NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 was released in theaters amidst big expectations on its box office performance. The film received mixed WOM/reviews, which was reflected in its first-day collections. Coming to Day 2, War 2 performs well in Hindi but goes down in Telugu.
The Hindi version of War’s sequel opened with 28 Cr net in India, and it showed a good jump over day 1 with the help of the Independence holiday advantage. The jump is said to be around 50%, with the estimates being around 41 Cr net in India.
War 2 Shows Good Growth In Hindi On Day 2
Still, the movie is trending below the initial expectations, as everyone expected that the opening day of War 2 would be 50 Cr+, and the 2nd day was expected to collect the biggest figure ever for Bollywood.
However, the weak pre-release buzz and unfavorable reviews resulted in numbers that are not on the expected levels. Having said that, a 50% jump in numbers will provide some relief for the team.
War 2’s Telugu Version Slows Down: The Hindi Version Needs To Show Good Hold Over The Weekend
Coming to the Telugu version, the spy action drama’s Day 2 collections will be lesser than the opening day. On the opening day, the film benefitted from special shows in Andhra Pradesh with flat 500 ticket prices, which played a major role in the opening numbers, and hires were also an added advantage.
But on day 2, there are only regular shows, and the occupancies are also a bit low compared to day 1. The Telugu version’s Day 2 gross is expected to be close to 15 Cr.
So, ultimately, War 2’s collections are good in Hindi on day 2, but the Telugu version is not up to the mark. The total India gross for the second day is similar to the opening day, i.e., in the 62 Cr range. Overall, the film’s two-day all-India gross will be 125 Cr, with the worldwide gross being more than 155 Cr.
