'War 2' box office collection day 1: The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR crosses humungous Rs 50 crore on opening day a but Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' dominates with Rs 65 crore in India

'War 2' has finally released in theatres and the film has got mixed reviews by the audience so far but it is off to a great start. The film is facing a huge competition from Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' which has also released today and this is one of the biggest clashes of movies. 'War 2' starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani has released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. While the pre-release ticket sales was not as high, just as the Telugu markets opened, the numbers from the advance bookings grew due to Jr NTR's presence as he's a huge star there. Thus, the film may be expected to do well in Telugu and Hindi both. It had collected Rs 16 crore gross already from the advance bookings.

As of now, as far as the net collections are concerned. Till afternoon, 'War 2', has started off on a great note. As the collection so far is Rs 52.5 crore, according to Sacnilk. Of this, the collection from the Hindi version is Rs 29 crore while the Telugu version has made 23 crore. Of course, in the Tamil states, 'Coolie' has dominated more as 'War 2' only made Rs 25 lakhs from the Tamil version. Meanwhile, 'Coolie' starring Rajikinanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan has made Rs 65 crore up till the same time. Thus, now clearly by the end of the day, 'Coolie' will cross the Rs 50 crore mark on opening day in India which is huge. The film has already crossed Rs 100 crore gross worldwide.

According to Box Office India, Trade analysts caution, that these numbers of 'War 2' don’t yet point to an “huge blockbuster type of weekend”, the kind the industry hopes for with such big-budget spectacles.


'War 2' may look underwhelming when compared to some past juggernauts, but the ratio of advance sales to first-day collections has changed in recent years, making direct parallels tricky. Some previous “big ones,” as the trade hints, even had “advances which were tampered putting it in a nice way.” By contrast, War 2’s advance numbers are twice that of recent big titles like 'Raid 2' and 'Housefull 5'. Eventually, it's the reviews and now the footfalls during the weekend which will eventually determine the film's fate. But at the moment it looks like, 'Coolie' is definitely on the upper side in terms of the numbers.
