War 2 Box Office Stalls at ₹220 Crore by Day 6 as Early OTT Rumors Dismissed

Trade reports flag potential losses despite the film’s star power.

Overview

  • Day 6 India gross reached about ₹220 crore, with a ₹10.5 crore bump on discounted Tuesday and a week-one trajectory near ₹235 crore, according to PinkVilla.
  • PinkVilla reports the film is underperforming versus expectations, with potential losses for producers and at least one regional distributor and no surplus for talent on semi-backend deals.
  • Republic World says speculation of an accelerated streaming release has been refuted, with the film expected to observe the eight-week theatrical window and arrive online after early October, reportedly on Netflix.
  • Critical reaction includes a two-star review from Indian Link that praises scale and lead performances but faults predictable plotting and an underwritten role for Kiara Advani.
  • Sidharth Malhotra and Anil Kapoor publicly lauded Advani’s franchise debut, with Malhotra calling the film a stylish big-screen ride and Advani acknowledging the praise with heart emojis.
