War 2, starring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani, has set the box office ablaze on its opening day, crossing the ₹50 crore mark in India. Released on Thursday, the high-octane action thriller marks Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut and is already being hailed as one of the biggest openers of 2025.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, War 2 earned ₹51.5 crore nett across India on Day 1. The Hindi version contributed the lion’s share with ₹29 crore, followed by ₹22.25 crore from the Telugu version and ₹0.25 crore from the Tamil version.
A Power-Packed Sequel in the YRF Spy Universe
Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, War 2 continues the adrenaline-pumping saga of the YRF Spy Universe.
Hrithik Roshan returns as Kabir, the elite RAW agent, this time squaring off against Vikram, a formidable operative played by Jr NTR. Their cat-and-mouse chase spans across international locations, promising edge-of-the-seat action sequences and breathtaking stunts.
The film also stars Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor, adding depth and intensity to the star-studded ensemble.
A Legacy of Box Office Dominance
The first War (2019), directed by Siddharth Anand and co-starring Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor, was a historic success, grossing ₹471 crore worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019.
With its record-breaking start, War 2 is poised to follow — or even surpass — that legacy, cementing its place as one of the year’s biggest blockbusters.
War 2 is now running in theatres worldwide. With its stellar cast, jaw-dropping action, and mass appeal, the film is expected to maintain strong momentum in the days ahead.
