War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is one of the most awaited movies in India. Fans are already excited, and the buzz is growing stronger with each passing day. The film is expected to make a huge impact at the Indian box office when it releases on August 14, 2025. If everything goes well, War 2 might even break the record set by Pushpa 2 in the Hindi market.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, this big-budget action film is the sequel to War (2019), which was a massive hit. It is also the sixth film in YRF’s Spy Universe, which includes successful titles like Pathaan and Tiger 3. After the super success of Pathaan, fans are even more excited to see what War 2 brings to the big screen.

Pushpa 2’s Huge Opening in Hindi

When Pushpa 2 released in 2024, it created a storm at the box office. The movie, led by Allu Arjun, had a strong following thanks to the success of Pushpa: The Rise. The sequel lived up to the expectations and earned a historic ₹72 crore net on its opening day from the Hindi-dubbed version alone. This number is still the biggest Hindi opening by any film in India.

Can War 2 Break Pushpa 2’s Record?

Now, all eyes are on War 2. With the star power of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, and the backing of YRF, the movie is expected to open on a grand scale. Even though it will clash with Rajinikanth’s Coolie on the same day, the Hindi version of War 2 is unlikely to be affected much. South films may dominate in their own regions, but War 2 has a strong hold in the Hindi market.

Back in 2019, War earned ₹51.60 crore on day one in Hindi. That was five years ago. With the fanbase of both Hrithik and Jr NTR growing bigger and the popularity of the Spy Universe increasing, War 2 has a great chance of setting a new opening day record in Hindi.

A Box Office Storm is Coming

The hype around War 2 is not just limited to fans. Even neutral moviegoers are curious about this big film. It has something for everyone – action, drama, and two massive stars sharing screen space for the first time. The film will attract both mass and class audiences, which is a huge advantage.

With no other big Hindi release on the same day, War 2 has the perfect chance to shine. The stage is set, the buzz is high, and expectations are sky-rocketing. If it connects well with the audience, there’s no stopping it from crossing Pushpa 2’s record.
