War 2 Day 10 Box Office Report: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR Starrer Shows a Mild Saturday Uptick, Crosses Rs 155 Crore Hindi Net
War 2 opened to a below par start and while the Independence Day holiday gave it some much-needed push, the momentum could not sustain. Post the festive boost, the film kept sliding day after day and the trend now makes it clear that this action biggie is heading towards a BIG FLOP.
The Ayan Mukerji directorial, led by Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, witnessed the traditional Saturday push, adding close to Rs 5.15 crore nett in Hindi. While the jump offers some respite, it is far from the numbers expected from a film mounted at this scale.
Hindi Collections Cross Rs 155 Crore
With Saturday contribution, the Hindi version of War 2 now stands at an estimated Rs 155 crore nett after 10 days. If Sunday manages to hold up, the film could wrap its second weekend in the Rs 160–162 crore range. However, a 2nd weekend of under Rs 15 crore nett for a high-octane spectacle of this magnitude is a clear signal that the audience euphoria has fizzled out. Insiders from industry are already pegging its lifetime Hindi total at around Rs 175 crore nett, a figure that is far below expectations for a tentpole release of this size.
Dubbed Versions Add also Very Little
The non-Hindi versions of War 2 have barely managed to make a dent. The combined dubbed collections are hovering around Rs 52 crore nett, and going forward, they might only contribute another Rs 2-4 crore. What makes War 2’s performance more concerning is the fact that even with strong satellite, digital and music rights, the film is heading towards losses. Trade estimates suggest YRF will end up losing between Rs 50-75 crore.
The Day Wise Breakdown Hindi Nett. of War 2 So Far Are As Follows

- Tuesday 7.5 crore
- Wednesday 4.5 crore
- Thursday 3.5 crore
- Friday 3.4 crore

Despite having a dream cast, big ticket action, and the brand pull of YRF’s Spy Universe, War 2 has turned out to be a sobering reminder that star power and scale alone cannot guarantee success. Unless there is an extraordinary turnaround in the weekdays ahead, the film will be remembered as a missed opportunity that never lived up to its hype.
