‘War 2’ Box Office collection day 21: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani’s film STRUGGLES to cross Rs 250 crore mark after three weeks

Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani’s action drama ‘War 2’ hit cinemas on August 14. The film clashed with Rajinikanth’s much-awaited ‘Coolie’, which made the competition even more intense at the box office. The film opened with a bang and looked like a sure-shot blockbuster in its first week. But as the days passed, the momentum slowed down, and by the third week, the film’s collections had dropped sharply.

‘War 2’ Box Office collection day 21

‘War 2’ collected around Rs 40 lakh net in India on day 21 across all languages, as per early Sacnilk estimates, taking its total to Rs 235.85 crore. On Wednesday, 3 September 2025, the film managed only 7.56% overall Hindi occupancy, showing a clear downward trend.

Third week sees a drop at the box office

The third week made things harder for ‘War 2’. Thursday brought Rs 1.5 crore and Friday dropped further to Rs 65 lakh. A slight relief came over the weekend, as Saturday picked up with Rs 1.15 crore and Sunday climbed higher to Rs 1.45 crore, showing a 26.09% rise.

But the weekdays pulled the film back down. Monday gave only Rs 40 lakh and Tuesday Rs 55 lakh.

'Param Sundari' release adds to film’s troubles

Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic comedy ‘Param Sundari’, released on 29 August, has turned into an unexpected hurdle for ‘War 2’. The rom-com performed strongly, collecting Rs 37.10 crore in its first six days. The fresh release caught the audience’s eye and appears to have diverted attention from ‘War 2’, which was already struggling to keep its pace. The timing of ‘Param Sundari’ hit the action film’s collections hard.

‘War 2’ struggles to touch Rs 250 crore mark in India

In comparison, Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ stayed firm at the box office. On day 21, it collected around Rs 1 crore in India, pushing its total to Rs 282.45 crore. Meanwhile, ‘War 2’ has been stuck at Rs 235.85 crore and is finding it difficult to reach the Rs 250 crore milestone. With the current pace, it looks almost impossible for the film to cross that line. While it may continue to earn a little in the coming days, it seems likely that the film will end its theatrical run below the Rs 250 crore mark.
