Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s much-awaited War 2 failed to create much buzz before the release. The WOM/reviews opened poorly; with this, the film saw a bad opening and a disastrous weekend.
In the Telugu states, the film has collected around 37 Cr share on its 1st weekend, whereas the breakeven is at 95 Cr, which means it is heading towards becoming an outright disaster. In Hindi also, the film sees a poor opening weekend with a 122 Cr net collection in India.
War 2 Box Office: Disastrous First Weekend
For the movie scale and budget, the initial expectations are more than 225 Cr net for the 1st weekend, but the film collects only half of it. The film had a poor 1st weekend at the overseas box office with close to 6.5 million gross, which is very poor.
Overall the film has collected around 265 Cr gross worldwide on its 1st weekend. Crossing the 350 Cr mark from now on is a tough task for the film, as in Telugu it has almost closed its run, and it can only add some numbers in Hindi.
For the exciting combination of NTR and Hrithik Roshan, War 2 was expected to be a big money spinner, but sadly, it emerged as a disaster in the first weekend itself.
