War 2 Day 1 Worldwide Box Office: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's movie grosses an ordinary Rs 79 crore on opening Thursday
War 2 Packs Rs 79 Crore Gross At The Worldwide Box Office On Opening Day
The Hindi language collections of War 2 in India are Rs 28 crore net (Rs 34 crore gross), while the Telugu collections are Rs 24 crore gross. The collections from Tamil are almost negligible. The collections from overseas are USD 2.4 million (Rs 20.75 crore), with USD 1 million coming from premieres and USD 1.4 million coming on the first day. The India net Hindi collections can be seen as decent. The movie should have atleast targetted Rs 40 crore if not more. The India collections from Telugu are good on face value but when you realise that a distributor from the south shelled a fortune for the film's rights, you will understand that these are very poor numbers. The overseas collections are underwhelming. The overseas numbers are lower than what Devara collected in North American premieres alone.
War 2 Heads For A Rs 300 Crore Worldwide Weekend
War 2 will be trending well over the weekend. It should be sitting comfortably at over Rs 300 crore worldwide by the end of Sunday. It's hold in the subsequent days will determine what it can do in its lifetime. A Rs 500 crore worldwide should be a face-saving result, but that won't be easy if the movie fails to sustain on Monday.
In all, War 2's start leaves us wanting for more. When the film went on floors, numbers as absurd as Rs 175 crore gross worldwide on day 1 surfaced the internet. The promos of the movie failed to create an impact and the estimates came down. However, even in the worst case, a Rs 100 crore gross was expected and that has unfortunately not happened.
Coolie Leads War 2 By A Double Margin On The Opening Day
Coolie has collected almost double of War 2 on the opening day. Both the movies have a similar critical reception. But War 2, being a Bollywood film, shall have a leggier run than its Tamil counterpart. War 2 may start leading in dailies but Coolie is expected to end with a higher global gross, thanks to its lead overseas.

Shashi Kapoor's 'wife', whose life was destroyed in a hotel room, gave intense intimate scenes with Vinod Khanna, she is...
The world of Indian cinema has witnessed different actors, who were either considered iconic, hit, or flop. Among these actors, some of them made such an impact on the audience that despite not working in the industry for years, they are still fondly remembered. Today, we will discuss an actress who once romanced Shashi Kapoor on-screen and worked with many big actors. However, her life was filled with ups and downs. Actress Who Became a Sensation in the 70s, 80s, 90s While the entire nation is celebrating the 79th Independence Day today, this actress has double reasons to celebrate. While the first is the freedom of the nation, the other is her birthday. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this actress is none other than Rakhee Gulzar. Rakhee Gulzar made her film debut in 1967 with the Bengali film Bodhu Boron at the age of 20. She then entered Hindi cinema with the 1970 film Jeevan Mrityu opposite Dharmendra, which was a commercial success and established her as a prominent actress. Over the years, she featured in different movies such as Sharmili, Laal Patthar, Paras, and more. All these films gave her an identity, and soon she topped the chart of hit actresses. Rakhee Gulzar's Life Was Ruined in a Hotel Room In 1963, Rakhee married journalist Ajay Biswas. However, the two parted ways, and later in 1973, Rakhee married again and this time to the famous writer-lyricist Sampooran Singh Kalra, popularly known as Gulzar. Often, there were times when Rakhee would go with Gulzar for his shoots. Gulzar was making a film with Sanjeev Kumar, and during the shoot, he allegedly got carried away under the influence of alcohol, prompting the actress to refuse to work. As per media reports, it is later said that Gulzar called the actress and tried convincing her by explaining the matter. However, Rakhee saw Gulzar leaving the hotel room, which made her upset. This incident caused bitterness in their relationship, and soon, the two parted ways. Since then, Rakhee has been living alone.

Raj Kundra offers his kidney to Premanand Maharaj. But was it for publicity?
Synopsis Businessman Raj Kundra drew both praise and criticism after a video from his visit to Vrindavan showed him offering a kidney to spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj, who has been battling kidney failure for over a decade. While some lauded the gesture, others called it a publicity stunt, prompting Kundra to defend himself on social media, urging people to 'judge less, love more' and stressing that his past should not overshadow his present choices. Raj Kundra Responds to PR Stunt Claims Over Kidney Offer to Premanand Maharaj Businessman Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, recently became the subject of intense online debate after a video from the couple's visit to Vrindavan surfaced. The footage captured Kundra offering one of his kidneys to spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj, who revealed during their interaction that both his kidneys had failed and that he had been living with the condition for more than a unexpected gesture visibly surprised Shilpa Shetty, whose reaction in the video drew as much attention as the offer itself. Although Maharaj expressed gratitude for the sentiment, he politely declined Kundra's offer. What some saw as an act of selflessness quickly became the target of skepticism online, with several social media users dismissing it as a 'PR stunt' due to Kundra's past controversies. The businessman addressed the criticism through posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), stating that it was 'strange' to see a life-saving gesture mocked as a publicity wrote that if compassion is considered a stunt, then the world could benefit from more of it, and if humanity is viewed as a strategy, it should be widely adopted. Kundra further noted that he does not allow the media or trolls to define him through labels. In another part of his statement, he remarked that his past does not negate his present choices, and that people should 'judge less, love more' as it might help save controversy comes at a time when Kundra and Shetty are also facing serious legal allegations. As per median reports, businessman Deepak Kothari has accused the couple of defrauding him of Rs 60 crore between 2015 and 2023. He claimed the funds, provided for business expansion, were allegedly used for personal Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is currently investigating the case. Advocate Prashant Patil, representing Kundra and Shetty, has publicly denied the accusations, calling them baseless and malicious.

Top 10 Highest Kollywood Opening Day In Andhra States: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie takes 2nd biggest start despite clash with War 2
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, took the second biggest opening among Tamil releases in Andhra states. It grossed Rs 17.75 crore and is just under Rajinikanth's own 2.0. The difference here is that Coolie managed Rs 17.75 crore, despite locking horns with War 2, featuring the Tollywood superstar Jr NTR. If not for the clash, the movie could have hit Rs 30 crore. A Rs 30 crore start would mean a new Kollywood record, and that too by a margin of an absurd 65-70 percent. Coolie Takes 2nd Biggest Kollywood Opening In Andhra States; Would Have Topped List With Solo Release Rajinikanth has a total of 5 movies in the list of top 10 highest opening Kollywood movies in Andhra states, and that's the highest for any actor. Apart from 2.0 and Coolie that occupy the top 2 spots, Kabali, Jailer and Darbar also make the cut. Audiences in the Andhra states have always treated Rajinikanth as their own star. For Coolie to give War 2 a run for its money in Andhra states speaks volumes. Infact, Coolie's day 2 is likely higher than War 2. Other movies part of the list are Thalapathy Vijay's Leo, Master and Beast, Vikram's I and Kamal Haasan's Indian 2. To note, S Shankar is the biggest Kollywood director in Andhra states. He has 3 films in the list, and then there are also other blockbuster films of his that were earlier part of this list. Lokesh is also catching up to S Shankar's greatness in the twin states, with Coolie becoming his third film to enter the list after Leo and Master.
