At the Indian box office, Avatar The Way of Water released to an outstanding response. The movie released to raving reviews and has since garnered praise for both its outstanding visual effects and storyline. The sci-fi drama Avatar by James Cameron set box office records in South India. Avatar 2 reportedly made a staggering Rs 3,500 crore worldwide in just three days, according to trade figures. The movie also earned more collections than Doctor Strange did in India. Although the movie easily defeated Avengers Endgame in the southern circuits, it opened behind the 2019 blockbuster in India.

The Indian box office for Avatar: The Way of Water has gotten off to an explosive start. Box Office India reports that the movie has performed admirably in Hindi circuits. Avatar - The Way Of Water might have outperformed Avatar in north and eastern circuits like CI, Bihar, and Assam (2009). Avatar 2 earned Rs 160 crore in India by the conclusion of the first weekend. 

Avatar makers shared, “December mei Diwali. You heard that right. Celebrations at the box office as James Cameron’s Avatar The Way of the Water has a mammoth opening weekend worldwide collections of Ts 3,500 cr! In India, the movie collected Rs 160 cr GBOC in 3 days.”

In India, where it opened to a hefty Rs 160 crore, the movie is performing fairly well. Avatar The Way of Water's producers reported that during the first weekend in India, the movie grossed Rs 160 crore. Given the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, it was anticipated that the third day of the weekend would have a reduced attendance, but the movie held its own. 

As the first movie to premiere with such an astounding number in the post-pandemic era, Avatar has outperformed all other Bollywood releases from this year as well as previous Hollywood blockbusters. Bollywood blockbusters like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Drishyam 2 were unable to reach these levels of popularity.

About Avatar The Way Of Water, the paraplegic marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) from the film "Avatar" helped the Na'vi, a race of intelligent, blue-skinned, 10-foot-tall humanoids, in their struggle for existence. Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, and Zoe Saldana all starred in the movie.

The sequel, which follows the tale of "the Sully family," takes place more than ten years after the events of the first film (Jake, Neytiri and their kids). Sully, played by Worthington, and Neytiri, played by Saldana, will do all in their power to keep their family together in the new movie Avatar: The Way of Water, which was released in theatres on Friday. When unanticipated circumstances force the Sullys to leave their home, they journey through Pandora's immense expanses before escaping to a region controlled by the Metkayina clan, who coexist peacefully with the surrounding oceans. Along with Kate Winslet and Cliff Curtis, the film also stars Lang, Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, and Dileep Rao.
