War 2 Box Office Day 1 Advance Booking: 135% Jump in 24 Hours, Beats Housefull 5 & Saiyaara | Latest Update

War 2 Shatters Advance Booking Records, Massive 135% Jump in 24 Hours!

Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s much-awaited blockbuster, War 2, is turning heads with a stunning advance booking performance just one day before its release. The film registered a dramatic 135% surge in advance ticket sales within 24 hours, following robust pre-sales after opening bookings in Telugu-speaking markets. Jr NTR’s star power was on full display, as Telugu fans responded enthusiastically from the moment shows went live.

Ticket Sales & Box Office Collection: Latest Stats

  • By August 13 morning, War 2 sold 3.48 lakh+ tickets for Day 1, grossing around ₹9.9 crore (excluding blocked seats) at the Indian box office.
  • The Hindi version accounted for around 1.82 lakh tickets, while the Telugu version saw an impressive 1.49 lakh tickets sold.
  • On BookMyShow alone, between 9:18 am and 10:18 am IST, over 18,000 tickets were booked.

Price Hike Drama & Regional Impact

Earlier, confusion over ticket prices saw Andhra Pradesh approving a ticket hike, while Telangana rejected price increases for both War 2 and Coolie. This cleared the air, fueling a fresh advance booking wave as more shows went live, especially in Telugu belt, further amplifying numbers.

War 2 Beats Housefull 5 & Saiyaara in Pre-Sales

War 2 now boasts the third-best opening day pre-sales for Bollywood in 2025, surpassing Housefull 5 (₹8.02 crore) and Saiyaara (₹9.4 crore). With one more day to go, it is poised to challenge the current leaders: Sikandar (₹10.09 crore) and Chhaava (₹13.85 crore).

Top 5 Day 1 Advance Bookings of Bollywood in 2025:

2Sikandar₹10.09 Cr

4Saiyaara₹9.4 Cr

Market Analysis & Expectations

Despite fierce competition from South India’s juggernaut Coolie, which is dominating overall numbers, War 2 is ruling the Hindi belt. The explosive demand—especially in premium formats—and a growing wave of enthusiasm suggest that War 2 could grab the top spot for day 1 advance bookings once final figures come in.

Stay tuned for continuous updates as War 2 sets the stage for a spectacular box office launch on August 14!
