War 2 Box Office Day 2: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR Starrer Crosses ₹100 Crore, Competes with Rajinikanth’s Coolie

War 2 Box Office Day 2 Collection: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s Big-Budget Spy Thriller Crosses ₹100 Crore Mark and Challenges Coolie

After weeks of anticipation, Ayan Mukerji’s War 2 is living up to its blockbuster expectations at the box office. The high-octane action thriller starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR has crossed the ₹100 crore milestone within just two days of release. According to reports, the film earned ₹55.79 crore on its second day, benefitting immensely from the Independence Day holiday. This takes its total India net collection to ₹107.29 crore, marking a strong turnaround after what some analysts considered a “subpar” opening. The latest War 2 Box Office Day 2 numbers firmly establish the film as one of the hottest contenders in the current Bollywood vs South Indian cinema clash.

On opening day, War 2 collected ₹29 crore from its Hindi version and ₹23.25 crore from its Telugu release, totaling ₹52.25 crore. While these figures are impressive by most standards, the expectations were enormous given the star power of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Trade pundits had predicted a bigger start, hoping it would surpass the ₹53 crore opening of its predecessor, War (2019). Many even speculated that the film could touch the ₹75-100 crore mark on day one itself. The slightly lower-than-expected start gave critics reason to doubt whether the film could maintain momentum.

However, War 2 Box Office Day 2 collections have put those doubts to rest. With ₹55.79 crore added on its second day, the film has staged a remarkable rebound. Interestingly, it even managed to outperform Rajinikanth’s Coolie on the same day, which earned ₹44.8 crore. This direct clash between two massive entertainers has made the Independence Day weekend even more exciting for cine-goers. At the end of two days, Coolie stands at ₹109.8 crore, just a step ahead of War 2. The competition between these two giants is expected to intensify as the weekend unfolds.

The success of War 2 is not just about box office numbers; it also plays a crucial role in the larger cinematic landscape. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is the latest addition to Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, which already boasts hits like Tiger Zinda Hai and Pathaan. The franchise is expanding ambitiously, and War 2 is positioned as a game-changer. The post-credit sequence has already teased audiences with a glimpse of Bobby Deol in Alpha, the next chapter of the Spyverse, which will also feature Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. This interconnected storytelling is helping YRF build a Marvel-style cinematic universe in Indian cinema, and War 2’s success is vital to sustaining this vision.

The film itself is packed with star power. Hrithik Roshan reprises his role with charisma and action-packed flair, while Jr NTR brings fresh energy and mass appeal, especially from South India. Kiara Advani and Ashutosh Rana add further weight to the cast, ensuring that War 2 appeals to a pan-India audience. With a reported budget exceeding ₹300 crore, the film has a lot riding on its shoulders. Sustained collections over the coming weeks will be essential to ensure profitability and secure its place as one of the year’s biggest hits.

While reviews have been mixed, audiences appear undeterred. For many, the combination of Hrithik Roshan’s stylish screen presence, Jr NTR’s powerful performance, and Ayan Mukerji’s grand vision is enough reason to head to theatres. Moreover, the festive weekend and the strong branding of the Spyverse are driving footfalls across the country. If War 2 continues its current pace, it could easily enter the ₹300 crore club domestically and challenge records set by earlier Spyverse films.

As the weekend progresses, all eyes are on the face-off between War 2 and Coolie. With both films enjoying tremendous hype and massive star appeal, the box office battle is set to break records. But for now, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s action spectacle has made a thunderous comeback, silencing critics and thrilling fans. War 2 Box Office Day 2 is not just a number—it is proof of how star power, timing, and cinematic spectacle can turn the tide at the box office.
