Anupam Kher and still from OMG 2
The Independence day releases-'Gadar 2' and 'OMG 2' have been doing an impressive run at the box office. Akshay Kumar's 'OMG 2' has also been receiving high praise from the audience. Actor Anupam Kher also watched the film directed by Amit Rai on Sunday along with his mother Dulari Kher.
After watching the film, Kher took to his X handle (previously Twitter) to share a video from the cinema hall. Along with it, he also shared his thoughts on the film. He said he spotted parents with their teenage kids at the movie screening, probably hinting at the 18 and 19 year-olds as the film holds an A certificate (adults only).
Sharing a video from the cinema hall, Anupam wrote on Twitter, "Just finished watching #OMG2. Spectacular, stylish & a very important film of our times. A film on #SexEducation with ease and wonderful aesthetics! It was houseful. Saw parents with their teenage children. Obviously the film has struck a chord with the audiences!"
Praising the director and the cast, he wrote, "Full marks to writer/director #AmitRai. @TripathiiPankaj is BRILLIANT. He makes acting look easy but I know there is huge preparation behind it. @yamigautam is beautifully sharp & excellent. I loved #PavanMalhotra as the judge. The film's star undoubtedly is my friend & #GOAT @akshaykumar! His Mahadev is so effortless and charming. My mother kept saying, kitne sundar hain Shiv ji maharaj (how beautiful Lord Shiva is)!It is an amazing feeling to see that the magic of actors of 90s @iamsunnydeol @iamsrk @akshaykumar is limitless. Jai Ho!"

Despite facing tough competition from Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2', 'OMG 2' has fared phenomenally well at the box office.
The film has now scored a century at the box office.
Taking to Instagram, trade analyst Taran Adarsh updated fans and wrote, "100 NOT OUT #OMG2 speeds yet again The 'current trends' suggest, #OMG2 should comfortably cross 125 cr mark. Whether or not it reaches/crosses 150 cr will depend on how #DreamGirl2 fares [Week 2] Fri 6.03 cr, Sat 10.53 cr. Total: 101.61 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice".
