Yesterday, the long–awaited film War released to fanfare and frenzy. Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Siddharth Anand, this movie starring Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan is easily one of the most buzzed about releases of late. Therefore, in order to make it a smashing box office success, no effort was spared. Pre–booking for the film began as early as five days before its release across 4000 theatres all over India.
Our box office analysis examines the opening day collections of War in comparison to other Tiger Shroff releases. Unsurprisingly, War garnered Rs. 53.35 cr on Day 1, surpassing Baaghi 2’s collection of Rs. 25.1 cr and earning the title of Tiger’s biggest opening–day grosser yet. The success continues when looking at the actor’s earlier releases, Student of the Year 2 gathering Rs. 12.06 cr, Baaghi 11.94 cr, A Flying Jatt 7.1 cr, Munna Michael 6.65 cr and Heropanti collecting Rs 6.63cr – none compare to War’s grand entrance!
War has taken over theatres across the country on the special occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, garnering a broad theatre count and enormous pre–sales. With predictions indicating that the movie will pass the Rs. 100 cr mark in coming days, it’s no surprise that this might end up being Tiger Shroff’s biggest box office hit yet!
