War 2 FIRST Review Out: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR Deliver One Of The Biggest Blockbusters Of 2025
War 2 FIRST Review Out: Early reactions for War 2 are sky-high as fans call it the 'biggest blockbuster of 2025,' praising Hrithik and Jr NTR's chemistry and action spectacle. The adrenaline-fuelled War 2 has landed in theatres amid enormous hype, and early reactions on X suggest it could be the biggest blockbuster of 2025. Fans are hailing it as a 'thrill ride" packed with action, suspense, and emotional stakes, praising the crackling chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the latest chapter in Yash Raj Films' ever-expanding Spy Universe. Hrithik Roshan returns as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, but this time the stakes are even higher — Kabir has gone rogue, emerging as India's most dangerous villain. In his much-awaited Bollywood debut, Jr NTR steps in as elite agent Vikram, tasked with bringing Kabir down. What follows is a globe-trotting cat-and-mouse chase spanning multiple countries, punctuated by jaw-dropping stunts, tense face-offs, and an emotional undercurrent that fans say 'hits hard." Pre-Sales Surge Past Expectations Even before audiences got a glimpse of the final product, War 2 was rewriting box office forecasts. Advance booking numbers soared after Telugu state ticket sales went live, with BookMyShow recording over 20,000 ticket sales per hour at peak demand. As per Sacnilk, prior to Telugu bookings, the film had already grossed around Rs 10 crore (with block seats) for its Hindi version's opening day. Post the Telugu surge, analysts are predicting an opening day tally north of Rs 45 crore across languages, with opening weekend projections aiming for the Rs 150 crore worldwide mark. Early Reviews Point To A Blockbuster While full critic reviews are still incoming, fan reactions on X are overwhelmingly positive. Viewers are raving about the scale of the action set pieces and Hrithik and Jr NTR's performances. One enthusiastic fan wrote: 'WAR 2 is one HELL OF A RIDE; Full suspense, thrills and chills! And we are not ready for the heartbreak yet." Another said, 'Jr NTR is an absolute BEAST in #War2! His raw energy, intense action, and unmatched charisma set the screen on FIRE! This blockbuster is a perfect 5/5 – a cinematic masterpiece!" (sic) 🌟 Jr NTR is an absolute BEAST in #War2!

Mohit Suri reveals he called uncle Mahesh Bhatt for advice on Saiyaara: 'I said, I am feeling a little unsure'
Since its release last month, Mohit Suri 's most recent film, Saiyaara, has gained immense popularity. Newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starred in the movie, and as a result of its success, they have also become huge stars. As Saiyaara continues its box office run, Mohit recently discussed love, loss and of course, Saiyaara. He recalled how, when he was unclear about a particular scene in the movie, he called his uncle, Mahesh Bhatt , for guidance. Mohit's mother, Heena, is Mahesh Bhatt's sister, making him the filmmaker's nephew. Mohit has frequently worked under Mahesh's guidance, and he turned to his uncle and mentor for support when he was having doubts during the Saiyaara filming. When Mohit Suri was performing the scene with the actors, he felt it was becoming too dramatic, referring to the scene in Saiyaara where Ahaan Panday's father gets violent with him. Mohit told News18, 'At 7 in the morning the next day, I was going to shoot the scene. I sent a missed call to Bhatt saab. He was up at 4 in the morning, and he called me up. I said, 'I am feeling a little unsure, they're very nice people. I think I'm being a little too dramatic.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Colombia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo He has no idea about my script." 'All I've told him is the scene where the son gets violent with his father, he's an alcoholic. Bhatt saab just cut me off. He said a couple of swear words to me; that's him. I didn't realise that my profile picture was of my son's hand in my hand. He just said that the way you're holding your son's hand in a close-up, the kind of emotion you feel towards your son, no matter how, go shoot this scene, it's never going to have a wrong emotional connect," Mohit recalled. Mohit said that Bhatt mentioned, 'The son-father bond is too pure for you. How can the same person who has a DP like this even ask me this question? Go shoot it the way you want." Mohit Suri listened and paid heed to this advice and it turned out to be one of the scenes that Aditya Chopra loved most. Saiyaara, on the other hand, has moved viewers all over the world. The movie's worldwide total now exceeds Rs 500 crore, while its Indian box office receipts have surpassed Rs 300 crore. Alongside Ahaan and Aneet, the ensemble cast includes Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, Shaan Groverr, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola.

Coolie Gains More Multiplex Shows As Box Office Battle With Hrithik-Jr NTR's War 2 Heats Up
The competition between Coolie and War 2 is shaping up to be one of the year's most closely watched box office battles. The battle at the box office is heating up as Coolie steadily makes its mark against War 2 in Hindi. Initially, most single, dual, and triple screen properties across India were giving full preference to War 2, leaving only a few shows for Coolie. But the tide is shifting. Over the past four days, advance bookings for Coolie have surged, prompting cinemas to add more shows, according to Bollywood Hungama. The film, which was initially expected to earn Rs. 8 crore on its opening day, has now seen its capacity jump by 60 percent to Rs. 13 crore due to strong audience demand. While War 2 continues to lead overall Hindi screenings, Coolie has the potential to achieve higher occupancy rates in select locations where demand is strongest. Audience Demand Drives Multiplex Increase A leading multiplex executive told Bollywood Hungama, 'Coolie is performing well in tier 2 and tier 3 centres, and we are increasing the shows accordingly. Audience demand is clear, and we must match it." Another cinema owner, running a two-screen property, claimed that despite strict instructions from YRF not to give any show to Coolie, they managed to schedule two shows due to popular demand. Ticket sales for these shows have already begun picking up. The names of multiplex chains and cinema halls are being kept under wraps to protect business interests, but platforms like Book My Show are reflecting the increased availability of Coolie screenings, showing the film's growing presence in the Hindi market. The Clash Intensifies The competition between Coolie and War 2 is shaping up to be one of the year's most closely watched box office battles. With strong audience demand for both films, cinemas are quickly adjusting schedules. For moviegoers, this means more chances to catch Coolie on the big screen despite the YRF release dominating most venues. As box office numbers roll in, it will be intriguing to see whether Coolie can sustain momentum and challenge War 2's dominance in Hindi.
