Final Takeaway

While War 2 managed a thunderous start in its opening weekend, the sharp decline during weekdays and Day 8 crash at just ₹2.09 crore showcase a struggle to maintain momentum.

Still, with ₹201+ crore India net in 8 days, the movie remains a commercial giant, though far from the original expectations pinned on the YRF Spy Universe. The upcoming weekend trend will be crucial in determining if it stabilizes or continues its steep fall.
