War 2 has made a strong impact at the box office, crossing the Rs 100 crore mark in just two days despite mixed reviews. So far, War 2 has earned around ₹7.7 crore in India across all languages on its third day. The total net collection (3 days) in India is around ₹116.05 crore.
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer ‘War 2,’ which released on August 14, opened to mixed reviews but exceeded expectations. The much-awaited sequel to the 2019 blockbuster ‘War’ has made a tremendous impact over a fiercely competitive box office weekend. The Hindi version has been a success over the Independence Day holiday, which has given it tough competition with Coolie as audiences flocked to theaters across India.
Junior NTR’s fan base outside the core audience was limited, so the Telugu version dropped a bit, while the Hindi version went ahead due to the Independence Day holiday. According to Sacnilk.com, the Hindi version earned ₹56.35 crore on the second day, an impressive increase from the first day’s collection of around ₹52 crore. The third day has so far earned ₹ 7.7 crore. The film’s total collection is now ₹ 116.05 crore.
“War 2” is a spy thriller that follows former RAW agent Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), who goes undercover to infiltrate a dangerous cartel. To gain their trust, he fakes the murder of his mentor, leading his agency to believe that he is a traitor.
A new RAW chief hires a special unit officer, Vikram (Jr NTR), to neutralize Kabir. The twist is that Vikram is Kabir’s long-lost childhood friend, who harbors a deep grudge against their past. The film’s main conflict is a high-stakes chase and psychological warfare between two men, who are driven by a mix of patriotism, revenge, and their fractured friendship. The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation that reveals their complex histories and forces them to confront their pasts. Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR chemistry carried the story along.
The presence of Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles enhances the film’s narrative. The film’s post-credits scene introduces Bobby Deol, who creates the next chapter of the franchise, ‘Alpha.’ The film, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, is set to release in December this year.
Despite the unexpected response from critics, the film has opened very well, especially on its second day (Independence Day), crossing the ₹ 100 crore mark in just two days. As the competition at the box office intensifies, ‘War 2’ and ‘Coolie’ continue to battle it out, captivating audiences across the country. The coming weeks will tell if ‘War 2’ can maintain its momentum and cement its place as a big blockbuster.
