Pinkvilla Predicts: Opening day Hindi net box office collections for War 2, Coolie, Param Sundari, Baaghi 4, Jolly LLB 3 and more
The Hindi box office is set for an exhilarating lineup of films in 2025 that features high-octane action, romantic comedies, and gripping courtroom dramas. At Pinkvilla, we're analysing the buzz of the films and predicting the opening day India net Hindi collections for some of the most anticipated releases. Below, we analyze the opening day potential of War 2, Param Sundari, Coolie, Jolly LLB 3, Baaghi 4, Dhurandhar, and The Raja Saab, arranged in order of their release dates. The Day 1 India Net Hindi Prediction For Upcoming Indian Movies Is As Under 1. War 2: Rs 35.00 Crore to Rs 37.00 Crore (Release Date: August 14, 2025) War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe and a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Starring Hrithik Roshan as Major Kabir, alongside Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, the film promises explosive action and a gripping narrative. The original War took a record start of over Rs 50 crore, but considering a non-holiday release, and a box office clash with Coolie, we predict a robust opening of Rs 35.00 crore to Rs 37.00 crore in Hindi. Hrithik's star power, Jr NTR's pan-India appeal, and YRF's premium format release should drive strong footfalls in urban centers. 2. Coolie: Rs 6.00 Crore to Rs 7.00 Crore (Release Date: August 14, 2025) Rajinikanth's Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is a Tamil action-drama with a Hindi dubbed version aiming to capture the superstar's North Indian fanbase. Featuring Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir and Upendra in supporting roles, the film is set for a high-profile clash with War 2. While Rajinikanth's star power is immense, his recent Hindi dubbed films like Jailer and Vettaiyan have not been able to make their presence amply felt. But things are very different for Coolie, which is showing some excellent advance booking signs. We predict a Hindi opening of Rs 6.00 crore to Rs 7.00 crore net. On an all-India level, Coolie has taken a very comfortable lead over its release rival. 3. Param Sundari: Rs 10.00 Crore to Rs 11.00 Crore (Release Date: August 29, 2025) Param Sundari is a romantic comedy directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films. It stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. Set against Kerala's scenic backwaters, the film promises laughter, chaos, and a cross-cultural love story. With strong urban appeal and a potential hit music album, we predict an opening of Rs 10.00 crore to Rs 11.00 crore net. 4. Baaghi 4: Rs 8.00 Crore (Release Date: September 5, 2025) Tiger Shroff's Baaghi series continues with Baaghi 4, an action-packed entertainer produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The franchise used to have a loyal fanbase, but the same can't be said now. The mixed reception to the first teaser is slightly alarming but the movie still seems to have things going for it, to ensure Tiger Shroff's biggest solo opener post-pandemic. Pinkvilla predicts an opening day of Rs 8.00 crore net as things stand. 5. Jolly LLB 3: Rs 20.00 Crore to Rs 22.00 Crore (Release Date: September 19, 2025) The Jolly LLB franchise returns with Subhash Kapoor's third installment, featuring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi in a hilarious courtroom showdown. Jolly LLB 2 opened at around Rs 12 crore in 2017, and based on the exceptional first promo, we expect Jolly LLB 3 to open at Rs 20.00 crore to Rs 22.00 crore net. Its blend of satire and relatability will drive footfalls across urban and single-screen theaters. 6. Dhurandhar: Rs 21.50 Crore to Rs 22.50 Crore (Release Date: December 5, 2025) Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt among many other loved actors, is a high octane espionage thriller. The movie clashes with The Raja Saab and Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj's untitled next. We estimate an opening of Rs 21.50 crore to Rs 22.50 crore net, making it the most preferred movie option of December 5. 7. The Raja Saab: Rs 10.00 Crore to Rs 12.00 Crore (Release Date: December 5, 2025) Prabhas ' The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, is a romantic-action-horror film with a Hindi dubbed version, banking on Prabhas' familiarity among Hindi movie audiences. Co-starring Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan and Sanjay Dutt, the film looks to take a modest Rs 10.00 crore to Rs 12.00 crore net start. It will most likely be the second most preferred Hindi movie option for the day it releases on. The Opening Day India Net Hindi Prediction For The Abovementioned Movies Is As Under Release dates (2025) Movies Day 1 Prediction: India Net August 14 War 2 Rs 35.00 crore to Rs 37.00 crore August 14 Coolie Rs 6 crore to Rs 7 crore August 29 Param Sundari Rs 10.00 to Rs 11.00 crore September 5 Baaghi 4 Rs 8.00 crore September 19 Jolly LLB 3 Rs 20.00 to Rs 22.00 crore December 5 The RajaSaab Rs 10.00 crore to Rs 12.00 crore December 5 Dhurandhar Rs 21.50 crore to Rs 22.50 crore Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such stories.

Kiara Advani's War 2 Bikini Transformation: 3 Months of Discipline, Pancakes And Sattu Chaas
Last Updated: Kiara Advani War 2 Body Transformation: From protein-packed pancakes to no-phone nights, Kiara Advani's War 2 look is the result of relentless discipline and smart nutrition. Kiara Advani has long been recognised as one of Bollywood's fittest stars, but her debut appearance in War 2 has left fans in awe. And it wasn't merely her genetics that contributed to this transformation it was the outcome of months of disciplined training and preparation. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, her nutritionist and integrative health coach, Nicole Linhares Kedia, revealed insights into Kiara's fitness and dietary regimen. Kiara Advani's Diet for Her Bikini Look in War 2 Although Kiara has always maintained a toned physique, she has never appeared more sculpted than in her role for War 2. Starring opposite Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, she was determined to deliver her peak physical form for the character. Nicole detailed a three-month transformation programme that brought her vision to life. Her day invariably began with protein pancakes — a non-negotiable in her meal plan — made from oat flour, walnut flour, protein powder, water, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Occasionally, monk fruit served as a natural sweetener. The pancakes were topped with her favourites, fresh berries and homemade hazelnut butter. Nicole explained that Kiara adhered to a clean-eating approach, with carefully curated meals designed to sustain her energy throughout the day. Portion control was key, alongside optimal hydration. 'It was a non-negotiable that she had to have 3 and a half litres of water," Nicole said. Lunches and dinners often featured grilled chicken, flavourful chicken curries, asparagus, baby potatoes, avocado, and vegetable crudités served with edamame pesto hummus. 'We kept the meals light yet protein-rich, carefully aligned with her training demands and shoot schedule," the nutritionist added. Her preferred snack or post-workout replenishment was sattu chaas, a traditional Indian drink rich in protein and deeply hydrating. Nicole described it as ideal for recovery after strenuous workouts or extended outdoor filming. 'The focus was always on fueling her with familiar, wholesome foods that supported her goals while keeping things realistic and sustainable." Kiara Advani's Indulgences When asked whether Kiara allowed herself cheat meals during the shoot preparations, Nicole replied, 'Kiara stayed locked in on her goal, fully committed and consistent — no cutting corners, no complaining. Still, we built in a few simple comforts now and then, including a touch of Parmesan on her zoodles (zucchini noodles) or salad, or a square of dark chocolate after dinner." These occasional, thoughtful indulgences helped her maintain momentum. 'It helped her stay on track without feeling deprived. It's not about being extreme, it's about creating something that lasts." The Role of Sleep Nicole's team even liaised with chefs at hotels where Kiara stayed to ensure her meals were precisely executed. Alongside nutrition, sleep was a priority. 'Kiara Advani had to put aside her phone post 9:30 pm and fall asleep while reading a book and listening to a podcast," Nicole explained. The goal was to maintain a consistent eight-hour sleep cycle during filming. Her Training Regimen Nicole coordinated closely with Kiara's trainer to tailor her meals to her daily workouts. She focused more on upper body isolation exercises than lower body sessions, with steady-state cardio also being a regular feature. Steady-state cardio performed at a moderate, sustained pace for 20–60 minutes was key for fat burning. 'This basically puts you into fat burning zone, so you have to do it for 45 minutes to an hour, and it was a part of Kiara's routine," Nicole elaborated. Unwavering Dedication Despite the demands of long shoots, intense action sequences, and constant travel, Kiara stayed committed to her goals. 'What stood out through it all was her consistency. We had our tough days. There were low moods, fatigue, even a few heated arguments but they always came from a place of ambition. We both wanted the same thing. And we were in it together," Nicole shared. With relentless discipline and focus, Kiara's efforts paid off, setting social media alight with her stunning transformation in War 2. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
