Directed by Amit Rai, ‘OMG 2’ reached the remarkable figure of Rs 120.62 crore in just 12 days post-release. This achievement didn’t go unnoticed. Fans and colleagues from the industry flooded Twinkle’s post with congratulatory messages. Akshay himself responded with heartfelt emojis, while Bobby Deol chimed in with a simple “Congratulations.”
The film’s success isn’t merely a reflection of its entertainment value. One fan aptly noted, “OMG 2 brilliantly balances entertainment with social relevance. It’s a compelling mix of social commentary and humor.”
Akshay, clearly touched by the overwhelming response, took a moment to thank his fans on Instagram. Sharing a clip from the film, he wrote about the incredible week ‘OMG 2’ had in the Indian Film history. He also highlighted the success of another film, ‘Gadar 2’, acknowledging its strong presence at the box office.
Earlier, trade analyst Taran Adarsh had reported ‘OMG 2‘ standing at a commendable Rs 79.47 crore. He detailed the film’s earnings day by day, emphasizing its steady climb.
Notably, ‘OMG 2’ faced stiff competition from ‘Gadar 2’, starring Sunny Deol. Yet, it managed to carve its own niche, captivating audiences. Alongside Akshay, the film boasts stellar performances from Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam. The anticipation for ‘OMG 2’ began right from the release of its teasers and posters.
There was some initial uncertainty surrounding the film’s release due to its religious themes. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) eventually approved it, albeit with some edits, granting it an ‘Adults Only’ certification.
For Akshay, ‘OMG 2’ is not just another release. It marks his 10th film to release on Independence Day. More importantly, it serves as a beacon of resurgence in his career, especially after facing a few setbacks in the box office in recent times.
