It is known to all that Bollywood went through a difficult phase in the last few months, with a number of films failing to perform at the box office. However, the month of August emerged as a beacon of hope for the industry. The stellar performances of the films released this month are a testament to the stronghold of Bollywood among the audience. Gadar 2 and OMG 3, both hit the theatres on 11 August and what unfolded later was heartwarming. Despite the box office clash, both films were flooded with positive reviews which later resulted in their tremendous box office collections. Shattering the notion that Bollywood is staggering, Gadar 2 has already crossed the 300-crore mark while Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi’s OMG 2 is also doing significant business.
