The Ayan Mukerji directorial collected around Rs 30 crore nett in Hindi on its opening day, and garnered the same amount or slightly more from its Telugu reported by the trade website Sacnilk, YRF's sixth film in the spy universe has grossed over Rs 60 crore (approx) domestically. In Hindi, though, the collection seems to be even lower than 'Ek Tha Tiger', which is the lowest opener in the spy Salman Khan-starrer collected around Rs 33 crore nett in 2012 - way before YRF converted the spy films into a universe. The report suggested that the trade industry was expecting 'War 2' to open at least close to 'Tiger 3', which collected around Rs 43 crore nett with its Hindi version. The film, however, has got a big Independence Day weekend window to perform smoothly at the ticket window.
