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, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, has started its global run on a strictly decent note. The movie has packed Rs 79 crore gross while a film featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR should have atleast opened to Rs 100 crore. 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. War 2 In Theatres War 2 plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Avartana at ITC Grand Chola launches a new limited edition menu. Here's what special about it
At Avartana, drumsticks — wrapped in a crunchy gram flour coat — look like they hopped off the Met Gala red carpet. Buttermilk — spiked with pepper, jaggery, beans, asparagus and toasted almonds — resembles an embroidered sari with pink-yellow petals and green leaves. The award-winning restaurant, launched in Chennai in 2017, is known for its progressive South Indian cuisine. The food is avant-garde, poised on technique, and marries surprising combinations. Loyalists are familiar with the menus available. Now, the team of chefs has added an inventive new collection of recipes to the roster. But you cannot just walk in and order them. Anoma, Avartna's limited edition menu can be prepared for a minimum of eight guests with a prior intimation of 48 hours. Targeted at celebrations and get togethers, Anoma means illustrious in Hindi, explains Chef Nikhil Nagpal with an air of a pedagogue. We sample the 10-course menu, along with a bright slew of cocktails. The hotel has been working hard on its cocktail programme, under its young general manager Shaariq Akhtar and mixologist Chingngaihlun, and now offers the ability to do a bar crawl across its six restaurants and one bar. However, enamoured by Anoma, we stay at Avartana and sip on heady guava picantes, spiked with ruby red dry Chettinad chillies, and Uthukuli butter washed Cognac with banana, cinnamon, filter coffee, and butter biscuit cream. The new beverage menu Kaleidoscope uses local ingredients — fruits like mango, banana, jackfruit, and narthangai, paneer rose, nannari root — to craft nine cocktails and five mocktails. Nikhil does not want to give away too many spoilers, but the food, in typical Avartana style is thoughtfully engineered to be a fun, surprising series of traditional, familiar flavours recreated with unexpected ingredients, modern techniques and artistic plating. Keep an eye out for the seabass, encased in a crisp, tasty pumpkin leaf. Also, be prepared for a little excursion mid-meal, complete with eye masks. Twirling his trademark moustache that has now become synonymous with Avartana, Nikhil says that of all these dishes, it was the Potato Malabari that seemed most challenging. 'It may sound simple but it took us 12 trials to perfect the technique,' he says, adding, 'The challenge was to get the texture of the potato right when mashed and used as an outer shell to encase the curry. If you just take mashed potato and steam it, the curry inside tends to leak. We had to add starchy ingredients like amaranth in the right quantity to get the soft texture of the potato, otherwise it can get hard and chewy.' The cogs are continuously turning at Avartana with the team of chefs — Mayank Kulshreshtra, Satheeswaran Loganathan, Lakshmanan Subramanian, and Nikhil — constantly identifying ingredients and pairings, and then working on turning them into dishes. One of the unique combinations in Anoma is the fragrant marikolunthu paired with lobster. While putting together the duck, it started with a Kerala style preparation with those spices. Then the team felt the flavours were similar to that of the quail and aborted that. We paired orange with that but it still had to be South Indian. So, we additionally made a sauce made with bydagi chillies, says Nikhil. The dessert is a poster child for the phrase 'If looks could deceive.' It's a dish that showcases the flavours of banana, jasmine, and apple, with a faux banana, what looks like a crumpled brown leaf, and stones. Make sure you pick the right one! Price on call. Avartana is located at ITC Grand Chola. Tel: 044 2220 0000.

War 2 box office collection Day 1: Hrithik Roshan's film earns less than Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, becomes lowest-opening film in...
After a lot of wait, finally Ayan Mukerji's action-thriller War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani has hit the big screens on August 14. The movie had a huge face-off with another highly-anticipated film Coolie, headlined by Rajinikanth. While it was prophesied that War 2 and Coolie would give tough competition to each other at the box office, what no one saw coming was that Hrithik Roshan's movie would fail to even make an impact. War 2 failed to cross Vicky Kaushal's Chhava openings. Scroll down to read in detail. Chhava vs War 2 Day 1 Opening Numbers While Chhava, which has now turned out to be the highest grosser of 2025 so far, earned Rs 33 crore on day 1 of its release, on the contrary, War 2, which also featured Jr NTR, who predominantly worked in the Telugu belt of the South industry, earned Rs 52.5 crore on day 1 of release. Now, these numbers and the headline may seem confusing. However, let us simplify that for you. Since War 2 is a pan-India release, the film has generated money from different belts. War 2 was released in three languages including Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Though the movie did not earn much from the Tamil belt, the Hindi version dominated the film's revenue flow. War 2's Hindi collection was Rs 29 crore, which is in comparison to Chhava's day 1 collection. Hence, Ayan Mukerji's directorial failed to even cross Chhava's mark. Chhava vs War 2 Budget War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster of the same name. The action thriller is part of YRF's spy thriller universe and is produced by the studio. Ever since the War 2 trailer was released, it made quite a lot of noise in the industry and among fans, hence it created good hype and everyone believed that the film would mint moolah. However, on the other hand, reportedly the budget of Chhava was between Rs 90-130 crore, and what no one saw coming was that Vicky Kaushal's movie would leave everyone in awe. War 2 Biggest Flop of… Since War 2 falls under the YRF Spy Universe, it will be interesting to see the collection of the film, but many reports indicate that the movie will be the lowest revenue generator in the YRF Spy Universe. Apart from War 2, the YRF Spy Universe consists of movies like Ek Tha Tiger (Rs 334.39 crore), Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs 339.16 crore), War (Rs 318 crore), Pathaan (Rs 543 crore), and Tiger 3 (Rs 345.78 crore).
