War 2 Day 4 Box Office: Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR Starrer Drops on Sunday, 4-Day Total ₹173.6 Cr

 “War 2” Day 4 Box Office Report: After a Strong Start, Sunday Sees a Dip – Total ₹173.6 Crore

Ayan Mukerji’s action-thriller War 2 opened to a thunderous response on Independence Day. Powered by the star appeal of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film posted huge numbers in its first three days. However, by the fourth day—its first Sunday—the momentum slowed, with collections dropping notably.

Four-Day Box Office Breakdown

Day 1 (Aug 14): ₹52 crore

Day 2 (Aug 15): ₹57.35 crore

Day 3 (Aug 16): ₹33.25 crore

Day 4 (Aug 17): ₹31 crore (approx.)

👉 Total (4 days): ₹173.60 crore net India

Hindi version: ~33% average occupancy (weak mornings, stronger evenings).

Tamil version: ~46% average occupancy.

Telugu version: ~32% average occupancy.

The trend shows multiplexes and metros driving collections, while smaller circuits remain less consistent.

The Clash with Coolie

While War 2 touched ₹173.6 crore in four days, Rajinikanth’s Coolie surged ahead, collecting around ₹193.25 crore in the same period. The weekend box office race currently tilts in Coolie’s favor.

A drop on the first Sunday is unusual for a big-ticket entertainer, as weekends typically bring growth. This dip signals that War 2 may have to rely heavily on word-of-mouth to sustain its box office run through the weekdays.

✅ Conclusion

War 2 delivered a strong Independence Day start, amassing ₹173.6 crore in just four days. Yet, the Sunday decline raises questions about its long-term prospects. The coming weekdays will be the real test—can Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s star power hold steady against the competition, or will Coolie continue to dominate the box office battle?
