'War 2' box office collection Day 1: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani starrer crosses Rs 50 crore mark; catches up to Rajinikanth's 'Coolie'

and 's spy-action thriller 'War 2' has surpassed expectations at the domestic box office, delivering an opening day collection of Rs 52.50 crore (early estimates) and catching up to Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' in the race for top spot. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Advance Bookings Before release, advance booking trends suggested a modest start, with trade analysts predicting the film could record the lowest opening in YRF's Spy Universe. Many expected it to debut around Rs 43 crore net, similar to 's 'Tiger 3', despite its large-scale production and star power. Hindi Box Office Collections However, the film surprised at the ticket counters, with the Hindi version contributing an estimated Rs 29 crore net on Day 1. While this figure is a marked improvement over advance ticket sales, it still falls short of several franchise entries, including 'Ek Tha Tiger' which earned an estimated Rs 32.93 crore way back in 2012. Currently, 's 'Pathaan' occupies the top spot with a collection of Rs 55 crore. Tamil and Telugu Collections Significantly, it was the Telugu dubbed version that boosted overall earnings, amassing an impressive Rs 23.25 crore net, driven largely by Jr NTR's massive fan base. The Tamil version added a modest Rs 25 lakh. This strong regional performance helped War 2 comfortably cross the Rs 50 crore mark on opening day. Occupancy figures reflected this divide, Hindi shows recorded 29.24% occupancy on Thursday, while Tamil shows achieved a stronger 42.41%. Early Predictions Industry estimates suggest the film's total India gross for Day 1 could exceed Rs 60 crore once all language versions are included, with early gross estimates already touching Rs 65 crore. Coolie Box Office Collections Despite its success, competition from 'Coolie' in the southern markets and mixed audience reception, praising action but critiquing pacing, may affect momentum. With the Independence Day holiday and weekend ahead, 'War 2' still has the potential to build on its strong start and improve its Hindi market performance.

Krishna's kindness

Unable to bear the atrocities of Kamsa, everyone, from ordinary people to devas, aligned with the goddess of earth, Bhooma Devi, and decided to petition Maha Vishnu in person. At that moment, Vishnu Himself declared through an oracle that He would manifest on earth as Krishna and end Kamsa's cruelty. Overjoyed by this, the devas wanted to know if they should all turn into monkeys and populate Kishkinta country, as they had been advised by Him, ahead of His Rama avatar. An amused Vishnu responded, saying they could take any form they desired, from animate to inanimate, and await Him in Brindavan. They promptly landed on Nandagopal's property, who was astounded by the sudden spurt in the population of his cattle, said Damal Perundevi. Having already chosen His earth parents Devaki and Vasudeva and the foster parents Nandagopa and Yasoda, Vishnu asked Adisesha to precede Him as Balaram, conceived by Devaki, but delivered by Vasudeva's other wife through fetal transfer, while He Himself would arrive as the younger brother. Kamsa, Devaki's brother, celebrated her marriage to Vasudeva in a grand manner, bursting with brotherly love, when an oracle declared that the newly-wed's eighth child would kill Kamsa. An angry Kamsa was about to kill Devaki at once, when Vasudeva intervened and promised to deliver the new borns to him. Appeased somewhat, Kamsa then lodged the couple in a jail. Vasudeva did as promised. When Krishna's time to emerge came about, at midnight in the Tamil month of Avani, on Ashtami, under the Rohini star, Krishna decided to be born with His full regalia. His trademark weapons took on miniature form, the tiny crown glistened on His forehead, replete with peacock feather, and He sported a piece of yellow silk cloth around His waist, while the ankles jangled to the tinkle of bells from the anklet. Why did Krishna bedeck Himself so? It is because He was aware that Devaki would get but a fleeting glance at Him before He was given up. As a mother, the agony of such a parting is immeasurable and out of kindness, He decided that Devaki should get a good look at him, in full splendour.
