War 2 Review, Box Office Clash, and Live Updates: Hrithik and Jr NTR Set the Screen on Fire
Big budget. Big names. Bigger expectations. That’s the vibe surrounding War 2, the high-octane action thriller starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film hit theatres on August 14 and has already made waves across the country
Advance Booking Battle: War 2 vs Coolie
Before the first show even rolled out, the box office saw a showdown.
War 2 earned a massive ₹20.57 crore in advance booking.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie surged ahead with ₹37.2 crore for Day 1.
This head-to-head is one of the biggest in recent years, and fans are watching every number closely.
Mixed Early Reviews: Spectacle or Letdown?
The film’s first reactions have now started pouring in. And it’s a mixed bag.
Many are calling it “the biggest action spectacle of the year.”
Others found it predictable and underwhelming, especially in terms of storyline.
Social media is split. While fans of Hrithik and Jr NTR are thrilled with the high-stakes action, critics are not all convinced.
Jr NTR’s Hinhttps://newsb4u.com/war-2-movie-revi…ase-live-updates/di Debut: A Star is Reborn
One of the film’s biggest highlights is Jr NTR’s official entry into Hindi cinema. His fans, especially from the South, have taken to the streets in celebration. Firecrackers, giant cutouts, and midnight screenings are just the start.
“Every South Indian has a small doubt will we be accepted? Hrithik sir, you gave me a warm hug on day one. That moment stays with me forever,” he said, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Ayan Mukerji on the Secrecy of the Plot
Unlike most commercial films, War 2 has kept its plot under tight wraps. Director Ayan Mukerji revealed this was a deliberate move.
We wanted audiences to discover the story on screen,” he said at the Hyderabad event.
“Even the teaser and trailer were crafted to give away very little.”
That creative gamble might pay off—or backfire—depending on how audiences react once the full story unfolds.
Camaraderie on Set: Hrithik and Jr NTR’s Bond
The chemistry between the lead stars has been another major talking point. Jr NTR praised Hrithik for his support and kindness throughout the shoot.
We worked together for 75 days. He treated me like a brother,” Jr NTR shared.
“I’m ready to be on screen with him again anytime.”
Their mutual admiration has added a strong emotional layer to the action-packed narrative.
What’s Next?
With War 2 now in cinemas, all eyes are on its opening weekend numbers. The advance booking alone suggests a massive turnout.
If the buzz holds strong and word-of-mouth turns positive, War 2 could become one of the year’s top earners.
