War 2 Stays Strong: ₹231.90 Crore in 16 Days

“War 2,” starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr., has accumulated ₹231.90 crore India net in 16 days, despite witnessing steep drops after its opening week. The movie’s first day netted ₹52 crore, but collections declined as competition increased, especially with Param Sundari’s release. War 2 remains a powerful draw for action lovers, maintaining second place among current releases.
