War 2 Box Office Day 2: Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR Film Crosses Rs 100 Crore Mark
Last Updated: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 crosses Rs 100 crore in two days, beating Rajinikanth's Coolie on day 2 with Rs 55.79 crore earnings. War 2 Box Office Day 2: After a decent start on day 1, Ayan Mukerji's War 2 showed solid growth on its second day at the box office, benefiting from the Independence Day holiday. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the big-budget action entertainer added Rs 55.79 crore on Friday, August 15, taking its India net total to Rs 107.29 crore in just two days. The film's recovery has silenced early doubts after trade analysts criticized its 'subpar" opening of Rs 52.25 crore. With strong audience pull, War 2 now finds itself competing head-to-head with Rajinikanth's Coolie, which stands at Rs 109.8 crore after two days. War 2 Box Office Collection Day 2 On its first day, War 2 collected Rs 29 crore in Hindi and Rs 23.25 crore in Telugu, totaling Rs 52.25 crore. While this would normally be celebrated, expectations were sky-high considering the star power of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Many felt the film should have touched Rs 75 crore or even Rs 100 crore on opening day, surpassing the Rs 53 crore debut of War (2019). However, War 2 managed an impressive rebound on day 2, adding Rs 55.79 crore. Crucially, it outperformed Coolie on the same day, which earned Rs 44.8 crore. This shift places War 2 firmly back in the race and makes the coming weekend crucial for both blockbusters. About War 2 and the YRF Spy Universe Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is a pivotal entry in Yash Raj Films' expanding Spy Universe, which already includes Tiger films and Pathaan. The post-credits sequence teases the introduction of Bobby Deol in Alpha, the next chapter of the franchise starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Apart from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, War 2 features Kiara Advani and Ashutosh Rana in key roles. With a reported budget of over Rs 300 crore, the film will need sustained collections to secure box office success. Despite mixed reviews, the star power of its lead actors and Spyverse branding are driving audiences to theatres. If War 2 maintains momentum over the weekend, it could emerge as one of the biggest films of the year. view comments First Published: August 16, 2025, 05:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'War 2' box office collection day 2: The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR starrer crosses Rs 100 crore, sees growth on Independence day, while Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' sees a drop
Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR , Kiara Advani starrer 'WAR 2' released in theatres on August 14. The film directed by Ayan Mukerji had a good opening on day 1 and that largely also came from the Telugu version of the movie. Clearly, with Jr NTR's presence, the film had a huge market among the Telugu audience, just as much as it had in Hindi. The film has got mixed reviews after day 1, and yet, it saw growth on Independence day . The Hindi version of the movie had made only Rs 29 crore on day 1 while the total collection including the Telugu version was Rs 51.5 crore on the opening day. After starting on a modest note with an opening day haul of roughly ₹29 crore net, War 2 had remarkable recovery in its Hindi version. The film saw a sharp 50% jump in earnings on day two, thanks largely to the Independence Day holiday boost. The film is estimated to have collected ₹43–45 crore net in Hindi on Thursday, taking its two-day Hindi total to around ₹73 crore net. Despite lukewarm critical reviews and a mixed response from audiences online, the film's second-day performance has been impressive. According to Sacnilk, the day 2 collection of the film which saw growth due to Independence day, is Rs 56.50 crore. Thus, it has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark within two days in all languages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The total collection at the domestic box office now stands at Rs 56.50 crore. Trade sources believe there may not be a massive surge over the weekend, but 'if the movie manages to hold collection in the same range with marginal growth, it will give it a chance to perform during the weekdays, which needs to be seen.' The spike was fueled by stronger occupancies in key metros and robust evening-to-night show numbers. The holiday effect in certain territories, coupled with steady single-screen turnout in mass markets, also played a big role in the Hindi version's rebound. On the flip side, collections for the Telugu versions dipped on Thursday. Thus, there's been a 10 percent rise from the opening day — suggesting that the film's non-Hindi performance will require close tracking in the days ahead. However, 'WAR 2' has made more numbers on the second day than Rajinikanth 's 'Coolie'. The film had collected Rs 65 crore on day 1 in all langauges and on day 2, the collection as per early estimates is Rs 53.5 crore. Day wise collection of the film: Day 1 [1st Thursday] ₹ 51.5 Cr [Hi: 29 Cr ; Ta: 0.25; Te: 22.25] - Day 2 [1st Friday] ₹ 56.50 Cr * early estimates - Total ₹ 108.00 Cr "Get the latest news updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
