War 2 Box Office Collection Day 5 Early Updates: When War 2 dropped on August 14, 2025, expectations were sky-high. With a powerhouse trio-Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani-and as part of the celebrated YRF Spy Universe, the film was expected to set the box office ablaze.
And to its credit, War 2 did open big, pulling in over ₹50 crore on the day of its release.
Despite the strong numbers, the film is now facing growing scrutiny. Critics are calling it a visually grand but emotionally hollow sequel, while audiences seem sharply divided. While War 2 had a strong start, Rajinikanth’s Coolie hit theaters the same day and proved to be a surprise juggernaut.
War 2 Box Office Collection Day 4 (First Weekend)
Soon after the release of Ayan Mukerji-directed War 2, the narrative surrounding the film took a 360-degree turn. War 2, the highly anticipated sequel to 2019’s War, launched into theatres on Thursday (Aug 14) with massive buzz and a blockbuster cast. The YRF spy-thiller delivered box office muscle from Day 1, earning ₹50+ crore across India and cruising past ₹170 crore in just four days. But despite the big numbers, the film seems to be facing an uphill battle to win over audiences, largely due to a split in viewer reactions.
As per Sacnilk, the sequel recorded a 3.31% drop in numbers on Sunday (Aug 17) and netted around Rs 32.15 cr, taking the opening weekend collection to Rs 174.75 cr in 4 days.
