War 2 Hindi Box Office Day 1 Estimates: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR Starrer Opens with Rs 30 Crore Net
The much-anticipated spy thriller War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, has opened in theaters across India on August 14, 2025. The Hindi version of the film has collected an estimated Rs 30 crore net on its first day, according to industry tracker, Sacnilk.
Despite the huge hype and belonging to the successful Yash Raj Films spy universe, War 2‘s Hindi box office debut has been modest, especially weighed down by stiff competition from Rajinikanth’s Coolie. Early reports highlight mixed word of mouth and reviews from audiences, which have impacted its initial footfalls.
