Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer War 2, the latest addition in the YRF Spy Universe, is going through a downward spiral at the box office. The film has managed to rake in only Rs 5.5 crore across languages on Day 7 of its release according to Sacnilk.com. This brings the film’s total collection to Rs 199 crore.
The Ayan Mukerji directorial peaked on the second day of its release, on Independence Day Friday, when it made Rs 57.85 crore at the box office. The actioner, however, failed the Monday test as its collections sharply dropped from Rs 32.65 crore on Sunday to Rs 8.75 crore the next day.
The film’s overall Hindi occupancy on Day 7 stood at 10.21 per cent, with regional markets delivering mixed results.
Among major cities, Chennai posted the highest occupancy at 20 per cent, with a particularly strong showing during the evening shows (26 per cent). Bengaluru (15.67 per cent) and Jaipur (15.33 per cent) also performed fairly well, driven by interest during afternoon and evening slots. Kolkata followed with 13 per cent overall occupancy, seeing an evening spike at 20 per cent.
Meanwhile, key metro cities like Mumbai (9.67 per cent), NCR (9 per cent), and Pune (9 per cent) reported modest attendance across most showtimes. Hyderabad and Lucknow hovered around the 11 per cent mark, while Surat (3 per cent), Chandigarh (6 per cent), and Bhopal (6.33 per cent) registered lower-than-average engagement. Notably, night show data remained negligible or unreported in most regions.
The film fared better in the South Indian markets. On Wednesday, the Tamil version saw an overall occupancy of 16.74 per cent, while Telugu version recorded 15.19 per cent occupancy. Both regions showed decent weekday traction, contributing steadily to the overall box office tally.
War 2 is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, which started with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012. Other films in the franchise are Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), Pathaan (2023) and Tiger 3 (2023).
