War 2 Box Office Collection Day 1 Prediction

In an exclusive conversation with Filmibeat, film business expert Rohit Jaiswal stated that initial expectations for War 2 opening day collection were Rs 70 crores. However, given the advance booking response, War 2's collection in Hindi is expected to be around Rs 35 crores. He emphasised that War 2's collection is a little disappointing as it is considerably low that War (Rs 51.60 in Hindi belt). Furthermore, Rohit emphasised that War 2 is likely to do an impressive business in Telugu belt. It is evident that the overall collection of War 2 might touch Rs 40 in all languages combined

War 2 To Record Highest Opening Of 2025

Interestingly, the prediction turned out to be true, War 2 will beat Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava's opening day collection of Rs 31 crores. As a result, it will emerge as the highest opener of 2025 in the Hindi belt.

Meanwhile, talking about his Bollywood debut, Jr NTR, in a report published in Hindustan Times emphasised, "This is not a movie, as everybody is saying, of NTR going into Hindi cinema. But this is equally Hrithik sir coming into Telugu cinema". He expressed gratitude towards Hrithik Roshan for joining the project and assured that Telugu fans would warmly welcome him. Jr NTR's comments reflect a sense of mutual respect and admiration between the two actors, bridging the gap between different film industries in India.
