By Cross Talk India Team Last updated Aug 20, 2025

The recently released film ‘War 2’ is mixed at the box office. To say that the film is a hit or a flop, it will be a little hurry, but its initial figures and trends show some important things.

Budget and collection

Heavy budget: The budget of ‘War 2’ is quite large, according to reports it is between 325 and 400 crores. To be such a big budget film, one has to earn a tremendous amount at the box office.

Early earnings: The film has conducted a fine collection in the first 4 days. The collection is not the same as that of big budget films. It has collected Rs 176 crore in India and Rs 267.68 crore worldwide.
Decline after weekend: After the initial weekend, there has been a huge decline in the film’s earnings. The collection was very low on Monday and Tuesday. This is an indication that the film’s grip is getting weaker.

Reviews and audience response

Mixed response: ‘War 2’ received mixed reaction from both critics and audiences. Some people have praised the film’s action, huge scale and chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR.
Weak story: At the same time, many critics and audiences have described the story of the film as weak and approximate. Some people believe that despite being such a big star cast, there is no depth and newness in the story.
VFX and Pacing: Some reports also have questions on the film’s VFX and Pacing, especially in the second half.

Film hit or flop?

Many factors are considered to declare any film a hit or flop, such as its budget, box office collection and audience response.

To be a hit: The film with such a big budget may have to collect at least 600 crores to be a hit. If we talk about other rights
Current Status: The film has earned well in the initial days, but the heavy decline after the weekend is a matter of concern. If this speed of earnings continues, it can be difficult for the film to be a hit. Some business analysts have even called it ‘game over’.

‘War 2’ is now seen struggling at the box office after a successful start. There is still a need to earn a lot to keep it in the category of hit. If the film does not catch its pace, it can be placed in the category of flops, especially given its huge budget. It remains to be seen how the film performs in the coming days, but currently it is moving towards being ‘average’ or ‘flop’.
