War proved to be a victorious day on Thursday as Rs. 24.35 crores came into the coffers, despite being a 50% drop from ideal levels. Though critical reviews have been favorable and word–of–mouth praise has kept people’s spirits high, it would’ve been more ideal for collections to break the Rs. 25 crore mark.
Nonetheless, one also has to consider the fact that first day was simply spectacular and now the second day is sort of bonus numbers since the real weekend is yet to come. As long as the numbers stay over the Rs. 20 crores mark today, there is a good hope that at least on Sunday, if not Saturday itself, the Sidharth Anand directed film will get into the 30s again, which would be a great result.
Last year when Thugs of Hindostan had released on Diwali and set a huge record, it crashed in subsequent days. Good hold on the second day, despite being entirely working, has ensured that for War there would be growth in days to come. How big, would eventually decide where this Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer is heading. So far the film has collected Rs. 77.70 crores and one waits to see if with some stretch, the Rs. 100 crores mark is crossed today itself.
