Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer War scripts history with the biggest opening day business at the box office.
The film released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu in over 4000 screens in India and 1350 screens across the world. Despite limited release internationally, the film has surpassed Salman Khan’s Bharat opening day collections.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the film’s business on social media.
War earned Rs 53.35 cr while Bharat earned Rs 42.30 cr, Mission Mangal– Rs 29.16 cr and Saaho(Hindi)- Rs 24.40 cr. (The box office figures shared are only of the domestic market.)
Despite the stiff competition of Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, multiple Bengali films and Hollywood mega-film Joker, War did great business on the first day.
The Yash Raj Films banner production has set new records, from becoming the Hindi film to have the highest day 1 business in 2019 to the biggest grosser for Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan both; War has also become the highest-grossing film on a national holiday( Gandhi Jayanti) release.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, War also starred Vaani Kapoor and Ashutosh Rana.
It released on 2 October 2019.
