War 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Hit or flop? Here's how much Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's film earned on Saturday
How did the film perform day by day?
Day 1: Rs 52 crore Day 2: Rs 56 crore Day 3 (Saturday trends): Rs 3.55 crore (early estimates)
Total (India): Rs 111.9 crore
Worldwide: Rs 165 crore
Even in just three days, War 2 has already toppled the lifetime earnings of Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 and Sunny Deol's Jaat.
Blockbuster or flop?
By all signs, the film is tilting towards blockbuster territory. The first two days saw a dream run, powered by Hrithik's charisma and Jr NTR's pan-India pull. While Saturday showed a dip with Rs 3.55 crore, the overall tally keeps it safe in the hit zone. Importantly, it has managed to hold ground even while competing head-to-head with Rajinikanth's record-shattering Coolie.
What makes War 2 significant?
This isn't just another big release. War 2 is a crucial link in YRF's much-hyped Spy Universe, which already includes Pathaan and the Tiger films. Mukerji brings his trademark spectacle to the franchise, expanding its scale and reach.
The film also slips in a tease for what lies ahead. A post-credit sequence introduces Bobby Deol's arrival in Alpha, the next chapter, alongside Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Clearly, YRF isn't slowing down in its pursuit of building India's interconnected spy world.
Who stars in this action spectacle?
Fronted by Hrithik Roshan as the returning Kabir and Jr NTR as the new force in the universe, War 2 adds Kiara Advani in a powerful role and Ashutosh Rana reprising his part. Together, they fuel a film designed to set screens on fire.
While Rajinikanth's Coolie may have the sharper edge in numbers, War 2 has carved its path. Crossing Rs 100 crore in two days and touching Rs 165 crore globally is no small feat. More than the clash, the takeaway is clear: Indian audiences are hungry for spectacle, and both films are serving it in their grand ways.

Rs 90L in subsidies, but artisans still struggle with rising costs
New Delhi: An artist decorates an idol of Lord Ganesha ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi festival, in New Delhi. (PTI Photo)(PTI08_13_2025_000314B) Karad: An artist gives finishing touches to an idol of Lord Ganesha ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi festival, in Karad, Maharashtra. (PTI Photo) (PTI08_08_2025_000137B) Despite the corporation's subsidy scheme, traditional idol makers struggle with rising costs, insufficient aid, and labour shortages. Morajkar said the survey to identify PoP idol sales began on Aug 8, and so far, GHRSSIDC's inspection has flagged none. He said that the inspection will continue until Aug 24. 'Local mud clay idols are the customer's first choice, due to our awareness campaigns. The Shadu Mati and coconut fibre idols from Maharashtra are in demand, but not as much as the local clay ones,' Morajkar told TOI . GHRSSIDC offers a subsidy of Rs 250 per idol for up to 250 idols to the local idol makers. As of July 2025, GHRSSIDC received 367 local vendor applications for registration. In 2024, 475 vendors received subsidies totalling Rs 90.5 lakh on the sale of 45,248 idols, Morajkar said. Pernem, Sattari, and Bicholim talukas have the highest concentration of traditional idol makers in Goa. 'Earlier, we used to get the Chikal Mati at Rs 20,000 for a 10m truck. Now, the prices have risen to Rs 25,000,' said Bicholim sculptor Durgaram Shet. Local artisans allege the PoP idol ban is not strictly enforced. The clay idols are heavier, with rich colours being another distinguishing feature. Umakant Poke, a third-generation sculptor from Morjim, said that because certain vendors sell PoP idols, local sculptors catch negative attention from handicraft officials. 'They think we are selling PoP idols. We are trying to earn money with our honest efforts,' Poke said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
