War 2 box office collection day 2: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer earns Rs 108 crore in two days, trails Coolie by just Rs 1.8 crore

War 2 is off to a flying start at the Indian box office. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and backed by Yash Raj Films, the high-octane action spectacle continues the successful War franchise, bringing together Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan and Telugu powerhouse Jr NTR for the first time.

On its opening day, War 2 minted an impressive Rs 51.5 crore net across India. The breakdown of the day one collection stood at Rs 29 crore from the Hindi version, Rs 22.25 crore from Telugu, and Rs 0.25 crore from Tamil. This strong start firmly established the film as one of the biggest openers of 2025.

The film carried forward its momentum on day 2, benefiting from the Independence Day holiday weekend. Early estimates suggest War 2 earned Rs 56.50 crore net in India on Friday, pushing its total domestic earnings to Rs 108 crore in just two days. The growth from day one indicates solid word-of-mouth, especially in the Hindi and Telugu circuits, where occupancy levels saw a notable uptick.

This achievement makes War 2 one of the fastest films of the year to cross the Rs 100 crore milestone. The clash with Rajinikanth’s Coolie has intensified box office discussions, with both films running neck-and-neck in collections. While Coolie has the edge in Tamil Nadu and overseas markets, War 2 is performing strongly in North India and the Telugu-speaking regions, thanks to Jr NTR’s massive fan base.

Featuring Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, the film introduces Jr NTR as his formidable ally-turned-rival. Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor add depth to the ensemble cast. With slick action sequences, high production values, and Ayan Mukerji’s stylish direction, War 2 has been praised for delivering a pan-India appeal.

As the Independence Day weekend continues, trade experts predict that War 2 could post even higher numbers over Saturday and Sunday, further cementing its place as one of the year’s biggest blockbusters.
