The much-anticipated action entertainer War 2 is showing no signs of slowing down at the box office. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in powerhouse roles, the film has concluded its extended first weekend on a thunderous note, recording collections that have left trade experts highly impressed.
According to early box office estimates, the film has amassed a massive ₹173.60 crore in just four days since its release. The extended weekend, which included a holiday boost, played a crucial role in pushing the numbers higher, with audiences flocking to theatres in large numbers to witness the clash of two of India’s biggest stars on the big screen.
Industry insiders report that War 2 opened to record-breaking numbers on Day 1, driven by exceptional pre-release buzz and strong advance bookings. The momentum continued across the weekend, with multiplexes in metro cities and single screens in smaller towns both registering houseful shows. The film’s high-octane action, slick production values, and the unique pairing of Hrithik and Jr NTR have been singled out as the major crowd-pullers.
On Day 4, the film sustained strongly, thanks to positive word-of-mouth and repeat viewership. Fans have particularly praised the face-offs between Hrithik and Jr NTR, calling them some of the best action sequences ever attempted in Indian cinema. The combination of scale, adrenaline-pumping stunts, and emotional depth seems to have struck the right chord with audiences across age groups.
Trade experts believe that War 2 has set the stage for an extraordinary run at the box office. With no major competition in theatres immediately, the film is expected to maintain steady momentum through the week, pushing it closer to the ₹200 crore milestone in record time. Many analysts are already predicting that the film could join the elite ₹300 crore club by the end of its second weekend if the trend continues.
The film not only strengthens the YRF Spy Universe but also cements Hrithik Roshan’s status as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars while giving Jr NTR a sensational Hindi film debut. For now, War 2 is basking in its blockbuster success, with its Day 4 figures making it one of the most remarkable opening weekends in recent times.
