As Bollywood gears up for an exciting slate of big releases in the coming months, all eyes are on which films will deliver massive openings at the box office. Among the most eagerly awaited is War 2, which promises grand scale production values and the backing of the highly successful YRF Spy Universe franchise. The buzz surrounding the film raises a key question: can War 2 surpass the opening day records set by Bollywood’s top superstars in recent years?
Currently, Shah Rukh Khan holds the highest opening day record with an impressive ₹129 crores for Jawan. He is closely followed by Ranbir Kapoor’s ₹116 crores from Animal, Salman Khan’s ₹95 crores for Tiger 3, Hrithik Roshan’s ₹75 crores for the original War, and Aamir Khan’s ₹73 crores from Thugs of Hindostan. Hrithik Roshan’s inclusion in this elite list makes War 2 particularly intriguing, as it will test whether he can outdo his previous benchmark.
Adding to the excitement is Jr. NTR’s debut as the main antagonist in a Hindi film, marking his first lead role in Bollywood. While his presence in the teaser has met with mixed reactions, the overall grandeur of the film is expected to draw audiences. The combination of Hrithik and Jr. NTR, alongside the established popularity of the YRF Spy Universe, positions War 2 strongly for a big opening.
Kiara Advani, who plays a significant role in the film, has also captured public attention, notably with a brief yet impactful bikini shot in the teaser. To amplify the hype, the film will need a superhit soundtrack and an engaging trailer in the coming weeks.
The original War set a high bar with an opening day collection of ₹53 crores, a number that grew steadily in the following days. Given Bollywood’s current landscape, such figures are rare and noteworthy, especially in 2025. The industry and fans alike are now waiting to see if War 2 can join the ranks of the highest-grossing films of the year, potentially rewriting box office records once again.
