Why JR NTR is being called 'arrogant' after fan incident at War 2 screening
A viral video circulating on social media shows NTR lashing out at a person shouting Balayya slogans during an event.

With the clock ticking down to the release of 'War 2', the buzz is at an all-time high. The next big chapter in Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR , and helmed by Ayan Mukerji, has taken a solid headstart at the box office. The action entertainer, which opened ticket sales on Sunday, has already crossed 1.26 lakh tickets sold. As per early estimates on Sacnilk, collections from advance sales had touched Rs 4.1 crore by Tuesday, with two days still to go before the film's release. While the numbers seem modest for an early start, according to the report, box office numbers are expected to rise even further with blocked seats pushing the tally to Rs 8.54 crore. Early booking When sales opened on August 10, the film raced to the Rs 33.05 lakh mark within hours. Since then, demand has surged, especially in the Hindi belt. Format-wise performance The Hindi 2D version has emerged as the biggest revenue driver so far, bringing in an estimated Rs 3.19 crore. The Hindi IMAX format, has added another Rs 32.70 lakh to the tally. Among the dubbed versions, the Telugu release has shown a strong response, grossing around Rs 43.35 lakh, while the Tamil version has registered more modest figures at approximately Rs 6.74 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Meanwhile, screenings in premium formats such as ICE, Dolby Cinema, and 4DX have collectively contributed an estimated Rs 7.53 lakh. Top-performing states Maharashtra leads the charts with Rs 1.73 crore, followed by Delhi, earning Rs 1.44 crore and Karnataka scoring Rs 1.1 crore collection, with the inclusion of blocked seats. The release on August 14 sets up a direct showdown with Rajinikanth's 'Coolie'. While 'War 2' is expected to dominate the Hindi-speaking markets, 'Coolie' will have the upper hand in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The Telugu states could see the fiercest competition, with both films rolling out aggressive promotions and competitive ticket pricing. Screen advantage According to distribution reports, 'War 2' has locked 90% of single screens and 80–85% of multiplex screens in the Hindi circuit. Premium formats including IMAX, 4DX, ICE, and Dolby Cinema will give audiences a high-octane viewing experience. International markets In North America, as of August 11, 'War 2' had raked in USD 398.5K in pre-sales from nearly 15,000 tickets sold for 1,820 shows across 680+ locations in the US. Including Canada, pre-sales stood at USD 435K and are expected to approach the USD 500K mark before release. Premiere day earnings are projected to hover around USD 900K, based on current trends. However, 'Coolie' is currently far ahead in the region, with USD 1.85 million in premiere pre-sales and on track to cross USD 2 million — one of the highest tallies for an Indian film in the market. Late but wide release Unlike other big-ticket releases that open bookings well in advance, War 2 began selling tickets just four days before release. The Hindi version alone is expected to open on a massive 5,000 screens across India. Censor details The CBFC cleared the film with a U/A 16+ rating on August 6, 2025, and a runtime of 2 hours, 59 minutes, 49 seconds.

'Son of Sardaar 2' Box Office collection day 11: Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur's film faces major DROP on second Monday, earns just 1 crore; falls behind ‘Saiyaara' and 'Mahavatar Narsimha'
After a decent start, 'Son of Sardaar 2' is now struggling at the box office. The sequel to the hit 2012 film has failed to keep the momentum going and saw a major fall in collections on its 11th day. On Monday, August 11, 2025, the film made just Rs 1 crore net in India, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. So far, the total box office collection stands at about Rs 43 crore. Monday sees drop in occupancy The film's occupancy on Monday was quite low at just 10.33%. Breaking it down, morning shows had only 5.64% of seats filled, afternoons 10.77%, evenings 12.48%, and night shows 12.44%. Day-wise Box Office collection of 'Son of Sardaar 2' Day 1 (Friday): Rs 7.25 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 8.25 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 9.25 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 2.35 crore Day 5 (Tuesday): Rs 2.75 crore Day 6 (Wednesday): Rs 1.75 crore Day 7 (Thursday): Rs 1.40 crore Total for week 1: Rs 33 crore Day 8 (2nd Friday): Rs 1.25 crore Day 9 (2nd Saturday): Rs 4 crore Day 10 (2nd Sunday): Rs 3.75 crore Day 11 (2nd Monday): Rs 1 crore* (early estimate) Total collection so far: Rs 43 crore Tough competition at the Box Office 'Son of Sardaar 2' is not the only film fighting for audience attention. It faces tough competition from other movies still going strong. For example, 'Saiyaara' earned Rs 1.35 crore on the same Monday and has a massive total of Rs 319.85 crore. Its continuing success is a big challenge for new films like Ajay Devgn 's to attract viewers. Another strong contender is 'Mahavatar Narsimha', which earned Rs 5.25 crore on Monday, taking its total to Rs 174.90 crore. These films are clearly stealing the spotlight from 'Son of Sardaar 2'. Meanwhile, 'Dhadak 2' earned only Rs 60 lakh on Monday and has a total collection of Rs 21 crore, less than Ajay Devgn's film. Will 'Son of Sardaar 2' cross Rs 50 crore? The biggest test for 'Son of Sardaar 2' is still ahead. The highly awaited action film 'War 2', starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, will release on August 14. This big-budget movie is already creating a lot of buzz and has strong advance ticket sales. When 'War 2' hits the screens, it might take over the screens of 'Son of Sardaar 2'. This means making it even harder to reach Rs 50 crore at the box office.
