War 2 leaked online: Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani's spy thriller hit by piracy
War 2 falls prey to piracy
Hrithik Roshan is in the limelight because of War 2, his latest release. The film opened in theatres yesterday and received underwhelming reviews from most critics. Now, in a shocking development, the action drama has reportedly been leaked online on piracy websites.
These low-resolution pirated copies are going viral, much to the shock of those associated with the film fraternity. Moreover, terms such as 'War 2 full movie' and 'War 2 watch online' are being widely searched.
Viewers are advised to refrain from accessing piracy websites as doing so may expose them to financial fraud and malware.
Piracy is a major problem for the film industry. Coolie, which hit the screens with War 2, has also been leaked online. Piracy affects the box office performance of the title in question. It also dilutes the efforts put in by those from the film fraternity. Viewers should, therefore, watch movies through legal means only.
War 2 review: How's the word-of-mouth?
War 2 received mixed reviews with critics lauding the action scenes but panning the story and execution. The Times of India gave it 3 stars out of 5 and stated that it was high on action but low on content.
'War 2 offers high-octane moments, striking visuals, and polished production to make for a passable big-screen experience. Strictly watchable only if you're in it purely for the action and spectacle,' read a portion of the review.
This affected the film as it grossed only Rs 84 crore worldwide on day 1. The figure failed to do justice to its budget, which is said to be around Rs 400 crore.
About War 2
War 2 is a spy action thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film features Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan as two 'soldiers' at loggerheads with each other. The film features Kiara Advani as the leading lady.
Her bold looks have created a buzz among movie buffs. War 2 is a sequel to War (2019), which centred on the clash between Hrithik's character and the one played by Tiger Shroff. The biggie is a part of the 'Spyverse', which includes Pathaan and the Tiger franchise.

Coolie Worldwide Box Office Collection: After a record-breaking opening at the global market, superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie has minted a massive ₹ 245 crore in two days at the worldwide box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, as much as ₹ 103.25 crore of its global collection is credited from the overseas market. Coolie has grossed ₹ 141.75 crore from the domestic market. On its opening day, Coolie became the 'highest ever' opening grosser for a Tamil movie, with a collection of ₹ 153 crore. The Australian Telugu Films Association said that the Rajinikanth movie has grossed over $1.2 million (approximately ₹ 12 lakh) in Australia and New Zealand alone since its release on Thursday, August 14. In an X post, Hamsini Entertainment claimed that Coolie has grossed over ₹ 115 crore from the overseas market, which includes the US, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Coolie's Day 3 global earnings will be published tomorrow, Sunday. Coolie is very close to hitting the ₹ 150 crore milestone at the Indian box office. According to Sacnilk's early estimates, the Rajinikanth movie minted ₹ 24.29 crore on Saturday, August 16. However, the movie has hit a slump after its record-breaking opening and has witnessed a decline in its earnings since. With this, Coolie's 3-day total now stands at ₹ 144.04 crore. The total earnings will be revised later in the evening, once the figures for the night show are declared. Rajinikanth's Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and Monisha Blessy. Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is also a part of the film in a cameo role as Daaha. Coolie was released as Rajinikanth celebrated 50 years in cinema. The censor board gave the movie an A (Adults-only) certificate. This is Rajinikanth's first A-rated film in many years.

Pragya Kapoor shows support for Mrunal Thakur amid backlash over her old 'manly' comment on Bipasha Basu: 'One of the rarest souls I know'
Producer Pragya Kapoor has seemingly come out in support of actress Mrunal Thakur, who has been facing criticism after an old interview resurfaced online in which she made an unkind remark about Bipasha Basu . The viral clip, dating back to Mrunal's Kumkum Bhagya days, has been widely shared on social media, with many accusing the actress of "body-shaming" Bipasha. Mrunal issues public apology As the backlash grew, Mrunal addressed the controversy head-on, admitting her mistake. In an Instagram Story shared on Friday, the actress wrote that, at 19, she had said 'silly things' without understanding the 'weight of her words' and how even playful banter could end up hurting someone. She added that, over time, she has learned to appreciate that 'beauty comes in all forms.' Pragya and Hina Khan praise Mrunal's honesty Mrunal's candid apology has drawn support from several industry colleagues. Pragya Kapoor praised her without directly referencing the controversy, writing on Instagram Stories, 'Mrunal, your kindness, generosity, and endless support make you one of the rarest souls I know. Keep glowing and spreading love everywhere you go. Love you, darling.' Earlier, Hina Khan also lauded Mrunal for owning up to her mistake. She shared, 'Wisdom is the fruit of the tree of knowledge, rooted in experiences. We all make mistakes, especially when we are younger. I can very well relate to Mrunal... But with time, we evolve, we become kinder, we become compassionate. We learn by lifting each other up, fixing each other's crown.' Mrunal Thakur apologizes for Bipasha Basu remark: 'My intent was never to body-shame' Bipasha's cryptic response Meanwhile, Bipasha Basu appeared to respond indirectly to the resurfaced video. On Wednesday, she shared a cryptic post on Instagram Stories that read, 'Strong women lift each other up.' Adding her own note, Bipasha wrote, 'Get those muscles, beautiful ladies! We should be strong. Muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong.' Though she didn't mention Mrunal by name, many interpreted the post as a subtle response to the controversy.
