Box Office Trends: Hrithik Roshan and NTR starrer War 2 headed for a Rs 27 crore start in Hindi
The Hrithik Roshan and NTR-led War 2 has opened below expectations in Hindi as the very early trends are indicating first-day business in the range of Rs 26.00 crore to Rs 28.00 crore. The opening has come below expectations, and the hope is on the film to make use of the extended holiday period over the next 3-days to hit a respectable number through the extended weekend. As off 5.30 PM, the Ayan Mukerji directorial has collected Rs 9.75 crore in the national chains including advances for the remaining shows, and is looking for a total closing at Rs 12.75 crore to Rs 13.25 crore. The national chain contribution for War 2 will be around 45 percent to 50 percent, which puts the first day business projection in the above range. The collections were not up-to the mark in the mass belts too, and the eyes are now on the business of War 2 on Independence Day. The early reports from the audience are not in the film's favour, but we will get the real idea of word of mouth based on the theatrical trend in the coming days. War 2 should have definitely taken a bigger start in Hindi, but it's probably the case of assets – teaser, trailer, and music - not landing as well in the cinema-going audience. On the plus, War 2 is flirting to be the number one opening, battling Chhaava, and the trend in the evening and night shows will decide the final outcome. In the era where most production houses opt for corporate bookings and self-buyings, YRF has managed to stay out of the rat race even in a scenario like this, and this deserves a special mention, as the easiest thing to do in this scenario is to buy tickets for the sake of perception.

Nobody 2 Movie Twitter Reviews: Here's What Audience Has To Say About Bob Odenkirk Returning to Action Sequel
Nobody 2 is out in theaters, and fans are loving Bob Odenkirk's return to the rough and gritty sequel. Viewers have been eagerly awaiting the film since its announcement, and they are praising Timo Tjahjanto's direction for the plot, performances, and the actor's masterful use of comedic timing. The users have taken to their X accounts to share their views on the newest addition to the action genre. Fans react to Bob Odenkirk's Nobody 2 One of the users took to their X account to praise the brilliant acting of the cast in Nobody 2. They wrote, 'Nobody 2 is far better than its predecessor. Funnier, bloodier, and more creative with the set pieces. It hits similar narrative and thematic beats as the first film, but this time with more confidence and better execution.' Another fan went on to share, 'So I preferred #Nobody2 to the first. I think it's more focused, more fun, and oddly emotional. Odenkirk is still a great Everyman hero, but matches against good baddies and terrific support like Christopher Lloyd.' A netizen also found the film to be entertaining and stated, 'NOBODY 2 is as entertaining as the first & at times even more so. Bob Odenkirk continues to kick realistic ass, while franchise newcomer Sharon Stone provides an upgrade on Nobody's lackluster villain. There's no reason to stop churning these out.' '#Nobody2 is a pleasant surprise, just like the first. It's silly by design while maintaining genuinely fun action. I think these are amongst the best of the Wick-likes,' a fan claimed. What is Nobody 2 about? As for the film, Nobody 2 revolves around an assassin, Hutch Mansell, who, along with his family, heads out for a vacation in a small tourist town. While he is enjoying his time with his wife and kids, things soon go south after he comes across an enraged sheriff and some crime bosses. Apart from Odenkirk, the cast also includes Sharon Stone, Colin Hanks, Connie Nielsen, and Christopher Lloyd, among others. Nobody 2 is running in theaters successfully.
