Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's War has been squashing all Box Office records since its release on October 2. Despite competition from Priyanka Chopra's The Sky Is Pink and Joker, the film has managed to collect Rs 284.20 crore at the tickets windows and is inching closer to the Rs 300 crore mark.
Revealing latest numbers of War, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#War will cross *lifetime biz* of #Dhoom3 today [Wed]... Will cross #Sultan over the weekend... [#Hindi; Week 2] Fri 7.10 cr, Sat 11.20 cr, Sun 13.20 cr, Mon 4.40 cr, Tue 3.90 cr, Wed 3.35 cr. Total: ₹ 271.65 cr. Including #Tamil + #Telugu: ₹ 284.20 cr. #India biz."
Siddharth Anand's directorial had opened with the first day collection of over Rs 50 crore.
A report in Box Office India adds: "War has smashed all records in West Bengal outside Bahubali - The Conclusion. The film has collected 22 crore nett in the circuits in fifteen days which is far ahead of any other outright Hindi film. The film was aided by Durja Puja in week one when it collected a huge 17 crore nett plus total with insane collections in the Kolkata multiplexes with the national chain multiplexes averaging around 40 lakhs nett in the city."
It has been a great year for Hrithik as his last film Super 30 was also a superhit.
In an interview, he said, “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.”
