Hrithik Roshan & Jr. NTR's War 2 Shows a Decent Jump on Day 2, But Still Trails Behind Predecessor –

War 2 Second Day box office:

War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, has shown some improvement in collections on its second day, but the overall numbers remain below expectations for a film of its scale. After opening to ₹28 crore on Day 1—significantly lower than the ₹50 crore debut of War (2019)—the film has managed to register a decent jump on Day 2. Early estimates suggest collections in the range of ₹40–42 crore, taking the two-day total to approximately ₹68–70 crore.

While these figures might seem respectable in isolation, they are underwhelming considering the film’s massive ₹400 crore budget and the anticipation surrounding the sequel. The gap becomes even more evident when compared to the first installment, which not only had a bigger opening but also maintained stronger momentum in its initial days.

With the weekend still ahead, War 2 is now aiming for a ₹100 crore+ weekend in the Hindi market. However, given the current trajectory, surpassing the lifetime collection of War appears unlikely unless there’s a significant surge in footfalls over the coming days.

While the star power of Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR has driven decent interest, mixed audience reception and high expectations have led to some disappointment. The film’s performance in the crucial Monday test will determine whether it can sustain in the long run or see a sharp decline. For now, War 2 remains a moderate performer rather than the box office juggernaut many expected it to be. Let's see how far it goes.
