This Independence Eve, the box office turned into a massive showdown as Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2 clashed with Rajinikanth’s Coolie on August 14, 2025. Among the year’s most awaited releases, both films drew huge crowds and raked in impressive numbers, emerging as two of the biggest releases of the year.
However, after a smashing opening weekend, both War 2 and Coolie saw a notable decline in collections as week 1 came to a close.
War 2 Box Office Collection Day 7:
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2 opened to a thunderous response at the box office. On Day 1, the film collected Rs 52 crore, followed by a bigger Day 2 at Rs 57.85 crore, marking an 11.25% growth. However, collections dropped on Day 3 with Rs 33.25 crore, and continued to dip slightly on Day 4 with Rs 32.65 crore, taking the extended weekend total close to Rs 176 crore. The film saw a major fall on Day 5, earning just Rs 8.75 crore (down 73.20%), but picked up marginally on Day 6 with Rs 9 crore.
Early estimates suggest Day 7 collections at around Rs 5.50 crore, bringing the first-week total to approximately Rs 199 crore across all languages (Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu). Despite the weekday drop, War 2 has maintained a strong hold in its opening week and remains one of the biggest box office events of 2025.
