OMG 2 Box Office Estimate Day 5: Film holds strong, sees growth on Independence Day; collects Rs. 17 cr.

The anticipation surrounding sequels often reaches a crescendo as audiences eagerly await the continuation of a beloved story. One such film that has been garnering attention is OMG 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit Oh My God! starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. While the latest release features Akshay Kumar back in action it sees him sharing screen space with powerhouse actors Pankaj Tripathy and Yami Gautam. However, the film deals with a topic that has not really connected with audience in mass sectors, hence limiting the overall reach of the venture. But, despite this OMG 2, which has received highly positive reviews, has been doing well at the box office.

As the film continues its box office journey, trade predictions have painted a highly optimistic view. Based on reports, OMG 2 is likely to see approximately Rs. 17 cr. coming in on Day 5. This increase of nearly 65% from its opening day collection of Rs. 10.26 cr. is being attributed to the Independence Day holiday which has greatly helped the film’s collection. Besides this another factor that is working in favour for OMG 2 is the other release Gadar 2. While the latter has been rewriting box office records, the overspill audience from the film have been venturing for OMG 2 giving it a much-needed boost. These two factors combined, with the fact that the film has been making headlines, thanks to the actors’ petition to revise the ‘Adults Only’ rating, and the marketing hype have gone a long way in bolstering business.

Going further OMG 2, that has been rather consistent in its box office collections with continue its steady march at the box office. Currently, trade estimates claim that if the film continues in this fashion, it is more than likely to near if not cross the Rs. 100 cr. mark by the end of its first week.
