War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, hit theatres on 14 August 2025 as part of the YRF Spy Universe. Mounted on a massive budget and positioned as one of the year’s biggest event films, it was expected to open strong across India.
With a reported budget of ₹400 crore, it is among the most expensive Indian films ever made. Featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR in his Hindi debut, and Kiara Advani, expectations were sky-high, especially after massive pre‑release marketing and earlier blockbusters like War and Pathaan from Spy Universe.
In an epic box office clash, Rajinikanth’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 were released together on August 14. Despite stiff competition, both films had superb openings, leaving the makers hopeful that the Independence Day weekend would provide an extra surge to the films’ collection.

War 2 trending poorly over the weekend. It’s hold in the subsequent days will determine what it can do in its lifetime. A Rs 400 crore worldwide should be a face-saving result, but that won’t be easy if the movie fails to sustain on Monday.
The Road Ahead For War 2
The next couple of days will be critical for War 2. There is still room for the film to stabilise. However, the below par start means it will need a strong hold in collections to meet expectations and sustain beyond the weekend which seems difficult.
