War 2 box office Day 2: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s action-thriller War 2 has earned Rs 56.60 crore in all languages on Day 2, as per Sacnilk. The film saw a short surge in collections on Day 2 on the occasion of Independence Day.
It opened at the box office on Day 1 at Rs 51.5 crore, collecting Rs 29 crore in Hindi and Rs 22.25 crore in Telugu along with a miniscule Rs 25 lakh in Tamil. The film saw an overall occupancy of 51.52% on Day 2 in Hindi language, with afternoon shows amounting to 58.71%, evening shows getting 63.86 % and night shows amassing 56.36%.
Hyderabad recorded an occupancy of 80% with 275 Hindi shows while Mumbai had 45% with 1144 shows. There were 444 Telugu shows in Hyderabad with an occupancy of 73.50%.
War 2 is facing tough competition from Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which released on the same day and has raked in Rs 118 crore in two days.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the latest entry in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe and also stars Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles.
CE’s review of the film reads, “War 2 is an unnecessary addition to an already bloated YRF Spy Universe. It is a factory-line product, assembled purely to cash-in on an established franchise. You take a good-looking Bollywood star, add a South Indian superstar to make things ‘Pan-Indian’, mix it with multiple foreign locations and action sequences in a car, atop a train and even a plane and finally garnish it with a glamorous actress and voila! Blockbuster is ready. Only that it is bland, because neither food nor film can yield an experience by mere compilation.”
