The highly anticipated action extravaganza War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, caused fireworks at the box office on its first weekend. With houses full in major cities and excellent advance bookings, the movie reached the ₹300-crore mark in no time. But by the eighth day, the pace had slowed down with worldwide collections standing at about ₹314 crore.
Domestic vs Overseas Performance
In India, the film has collected nearly ₹204 crore till now. Even though this amount is impressive, trade analysts point out that weekdays’ footfall has come down marginally in comparison to the festive weekend opening. Overseas collections, which had been given a big boost in the initial couple of days, are also cooling off. Together, the numbers point out that though War 2 is still among the year’s highest earners, it hasn’t sustained the same frenetic streak as its opening week.
Still to Surpass Adipurush
One of the important markers the film has yet to surpass is the tally of Adipurush. Even despite negative reviews, the Prabhas-starrer mythological drama fetched a humongous worldwide amount, and War 2 has not yet surpassed it. Experts feel the coming weekend will be important in determining if Hrithik–NTR’s film becomes able to move past it or remains just short.
Audience Reactions and Trends
Audiences appreciated the film’s high-octane action sequences, especially the face-offs between the two stars. Fans are sharing fan edits and clips on social media, keeping the momentum going. But other critics feel that the plot looks predictable, which could be working against the collections slowing down after the initial rush.
What Lies Ahead
With no significant big-ticket release in the next week, War 2 continues to have space to put more numbers on its board. If it picks up well during the second weekend, it could creep closer towards getting into the ₹400-crore club. Until that happens, however, the film stands at ₹314 crore worldwide, an amount that is impressive as well as under the microscope, with people’s hopes having run incredibly high.
