Ayan Mukerji’s upcoming action-packed film War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is creating huge buzz and might break previous records set by the original War. With sky-high excitement and pre-release interest, especially on platforms like BookMyShow, all eyes are on how it will perform on its opening day.
Back in 2019, War opened to an impressive ₹53.35 crores across all languages, making it one of Bollywood's top 3 openers at the time. However, Jawan currently holds the top spot with ₹75 crores on day one.

Hrithik Roshan is no stranger to massive openings, and with Jr NTR’s recent success in Devara, War 2 is expected to explode at the box office. Early predictions suggest the movie could easily cross the ₹100 crore mark on day 1 in India, possibly making it the biggest Bollywood opening ever. If that happens, War 2 could earn nearly 87% more than its predecessor on opening day, setting a new standard for YRF’s spy universe.
There’s some buzz that the official trailer for War 2 might be delayed by a week. With YRF’s latest release Saiyaara performing exceptionally well, the studio may be spacing out promotions to maintain audience attention. The new trailer release is likely by the end of July.
