The buzz around War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is reaching fever pitch as the film’s Hindi advance booking numbers begin to break ground. According to early trade reports, War 2 has already crossed the ₹1.10 lakh mark in terms of ticket sales at national chains, with an ambitious target of closing around ₹1.75 lakh before release day.
Slated for a Pan-India Independence Day weekend release, War 2 is part of YRF’s expanding Spy Universe, directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film brings together two of India’s most loved action stars — Hrithik Roshan returning as super spy Kabir and Jr NTR making his SpyVerse debut.
Major multiplex chains including PVR Inox and Cinepolis have reported enthusiastic response, with the Hindi version alone crossing ₹1.10 lakh in advance booking revenue across select premium formats and early shows.
Trade analysts believe that if momentum continues through the next 48 hours, War 2 could easily surpass the ₹1.75 lakh mark — making it one of the biggest Hindi openers of 2025 in terms of pre-release sales.
The high-voltage pairing of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR has fans queuing up to witness their on-screen face-off. The film’s teaser, high-octane action sequences, and musical score have all contributed to the roaring anticipation.
Industry insiders say War 2 could see an opening day gross of ₹50 crore+ across all languages, if the current trajectory holds. The presence of Jr NTR has given the film massive traction in southern states as well, with Telugu and Tamil bookings also climbing steadily.
With only a few days left before its theatrical release, War 2 looks set to dominate the Independence Day box office. If the national chain advance booking touches ₹1.75 lakh or more, it could become YRF’s second-biggest Spy Universe opener — just behind Pathaan and ahead of Tiger 3.
All eyes are now on the final 24-hour surge. For fans, though, the stage is already set for a war like no other.
Advance booking data is based on early trade estimates from national multiplex chains. Final figures may vary.
