Despite an open week with no new release, War 2 (Hindi) couldn’t sustain itself and went down further on its second Friday. The film had brought in Rs. 4 crores on Thursday, so one would have expected that if not seeing an increase in numbers, it would at least stabilise on Friday and bring in Rs. 3.75-4 crores again. However, that was not the case to be as collections plummeted further to Rs. 3.50 crores*.
This shows how the film hasn’t been accepted at all, and now all hopes whatsoever of scoring at least one more double digit number have gone for a toss. Had the collections at least moved up to Rs. 5 crores then by some stroke of luck it could have got into that Rs. 8-10 crores zone on Sunday. That would have been very tough though but at least trending wise there was some possibility. However, now that the trending is negative, going up to even Rs. 6-7 crores by Sunday looks very difficult since audiences are just not interested in catching this film in big numbers.
The Hrithik Roshan and NTR starrer has now reached Rs. 158.25 crores* and it would barely cross Rs. 165 crores by the time the second weekend is through. Also, this Friday drop indicates that an entry into the Rs. 200 Crore Club is now out of question. The best case scenario for the film is a lifetime of Rs. 180 crores and that would be about it with the flurry of new releases in the coming few weeks. The Ayan Mukherji and YRF film is now a huge box office flop and that’s very disheartening since Bollywood was having such a good run till its arrival.
