War 2 Hindi Box Office Day 2 Shows Strong Growth on Independence Day, Hits Rs 71 Crore in 2 Days
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2 sees a significant jump in collections on Independence Day, reaching Rs 70 crore in two days. The film aims for Rs 200 crore total as it gains momentum ahead of the weekend.
After a modest opening of Rs 28 crore on its first day, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, witnessed a healthy spike in collections on Independence Day. Early trends suggest the film is poised to collect around Rs 40 crore on day two alone, pushing its two-day total to approximately Rs 70 crore in Hindi markets. This resurgence addresses earlier concerns about muted growth following mixed opening day reviews.
Day 2 Collection Spike Fuels Weekend Prospects
The film’s nearly 50% jump in box office collections on day two offers a much-needed boost as it heads into the crucial Independence Day weekend. Both single screens and multiplexes contributed to this rise, signaling widespread audience interest.
Comparing Day-by-Day Growth with Similar Releases
Industry comparisons point to War 2‘s day-on-day trend mirroring that of Fighter, another film released on a Thursday before a national holiday. However, War 2 benefits from the extended holiday weekend, including Saturday’s holiday, potentially allowing it to maintain strong box office performances over the weekend.
Regional Performance and Hindi Market’s Role
While War 2 saw a dip in southern states’ contribution, its Hindi version is now driving the film’s business, gradually narrowing the gap with its southern territorial earnings. This shift could be critical for its overall box office trajectory in coming days.
Day-wise Hindi Box Office Collection (Estimated)
| Day | Collection (Rs crore) |
|---|---|
| Thursday | 29.00 |
| Friday | 41.00 (Expected) |
| Total | 70.00 |
Looking Ahead: Can War 2 Reach Rs 200 Crore?
Sustaining collections post-Independence Day will be key for War 2 to cross the Rs 200 crore milestone during its theatrical run. The audience’s response in coming weekdays, especially Monday onwards, will shape its long-term success.
