‘War 2’ box office collection day 6: The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR starrer starts Tuesday on a slow note after crossing Rs 180 crore

'War 2' released in theatres on August 14, a day before Independence day and clashed at the box office with 'Coolie'. While it's one of the biggest clashes of movies, it's also a long three-day weekend which may end up in the favour of both the movies. While on the first day, 'War 2' was behind 'Coolie' as both the movies made Rs 51.5 crore and Rs 65 crore respectively. However, even after making decent numbers over the weekend, ‘WAR 2’ saw a big drop on Monday, which is day 5.

War 2 Movie Review

On Saturday, the film made Rs 33 crore of which the Hindi version made Rs 26 crore. There was a huge drop in the collections of the Telugu version of the film. While the Telugu version made Rs 22.75 crore on Day 1, the number dropped to Rs 12.5 crore on Day 2 and more down to 50 percent of that on day 3. On Sunday, the total collection of 'War 2' in all languages was Rs 31.3 crore which was a drop from the Saturday numbers. And now on Monday, of course, it is expected that the film will be recording lower numbers when compared to the weekend. It has started on a slow note on day 5, Monday and has made Rs 8.50 crore as a total in all languages. On Tuesday as well, it started on a slow note and made Rs 5.93 crore till evening. The total collection now, according to Sacnilk, is Rs 189.43 crore.



Thus, this is a huge drop and eventually may lead to the film having a dull number overall and may be counted as a failure as it is mounted on a huge budget. The Hindi version of the film specially if seen separately is considered dull. According to box office India, the film failed mainly because of its poor opening. Big-budget films like this can't afford to start with just average collections. Whether the movie is good or not comes later — the first day matters most. When a film is made on such a large scale, it needs a strong opening so that even if things go wrong later, it still ends up with decent numbers, like ‘Tiger 3’ did. But in this case, the opening day figures just didn’t give it that chance.


The drop is big, but part of it could be due to overall low business on Monday. Even a well-received film like ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ saw a similar fall from its Sunday numbers, just like War 2. Monday’s figures make it seem like War 2 might crash out soon, but that may not happen, since most films took a hit that day. It might just drag on slowly without making much progress until new releases take over.
