It is well known that Jr NTR and Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan are joining forces for the highly anticipated action spectacle War 2. The film has been officially slated for a grand theatrical release on August 14, and its promotional campaign is set to commence soon.
According to the latest industry estimates, War 2 is expected to make a staggering ₹450 crore gross worldwide in its opening weekend. A ₹100 crore opening day in the domestic Indian market alone seems highly achievable, further amplified by the film’s overseas performance, which will be a key determinant in its overall box office success.
For context, Pushpa: The Rule is projected to earn around ₹600 crore in its first weekend, followed by Baahubali 2 with ₹540 crore and RRR at ₹496 crore. Matching or surpassing these record-breaking figures will be a formidable challenge for War 2, but given the massive fan bases of both NTR and Hrithik Roshan, the film has the potential to set new benchmarks.
However, one of the key hurdles for War 2 lies in its genre. Futuristic action thrillers, like the one being attempted in this film, do not have a strong market presence in Telugu cinema. Unlike traditional mass entertainers, such films require a niche appeal. That said, NTR’s towering screen presence and his growing pan-India stardom could bridge this gap, ensuring that War 2 enjoys a successful run in all markets.
With a powerful combination of action, star power, and high production values, War 2 is shaping up to be a cinematic event that could redefine action filmmaking in Indian cinema.
