The Big Numbers: War 2 Box Office Record
Let’s talk numbers, but in a way everyone gets. On Day 1, War 2 opened strong with about 52.5 crore rupees from ticket sales across India. That means lakhs of people showed up, even on a Thursday!

Some reports even mention that by Friday evening, the movie had already crossed the 100 crore mark. This success is special because the film faced strong competition from Rajinikanth’s Coolie, but War 2 managed to tie up more seats in multiplex theatres across the country.
