‘War 2’ box office collection day 3

'War 2' box office collection day 3: The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani starrer crosses the Rs 140 crore mark despite a MAJOR drop, while Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ enjoys the reign on Saturday

Packed with high-octane action sequences, one of the much-awaited spy thrillers, ‘War 2’ made it to the theatres on Friday, August 14, 2025. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani in the lead, clashed at the box office with Thaliavar Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie,’ which, needless to say, was one of 2025’s biggest big screen clashes. The film made an impressive opening and kept the cash registers ringing even on day 2, surpassing the ‘Coolie’; however, on day 3, i.e., on Saturday, the film witnessed a significant drop in collections and was beaten by the Rajini starrer.

‘War 2’ box office collection day 3 update

According to Sacnilk, the movie opened with an impressive number of Rs 52 Cr across all languages. In this, it made Rs 29 Cr in Hindi, Rs 0.25 Cr in Tamil, and Rs 22.75 Cr in Telugu. Thereafter, on Independence Day, the movie witnessed a growth of around 10 percent, and the business went up to Rs 57.35 Cr, in which the collection from Hindi was Rs 44.5 Cr, Tamil Rs 0.35 Cr, and Telugu Rs 12.5 Cr. However, on Saturday, the movies couldn’t enjoy the weekend and festive surge of Janmashtami, as the collection went down to Rs. 33 Cr (early estimates) across all languages in India. With this, the total collection of ‘War 2’ after 3 days stands at Rs. 142.35 Cr. At this pace, the movie is expected to cross Rs. 150 cr with ease and create a new record.

Competition from Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’

Thalaviar’s action drama surpassed the collection of ‘War 2’ on day 1, as it made Rs. 65 Cr on its opening Friday. The collection came from Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada versions of the movies. However, on day 2, it was outperformed by the Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR starrer and made Rs. 54.75 CR. On Saturday, just like ‘War 2’, the movie witnessed a major drop, yet it collected Rs. 38.50 Cr, and took the lead in the box office race. As of now, the movie has made Rs. 158.25 Cr in the domestic market.

‘War 2’ Review

With a rating of 3 stars from TOI critics, excerpts from our review of the movie read – “Hrithik Roshan brings gravitas to the screen as the roguish yet poised Kabir. He impresses as a high-octane action hero and in the film’s emotional moments. Junior NTR matches his energy and intensity, holding his own as a performer and in executing the action sequences. Kiara Advani makes her presence felt despite limited screen time, though the use of stunt doubles in an early fight scene is noticeable. Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor are impactful in their roles.War 2 offers high-octane moments, striking visuals, and polished production to make for a passable big-screen experience. Strictly watchable only if you’re in it purely for the action and spectacle.”
