War 2 Box Office Collection — War 2, the high-octane spy thriller starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has rallied in its second weekend, edging past the ₹218 crore mark in India by its 11th day of release.
Weekend Surge Revives Momentum
After a sluggish early run with significant drops post-launch, the film experienced a notable rebound on its second Saturday—posting a 55% increase in box office collections, earning around ₹6.2 crore net in India, with ₹5.35 crore coming from Hindi screenings while the remainder came from Tamil and Telugu versions. On its 11th day (Sunday), War 2 pulled in approximately ₹4 crore net across all languages, once again showing a mild revival.
Crossing ₹218 Crore – A New Benchmark
These weekend gains have propelled the domestic total over ₹218 crore net as of Day 11. Earlier figures had indicated ₹214.5 crore by Day 10, confirming that the film has comfortably cleared the ₹218 crore threshold.
How It Stacks Up in the Spy Universe
The resurgence is especially meaningful considering War 2 had risked becoming the lowest-grossing installment in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe. With this latest uptick, it has now surpassed Ek Tha Tiger’s gross, shedding the unwanted tag. The film’s cumulative worldwide gross is estimated to be in the ₹330 crore range.
