The Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff action thriller War has earned a total of Rs 271.65 crore in 12 days. The film reported strong numbers on Sunday as well, raking in Rs 13.90 crore.
The film is poised to be one of the biggest earners of the year and has already broken many records with its earnings. It recorded opening day figures of Rs 53.35 crore, breaking the Thugs of Hindostan’s record for biggest opening day.
The film has achieved multiple benchmarks since its release and has already cemented its place as one of 2019’s biggest releases.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared on Twitter, “#War continues its splendid run in Weekend 2… Shows big gains on [second] Sat and Sun, taking it closer to ₹ 275 cr mark… #War [#Hindi; Week 2] Fri 7.10 cr, Sat 11.20 cr, Sun 13.20 cr.

War also stars Vaani Kapoor and Anupriya Goenka in pivotal roles. The film was a wide release and is screening in 4000 theatres across the country.
Despite strong competition from the DC film Joker, War still reigned supreme in box offices. It is expected to continue its mammoth run because of next to no competition from other films like The Sky Is Pink.
The total collections of Hrithik-Tiger starrer now stands at Rs 276.40 crore.
Hrithik Roshan shared, "Professionally, it has been a very special year for me. Both the successes have been so empowering. It has only motivated and encouraged me to keep following my instincts and work hard."
"This success has been the sweetest for me. As for action films and me being a match made in heaven, I’d love to believe it too as it is the genre I enjoy the most," shared Hrithik Roshan in a recent statement.
Director Siddharth Anand said, "We had an idea of turning it into a franchise provided we get the love of the audience. It seems audience’s demand is more than our desire. This is how it should be. We all will sit together soon and decide on it."
Hrithik Roshan earlier told The Indian Express, "Action films are difficult to write. They are not about blowing a car or doing stunts. They are about the intelligence of the plot. I make sure that all my characters have a strong emotional base whether it is Kabir of War or Aarif of Dhoom 2. The content of the film draws from this emotional base."
Vaani Kapoor told PTI, "There are some films that make money but do not get the love. But some films get both, money and love, and War is one of them. I hope I keep entertaining everybody with good films."
