War 2 Advance Booking Update: Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR Film Sells 78,000 Tickets in Hindi, Targets ₹30-35 Crore Opening

War 2 Hindi Advance Booking Update: Blockbuster Start Expected This Independence Day Weekend

Ayan Mukerji’s much-awaited action entertainer War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, is all set to hit the big screens on 14 August 2025. With just a day left for release, the film’s advance booking numbers suggest a thunderous opening at the box office, especially for its Hindi version.

Strong Advance Booking in Hindi Markets

In the top Indian multiplex chains — PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis — War 2’s Hindi version has already sold 78,000 tickets for the opening day.

If we look at the pan-India count, overall ticket sales for opening day are expected to be in the range of 1.5 to 1.75 lakh tickets. This momentum has set the film up for an opening day collection of ₹30–35 crore net in Hindi alone.

Telugu Version Shows Promise

Though War 2 is a Bollywood film, the makers are releasing it in a Telugu dubbed form to capitalise on Jr NTR’s massive fanbase in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Bookings in these states have been solid right from the start. While the earnings may not match a typical Tollywood biggie, trade experts predict it could secure the third-largest Bollywood opening in the region after Saaho and Adipurush.

Independence Day Box Office Boost

The film’s second day, 15 August 2025, falls on Independence Day, a national holiday — known for record-breaking collections.

With strong advance sales and a holiday push, War 2 in Hindi is aiming for ₹50 crore+ net collection on Day 2 itself, provided the audience response is positive.

Clash with Rajinikanth’s Coolie

Initially, trade circles believed War 2 would dominate without much competition, but Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie has performed exceptionally well in some markets, notably in the South and overseas.

However, in core Hindi markets, War 2 is ahead by a considerable margin, recording far stronger advance bookings than Coolie.

International Expectations

Overseas, War 2’s advance bookings are moderate compared to domestic buzz. Trade estimates suggest:

  • USD 2.5 million (₹20 crore) opening day overseas
  • Around USD 8 million (₹65 crore) opening weekend overseas

The film’s global opening weekend is projected at ₹300–350 crore, while Coolie might touch ₹400 crore worldwide.

Verdict: High-Octane Start in Sight

Between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s star powerAyan Mukerji’s direction, spectacular action sequences, and a festival release date, War 2 is perfectly placed for one of 2025’s biggest Bollywood openings.

If positive word-of-mouth spreads quickly, the film could enjoy an extended Independence Day weekend run with record-breaking numbers in the Hindi belt.
