War 2 started with a bang at the box office with Rs 23 crore net on day one. The days two and three have seen a downfall in the occupancy owing to a dull word of mouth.

War 2 box office collection day 3
The collections of Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR’s War 2 are being watched closely, especially in the Telugu states, as distributors have paid close to ₹90 crore for the rights. Since Junior NTR is a huge star, War 2 started with a bang in Telugu, making ₹23 crore net on day one of its release.

On day two, as word of mouth was not very strong, the collections dropped to ₹13 crore. As per the latest update, the action drama managed only ₹10 crore net on day three in Telugu as per the tracking website Sachnilk. While the Hindi collections have been decent, the numbers in Telugu are dropping quite drastically.
Fans of NTR are divided; some have liked his performance, while others are unhappy with the way his character was showcased. A major section of the audience felt that Junior NTR was no match for Hrithik Roshan’s aura and personality in the film.
Released alongside Coolie, the box office clash is intense. In terms of occupancy, Coolie is slightly better, but in collections, War 2 has held steady, thanks to Sunday’s advantage. However, once weekdays begin, the dip is expected to be sharper, as seen in current ticket sales trends.
NTR had pinned a lot of hopes on his Hindi debut with Yash Raj Films, a prestigious banner. Doing action alongside Hrithik in a big franchise like War 2 came with huge pressure. Performance-wise, NTR has delivered, but Ayan Mukerji’s narration hasn’t impressed many. The film caters mainly to hardcore action lovers, and only that segment is turning up in theatres.
With weekdays setting in, the Telugu box office fate of War 2 looks uncertain. Distributors are not planning any poster promotions, and NTR himself hasn’t given a single interview apart from his pre-release event speech. Looking at the current trend, the film may end up being a loss venture for Telugu distributors. Stay tuned for more updates.
