War 2 Box Office Collection Day 6: Hit or flop? Collections take a sharp fall, barely cross this mark
This brought its total to Rs 184.4 crore in India. While these are morning trend numbers, final evening figures are expected to show some rise. How much did it earn each day?
Here's the film's daily run so far: Day 1 (Thu): Rs 52 crore
Day 2 (Fri): Rs 57.35 crore
Day 3 (Sat): Rs 33.25 crore
Day 4 (Sun): Rs 31.3 crore
Day 5 (Mon): Rs 8.4 crore
Day 6 (Tue): Rs 1.24 crore
Total so far: Rs 184.4 crore
Clearly, the dip after Sunday has been significant, though the film is still eyeing the Rs 200 crore milestone in India soon. Is Coolie affecting its performance?
Yes. Rajinikanth's Coolie has proven to be a strong competitor, pulling in huge crowds since release. War 2, while strong in its first three days, seems to be losing steam as the clash continues. What makes War 2 apecial?
War 2 is part of the YRF Spy Universe, which already has hits like Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Salman Khan's Tiger films.
This installment features Hrithik Roshan as Kabir, with Jr NTR as his rival and Kiara Advani in a key role. The film also sets up the next spy universe entry in its post-credit scene, where Bobby Deol teases the upcoming Alpha starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
While War 2 opened with power, the weekday slowdown has left trade experts wondering if it can keep momentum. With Coolie dominating screens, the real test will be whether Hrithik and Jr NTR's thriller can still reach big numbers in the coming weeks.

Jodhaa Akbar film editor, who was ‘lured' and arrested by Madhya Pradesh police, faced sham FIR, High Court says
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has quashed criminal proceedings against Bollywood film editor Dilip Deo, observing that the FIR against him was a sham lodged with mala fide intention to recover money. Deo, known for his work in the historical epic 'Jodhaa Akbar' and Salman Khan-starrer 'Wanted', was arrested by the Ujjain police after an FIR was lodged on January 5, 2016. This came after he was accused of criminal intimidation and fraud related to a film promotion agreement gone wrong. His arrest had created controversy after the Ujjain police arrested him in Mumbai, allegedly without informing the local police. Deo was allegedly lured by the Madhya Pradesh Police team under the pretext of a film editing contract and taken into custody in a private car. The Mumbai Police alleged that Deo was taken to his residence in Goregaon West, where his wife was asked to sign a check of Rs 10 lakh under the insistence of the Madhya Pradesh Police team, court documents revealed. The Ujjain police later initiated departmental proceedings against Sub-Inspector Ramnath Bharti, Head Constable Narayan Singh and Constable Nanuram, who had gone to Mumbai to make the arrest. Justice Subodh Abhyankar concluded that the FIR 'had all the trappings of a civil dispute' and ordered the state to pay 'an exemplary cost of Rs 5 lakh for all the suffering caused to the petitioner, to be paid by the State to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of this order, with a further liberty to the State to recover the same from the delinquent police officers and the complainant (who accused Deo of intimidation and fraud) in accordance with law.' The court found serious irregularities in the case registration itself. Justice Abhyankar observed that 'on the face of it, it appears to be a sham FIR' because it was filed under section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, which 'was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2015 in the case of Shreya Singhal v Union of India'. The court also noted that section 507 of the IPC would not apply since 'the calls, as alleged by the complainant, were not made by anonymous callers but specifically named accused persons'. The court highlighted that despite the serious allegations, 'in the FIR, there is no reference of any amount which the complainant had given to the accused persons', and surprisingly, 'in the text of the final report under section 507, 506B, 406, 420 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, also, there is absolutely no reference of any amount having been given by the complainant to the accused persons or specifically to the petitioner.' Adding to the irregularities, the court noted that 'the Ujjain police had also obtained a cheque of Rs 10 lakh from the petitioner's wife at the time of his arrest in Mumbai', raising questions about the conduct of the investigation. The case led to a departmental inquiry against Inspector R K Singh, the then Station House Officer of Birlagram, Nagda, for 'sending of a team without permission to Mumbai for the purposes of investigation and to arrest the accused persons'. The Additional Director General and Inspector General of Ujjain Zone, in a final order dated May 5, 2017, found Singh's reply unsatisfactory and 'one increment has been withheld with cumulative effect'. Deo argued in court that he was being persecuted in a false case that was 'purely a civil dispute', noting that both the Mumbai Police and Ujjain police had given him a clean chit. He also referenced a Human Rights Commission order dated October 16, 2017, which directed the concerned police station to pay Rs 25,000 as interim relief to his wife for harassment — an amount that had already been paid. The petitioner claimed he 'suffered irreparably on account of the mala-fide exercise of the powers of the police personnel' as people began avoiding him and stopped engaging his services after the FIR was lodged, leaving him in a 'hand to mouth situation'.

War 2: Hrithik Roshan's trainer reveals fitness secrets cardio strength training recovery
If you're from the generation that grew up imitating Hrithik Roshan's hook steps from Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, it is likely that his bulging biceps left an indelible impression on your mind. That was year 2000. He was 26 years old. Cut to 2025, at 51, Bollywood's 'Greek God' is still wooing the audience with his muscular arms. His ripped physique in his latest film War 2 has left fans starstruck once more - so much so that Hrithik's arms are being called Bollywood's new-age 'Dhai Kilo Ka Haath'! Hrithik Roshan went through a disciplined fitness routine for his V-taper body in 'War 2'.(Team Hrithik Roshan) This is a famous epithet associated with Sunny Deol after a famous dialogue in his 1990s film Damini. But Hrithik Roshan has earned the tag with his dedicated and disciplined fitness routine for his "ruthless" avatar as Kabir Dhaliwal in the just-released 'War 2'. In an exclusive interview to Health Shots, Hrithik Roshan's personal fitness trainer Swapneel Hazare, reveals that the aim was to help the actor build a classic hero proportion for the movie, which also stars Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. "The core objective was to elevate the character, not reinvent him. We wanted to retain the iconic silhouette but bring more mass, more strength, and a more imposing screen presence. That meant bigger delts, fuller arms, and a tapered waist to exaggerate the V-taper, the classic hero proportion," Swapneel reveals. Hrithik Roshan's 'dhai kilo ka haath' Every aspect of Hrithik's training was structured to visually amplify his upper body while keeping the waist tight. And the results seem to speak for themselves on screen! Hrithik's biceps have led to discussion threads on platforms like Instagram and Reddit, with users noticing how his arms are bigger than his head! One Reddit user compared Hrithik Roshan's muscles from War 1 and War 2.(Reddit) A recent Instagram video featuring Hrithik Roshan in slow motion - training for War 2 -also gave fans enough reason to wonder what it takes for a man to look like he does at 50-plus! Hrithik Roshan's workout routine for War 2 What did Hrithik Roshan's training routine really look like for War 2? Swapneel reveals: "We followed a classic four-day resistance split. Day 1: Chest, Day 2: Back, Day 3: Legs and Day 4: Arms (biceps + triceps). Alongside that, we incorporated steady-state cardio to maintain low body fat. But the real edge came from combining functional drills and mobility work. The cardio wasn't just about fat burn. It enhanced agility, helped recovery, and kept his movement sharp. Without that balance, the physique would have looked heavy and sluggish on screen. But with it? You get speed, presence, and raw power," adds Swapneel. The fact that Hrithik Roshan is in his 50s also meant his workout routine paid attention towards recovery, joint health, and mobility. His trainer admits that age changes everything: cellular recovery, hormonal response, even how tendons and ligaments behave under load. Add to that Hrithik's history with back and knee injuries. These posed a nuanced challenge. How did they navigate it? Safety was priority "We had to strike a perfect balance between aesthetics and safety. With strength training we couldn't rely on heavy loads, so we dialed up the training density and intensity by using supersets, drop sets, and high-rep volume to stimulate Hypertrophy without joint strain," he says For mobility, they developed two separate warm-up and mobility protocols: one tailored for dance rehearsals, the other for fight choreography. Sharing one of the toughest parts of Hrithik Roshan's prep for War 2, Swapneel says it was pushing through a dance sequence while managing a knee injury that was followed by a back issue. Calling the actor a 'hybrid athlete' the trainer says that over the years they have shifted from max loads toward high-efficiency, joint-friendly training. "Volume became our primary tool- more reps, more sets, more density and intensity. This allowed us to build more lean muscle while keeping his knees and back protected. The intensity still exists, but it's smarter now. His mind-muscle connection, awareness of fatigue thresholds, and ability to modulate intensity is what sets Hrithik apart," he asserts. Besides this, recovery was a daily priority, not an afterthought. "Every session ended with a cool-down tailored to his pain points. On bad days, we adjusted. On good days, we pushed. That's how you train an athlete — not by pushing blindly, but by adapting intelligently," explains Swapneel, a former cricketer who turned to fitness training. Recovery techniques used by Hrithik Roshan Are there any specific recovery techniques that were a part of Hrithik Roshan's workout regime? "Absolutely," says Swapneel, adding that Hrithik's recovery toolbox was, in fact, as advanced as his training! According to him, Hrithik underwent: Deep tissue massage and myofascial release helped flush out lactic acid and eliminate trigger points. Ice baths and infrared saunas were scheduled to manage inflammation and improve circulation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was used periodically to accelerate healing at the cellular level. Nutrition and timing were key. Refueling him at the right time with the right macronutrient matrix was critical. That's when the real muscle-building happens between sessions and when you sleep. Sleep is the keystone. Without it, nothing else holds. "Our goal was to get 7 hours of high-quality sleep every night which is easier said than done, especially with Hrithik's sleep struggles. But we fought for it with strict shutdown rituals, magnesium protocols, and blue-light management," explains the trainer, who believes training and nutrition only work if the body is allowed to rebuild. Evolution of Hrithik Roshan's training routine Swapneel Hazare has worked with Hrithik Roshan since 2018. What's one trait about the actor's approach to fitness that has remained unchanged, and one that has evolved with age? "Unchanged? His discipline. His obsession with self-mastery. He shows up, day in and day out, with surgical focus. Evolved? His wisdom. In his younger years, he would power through but now, he optimizes. He understands how sleep, hydration, micronutrients, and circadian rhythm all sync to influence results. That level of bio-integration only comes with experience," adds the trainer. What's your fitness advice to younger men who want to be as fit as Hrithik at 50? "Forget shortcuts. Forget trends. You don't need fancy programs. All you need consistency. Whatever you do, do it with integrity and relentless commitment. It's not about doing more, it's about doing the simple things right. Every day," says Swapneel.
