'War 2' box office collection day 4 (Live): The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani starrer crosses the Rs. 150 crore mark, while Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ closes in on the Rs. 170 crore on Sunday

Three powerhouse performers of the Indian entertainment industry joined hands for one of the biggest spy thrillers of 2025 - ‘War 2’. With the star power of Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the vision of director Ayaan Mukherji, and a gripping tale packed with high-octane action sequences, the movie became the talk of the town right from the word go.

Released on August 14, the film did live up to the expectations with an impressive opening.

However, after smashing collection on August 14 and 15, the movie’s business slowed down. Yet, as we speak, the movie has crossed the Rs. 150 crore mark.

Tough competition from Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’

‘War 2’ isn’t the only big release that made it to the theatres this Friday; it clashed with Thalaviar’s action drama ‘Coolie.’ Trade reports show that on the opening day, with the collection of Rs. 65 Cr, ‘Coolie’ outshone ‘War 2,’ but on day 2, the latter had the last laugh. Nevertheless, on Saturday, the tables turned one more time, and despite a drop of around 29 percent, it collected Rs. 38.6 Cr. As we speak, it is still leading the race, with a business of Rs.

9.91 crore on Sunday, day 4, bringing its total to Rs. 168.26 crore.

‘War 2’ Review

“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,” reads an excerpt from TOI’s review of the movie
