War 2 Stumbles in Week 3 With ₹1.2 Crore Day 17 as Coolie Pulls Ahead

The steep third-week slide has cast doubt on recovering the film’s reported big-budget spend from theaters.

Overview

  • On Day 16, the film dropped under ₹1 crore in India with estimates around ₹65–71 lakh across languages, per industry tracker Sacnilk.
  • Early Day 17 readings indicate a mild uptick to roughly ₹1.10–1.26 crore, pushing the India net to about ₹240–241 crore.
  • Rajinikanth’s Coolie outperformed on Day 17 with an estimated ₹2.65 crore in India, widening its lead over War 2 in the third week.
  • Global gross after 17 days is pegged near ₹360.90 crore, including roughly ₹76.75 crore from overseas markets.
  • With a commonly cited budget near ₹325 crore and about 74% recovered so far, trade coverage flags theatrical breakeven as unlikely as Param Sundari absorbs screens and audience share.
