War 2 box office stalls midweek, still to cross ₹200 crore
War 2 box office slips midweek and has still yet to cross ₹200 crore, sparking questions about its long-term hold despite star power.
Bollywood’s blockbuster War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, continues to dominate conversation after a slower second week at the box office. New figures reveal that momentum has dipped midweek, and the film has yet to cross the coveted ₹200 crore mark in domestic collections.
Trade insiders attribute the plateau to increased weekday attendance drop, a common trend for high-profile films post-opening week. While War 2 continues to benefit from strong brand value and early excitement, sustaining theatrical performance beyond weekend peaks remains a challenge.
Producers and distributors remain optimistic, pointing to international markets and upcoming regional releases that could add to cumulative earnings. The film has strong entertainment quotient, but some critics suggest the narrative may rely more on spectacle than staying power.
Despite the slowdown, the film still outpaces many seasonal releases and remains a formidable presence on screen. The test now lies in whether positive word-of-mouth and loyalty from fans can help it break the ₹200 crore milestone in the coming weekend.
