Rajinikanth’s Coolie took a huge lead over War 2 on the opening day, both in collections and Book My Show ticket sales. However, War 2, headlined by NTR and Hrithik Roshan, is catching up in the box office competition by pulling things back. Coolie’s peak hour on Book My Show was 60.17K, and this was before the film’s release.
Now the Bollywood film outperformed Lokesh Kanagaraj’s directorial on its day two by selling over 62K tickets in an hour. On the other hand, Coolie’s ticket sales haven’t gone past 60K since its release. Generally, Hindi films aren’t front-loaded like South Indian films, and they show an increasing trend in collections with each passing day.
The same is happening at the moment. We need to see if War 2 can register another peak hour on the ticketing platform over the weekend. The spy action thriller, backed by Yash Raj Films, was directed by Ayan Mukerji of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani fame. War 2 marked NTR’s Bollywood debut.
