OMG 2 getting a tough competition

OMG 2 has been facing tough competition in the north from Gadar 2 and in the South from Rajinikanth's Jailer. The movie has also been racing against Chiranjeevi's Bholaa Shankar. Moreover, some shows are still occupied by Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh starrer Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, hampering the collection of Amit Rai's directorial. However, the film is expected to do well in the coming days at the box office.
