'War 2' box office collection day 1 (LIVE): The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR starrer off to a great start, but Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' dominates at the moment
Rajinikanth
's 'Coolie' which has also released today and this is one of the biggest clashes of movies. 'War 2' starring
Hrithik Roshan
,
Jr NTR
and
Kiara Advani
has released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
While the pre-release ticket sales was not as high, just as the Telugu markets opened, the numbers from the advance bookings grew due to Jr NTR's presence as he's a huge star there. Thus, the film may be expected to do well in Telugu and Hindi both. It had collected Rs 16 crore gross already from the advance bookings.
Hrithik calls Rajinikanth his 'first teacher' ahead of 'War 2' vs 'Coolie' clash
As of now, as far as the net collections are concerned. Till 12 pm, 'War 2', has started off on a great note. As the collection so far is Rs 11.76 crore, according to Sacnilk. The film should have a day 1 number of atleast Rs 30-40 crore but time will tell if the numbers increase or decrease with spot bookings which will largely depend on positive word of mouth towards the film. Meanwhile, 'Coolie' starring Rajikinanth,
Nagarjuna Akkineni
,
Aamir Khan
,
Shruti Haasan
has made Rs 20.84 crore up till the same time.
According to Box Office India, Trade analysts caution, that these numbers of 'War 2' don't yet point to an 'huge blockbuster type of weekend', the kind the industry hopes for with such big-budget spectacles.
'War 2' may look underwhelming when compared to some past juggernauts, but the ratio of advance sales to first-day collections has changed in recent years, making direct parallels tricky. Some previous 'big ones,' as the trade hints, even had 'advances which were tampered putting it in a nice way.' By contrast, War 2's advance numbers are twice that of recent big titles like 'Raid 2' and 'Housefull 5'. Eventually, it's the reviews and now the footfalls during the weekend which will eventually determine the film's fate.
But at the moment it looks like, 'Coolie' is definitely on the upper side in terms of the numbers.
Day 1 [1st Thursday] ₹ 11.76 Cr ** -
Total ₹ 11.76 Cr

Why Gen Z Aries is different from millennial Aries
Aries has always been the zodiac's spark plug. They are fast, fiery, and allergic to slow living. But the version you get depends a lot on when they were born. Millennial Aries grew up burning mix CDs and chasing dreams a little differently from the traditional way. Gen Z Aries? They were raised on streaming, side hustles, and the belief that rules are just suggestions. Same zodiac sign, completely different playbook. Let's break down the five big ways Gen Z Aries is different from Millennial Aries - Risk-taking style Millennial Aries took risks like booking a one-way ticket or starting a side hustle no one understood. Gen Z Aries? They'll quit their job on a random Tuesday because the 'vibe' was off and somehow land three freelance gigs by Friday. Communication game Millennial Aries learned to fight with long paragraphs over text and dramatic song lyrics on MSN. Gen Z Aries will drop a three-word text, a meme, or just leave you 'on read'. However, the message still lands loud and clear. Approach to success For Millennials, success meant climbing ladders. Gen Z Aries would rather build their own ladder, paint it neon, and post the process online. They're allergic to waiting years for permission to do what they want. Handling relationships Millennial Aries wore their heart on their sleeve, even if it got messy. Gen Z Aries plays it cooler. They'll still love hard, but they guard their time and won't chase what's not chasing back. View on rules Millennials Aries broke rules in small rebellions, like sneaking into concerts. Gen Z Aries? They'll rewrite the whole rulebook, call it 'my way,' and dare anyone to stop them. Aries will always be Aries—driven, impulsive, and wildly alive. But if Millennials lit the fire, Gen Z is the one throwing gasoline on it and livestreaming the blaze.
