War 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's starrer fails to create magic, earns less than Tiger 3
One of the primary concerns is the film's advance booking performance. Compared to previous entries in the Spy Universe, War 2 has recorded lower pre-release ticket sales, especially in the Hindi-speaking regions. While the film has garnered attention in the Telugu-speaking states, thanks to Jr. NTR's massive fan base, the overall national response appears subdued. How War 2 became the weakest film of the YRF Spy Universe?
When comparing the box office collections of War 2, War, and Tiger 3, there's a clear contrast in their opening day performances. The original War (2019), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, set a high benchmark by earning Rs 53.35 crore on its first day, becoming one of the highest Bollywood openers at that time. Tiger 3, released in 2023 with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, also delivered a powerful debut with Rs 44.5 crore on Day 1, fueled by the Diwali holiday and strong fan following. In comparison, War 2, despite its massive scale and addition of Jr. NTR to the cast, reportedly opened with a lower figure of around Rs 31 crore, making it the weakest first-day performer in YRF's Spy Universe. More about Tiger 3
Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, managed to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline and high-octane action sequences. The film delves into the lives of RAW agent Tiger and ISI agent Zoya, who, despite their tumultuous past, unite to thwart a looming threat. The storyline of Tiger 3 revolves around conspiracy that endangers both India and Pakistan. Tiger and Zoya, now parents, find themselves entangled in a web of deceit, with their loyalty and love tested at every turn. As they navigate this treacherous path, they confront old enemies and forge new alliances, culminating in climax that underscores the importance of unity and trust. More about War 2
War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan as Kabir and Jr NTR in a powerful new role, which has been helmed by Ayan Mukerji, continues the action-packed saga with intense stunts, high-stakes drama, and a face-off between two super-agents while introducing new allies and enemies.

War 2 box office collection day 2: Will Independence Day holiday help Hrithik Roshan - Jr. NTR's film overtake Rajinikanth's Coolie?
War 2 Box Office Collection on Independence Day: Hrithik Roshan's War 2 can't stop, won't stop making money, as the film made history on Independence Day, August 15. Despite an underwhelming response from critics and audiences, War 2 has become the third-biggest opener in the YRF Spy Universe. Though it had the potential to be Bollywood's first Rs 100 crore net opener, it missed the mark by a significant margin, and the credit for that goes to Rajinikanth's Coolie . Still, we can say that the Ayan Mukerji directorial posted solid numbers on Day 1 compared to other Spy Universe films. On Day 1 of its release, War 2 earned Rs 51.5 crore in India, with the majority coming from the Hindi belt, i.e. Rs 9 crore. From the Telugu-speaking states, the film collected Rs 22.25 crore, thanks largely to Jr. NTR's massive fan base. Can War 2 Surpass Coolie? On Day 2, August 15, the Independence Day holiday gave the film a major boost. By 7 PM on Friday, War 2 had earned Rs 42 crore, bringing its total net collection in India to Rs 93 crore. The earnings from night shows are yet to be added, but early predictions suggest that War 2 is likely to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in India by the end of Day 2. Will Independence Day holiday benefit War 2 to beat Coolie? With Independence Day falling on a Friday, War 2 still has Saturday and Sunday to boost its box office performance, which could help it surpass Rajinikanth's unstoppable Coolie . According to the trade website Hrithik Roshan's film is just Rs 5 crore behind Coolie , which had a net collection of Rs 97 crore in India by 7 PM on Day 2. Well, we'll have to wait for the first weekend collections of War 2 and Coolie to see which film takes the lead.
