Amit Rai's much-awaited sequel to the 2012 satirical comedy OMG hit the big screens on 11 August in India. Starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in the lead roles, OMG 2 has so far collected Rs 43.56 crore at the box office, as per reports.

The film reportedly collected Rs 17.50 crore on Sunday, 13 August.

Akshay's OMG 2 clashed with the release of Sunny Deol's most anticipated film of the year, Gadar 2. The film is also facing a challenge from Rajinikanth's Jailer, which hit the big screens across India on 10 August.

While Gadar 2 recorded the second-highest opening collection of the year for a Bollywood movie with a whopping Rs 40.10 crore, OMG 2 grossed Rs 10.26 crore on its opening day.

However, the film saw an upswing over the weekend, collecting Rs 15.3 crore on Saturday.

OMG 2 delivers a significant message about sex education in schools and has been receiving a largely positive response from both critics and the audience.
