Akshay Kumar starrer OMG 2 becomes 4th highest Bollywood grosser with A certificate

Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 has become a box office success after a string of flops. After delivering five underperformers at the box office with the likes of Selfiee (2023) and Raksha Bandhan (2022), Akshay Kumar appeared in the follow-up of his 2012 hit OMG. While the film had huge anticipation riding on it, CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) gave it an A certification, restricting its audience. Despite this, OMG 2 has performed well at the box office despite competition from Gadar 2 and other releases.

3 things you need to know: 

• Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam star in OMG 2. 
• The film is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film Oh! My God.

After earning Rs 139.5 crore during its 17-day run at the box office so far, OMG 2 has become the fourth highest-grossing A-certified film in Bollywood. This development came after the film minted approximately Rs 4 crore on Sunday.
