Siddharth Anand’s War has proven to be a huge success at the box office, having earned an incredible Rs. 238 crores over its nine day run! With a remarkable start that just kept growing on, even weekdays couldn’t hold back the momentum surrounding this action–thriller. It comes as no surprise that this time around, Dussehra was celebrated with special enthusiasm by those who watched it!
With the closing of its second weekend, this film is projected to have surpassed Kabir Singh’s lifetime score, making it the highest grosser of 2019. Should this projection prove accurate, then within two weeks the movie will undoubtedly have earned enough to enter into the exclusive Rs. 300 Crore Club and solidify its blockbuster status.
What has to be seen though is where does this Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer eventually ends up. While it is a given that Rs. 325 crores would be scored by this film, the target that it should be setting for itself is Rs. 350 crores. That should ideally be scored considering there is not much competition ahead till the Diwali release of Housefull 4. The film’s massive run has anyways made 2019 further exciting and if Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 4 followed by Salman Khan’s Dabangg 3 turn out to be blockbusters too then this year would go down as the best ever in last couple of decades.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
