Joining the league of films like Baahubali 2, Dangal, Sanju, Padmaavat, PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Tiger Zinda Hai among others, War has set and broken many records.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the films’ business on social media.
In its first week alone, with the benefit of a holiday of Gandhi Jayanti, War earned Rs 238.35 crores and in its second weekend, Rs 33.30 crores.
War has also become Yash Raj’s fourth highest-grossing film after Tiger Zinda Hai, Sultan and Dhoom 3.
Including the Tamil and the Telugu business at the box office, the Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer tally is close to Rs 275 crores.
On the other hand, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar starrer The Sky Is Pink has failed to make a mark at the box office.
The film earned Rs 2.50 crore on its opening Friday, rose to Rs 4 cr on Saturday and Rs 4.20 crores on Sunday, taking the opening weekend tally to Rs 10.70 crores.

#TheSkyIsPink is dull… Gathered momentum on Day 2 [Sat], but fell flat on Day 3 [Sun], more so towards evening shows… Even its target audience – multiplex crowd – didn’t embrace it wholeheartedly… Fri 2.50 cr, Sat 4 cr, Sun 4.20 cr. Total: ₹ 10.70 cr. #India biz.
