War 2 box office collection day 9: Ayan Mukerji’s YRF spy film War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, was released in theatres on 14 August in a clash with Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie. The action thriller officially crossed the ₹200 crore mark at the Indian box office a day prior.

On its second Friday (Day 9), the film added an estimated ₹4 crore across Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu versions, taking its India net total to ₹208.25 crore, according to Sacnilk.

War 2 performance in 9 days

The film had a strong opening, collecting ₹52 crore on Day 1, driven largely by its Telugu version ( ₹22 crore), while the Hindi version earned ₹29 crore. The first week ended for the film at a subpar ₹204.25 crore. However, the momentum was lost after the opening weekend. War 2 has earned ₹150.4 crore in Hindi, ₹52.2 crore in Telugu, and ₹1.65 crore in Tamil so far.

About War 2

The film has received mixed reviews. An excerpt from Hindustan Times review read, “It is another recycled story from Shridhar Raghavan, who has already penned Pathaan, War and Tiger 3 for YRF. Kiara’s character vanishes from the narrative midway through the first half, but you are too busy trying to make sense of what is going on to notice. The constant mishmash of action and chase sequences wears you out, and every entry of Hrithik and NTR is in slow motion, almost instructing their fans, ‘Here is your hero, clap.'”

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is part of YRF’s Spy Universe, following the events of Pathaan and the Tiger series. The film stars Hrithik Roshan as Kabir, alongside N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Kiara Advani. With a post-credit tease for the upcoming spy film Alpha, the YRF universe is poised for further expansion.
