War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik-Jr NTR Film Sells 50K Tickets, Eyes Rs 30 Cr Hindi Opening
Last Updated: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, sells 50,000 Hindi tickets in advance. A Rs 30 crore day-one and Rs 100 crore global opening are on the cards. The buzz for War 2 is steadily building as the Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani starrer clocks impressive advance booking numbers in its Hindi version. As of 11:30 pm on August 11, 2025, national cinema chains PVRInox and Cinepolis reported a combined 50,000 tickets sold for day one. War 2 Hindi Advance Sales Hit 50,000, Rs 30 Crore Opening Expected Trade analysts expect final pre-release sales in these chains to cross 1.5 lakh tickets, paving the way for a ₹30 crore-plus net opening in Hindi alone. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film marks a major chapter in YRF's Spy Universe. While the Hindi bookings are off to a solid start, the Telugu version opens for reservations tomorrow. Analysts predict healthy numbers but caution that War 2, being primarily a Bollywood production, won't enjoy the automatic regional boost that big-ticket Tollywood films typically get. War 2 Mixed Buzz, But Huge Potential at the Box Office Early industry chatter classifies War 2's Hindi bookings as 'good, though not exceptional." Compared to the euphoric pre-sales seen in some 2023 Bollywood blockbusters, the film's mass appeal still has room to grow. Trade experts believe positive word of mouth will be key to pulling in wider audiences. Hrithik Roshan's last outing Fighter saw strong urban numbers but faltered with rural and mass-market viewers. Whether War 2 can bridge that gap will be a major talking point post-release. Globally, advance booking trends are encouraging. A ₹100 crore worldwide opening day is within reach for the action-packed thriller. However, competition is fierce—its release-day rival Coolie is projected to net around ₹140 crore on debut. That said, Hindi films generally sustain better post-opening than Tamil blockbusters, giving War 2 a chance to take the lead in the days following its release. With slick action, a star-studded cast, and a storyline that unites two pan-India icons, War 2 is positioned as one of 2025's most ambitious releases. If audience reception matches the hype, the film could dominate the Independence Day weekend box office.
