Released on August 14 as an Independence Day treat, War 2, the sequel to Yash Raj Films’ blockbuster spy thriller, War, marked Tollywood star NTR’s Bollywood debut, while it also had Bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan making his Tollywood debut. The film also featured the gorgeous Bollywood actress Kiara Advani in a lead role.
Unfortunately, despite the sky-high expectations and a massive hype, War 2 ended up being a colossal flop at the box office. The film has ended its theatrical run in cinemas across the country with a meager lifetime gross of just about Rs 361 crore. While the film earned about Rs 277 crore gross from India, it collected another Rs 84 crore at the box offices abroad.
War 2’s Hindi version contributed around Rs 214 crore gross with a nett collection of Rs 171 crore. On the other hand, the film’s Telugu version shocked everyone by collecting just Rs 63 crore at the global box office. The Ayan Mukerji directorial has ended up being the lowest-grossing film among all the previous spy-verse movies.
