Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s much-hyped “War 2” kicked off its box office journey with an impressive collection, registering the actor’s biggest-ever opening weekend. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film opened at ₹28 crore on its debut day—the lowest among the YRF Spy Universe entries, but higher than Roshan’s last outing “Fighter.” However, “War 2” couldn’t match the blockbuster opening set by its predecessor “War” in 2019, which debuted to a record ₹50.60 crore on Gandhi Jayanti.
Bolstered by the Independence Day holiday, “War 2” collected ₹45 crore on its second day. Collections dropped to ₹26 crore each on the third and fourth days, indicating a steady but unspectacular run. For comparison, 2019’s “War” earned ₹22 crore, ₹20 crore, and ₹27 crore on its succeeding three days, while “Fighter” saw a huge ₹38.5 crore on its second day courtesy of the Republic Day holiday, followed by similar numbers for the rest of the weekend.
| Day | War 2 | War | Fighter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ₹28.00 cr | ₹50.60 cr | ₹23.00 cr |
| 2 | ₹45.00 cr | ₹22.00 cr | ₹38.50 cr |
| 3 | ₹26.00 cr | ₹20.00 cr | ₹26.00 cr |
| 4 | ₹26.00 cr | ₹27.00 cr | ₹27.00 cr |
| Total | ₹125.00 cr | ₹119.60 cr | ₹114.50 cr |
At the close of its 4-day extended weekend, “War 2” leads with a net collection of ₹125 crore at the Hindi box office, just ahead of “War” and “Fighter.” One must note that “War” had a longer 5-day opening weekend due to the Wednesday release, meaning the comparison slightly favours the newer releases when considering only the first four days. Assessing the first five days, the original “War” still holds the record.
Despite topping the charts over the weekend, “War 2” faced mixed reviews and weaker audience buzz, leading to a significant drop from Monday onward. As a result, it may struggle to sustain its momentum compared to the tremendous success of its predecessor.
“War 2” is currently running in cinemas nationwide. Moviegoers can book tickets through online platforms or directly at theatre counters.
