Hrithik Roshan Vs Vicky Kaushal At Box Office: War 2 Hits ₹100 Crore Club Faster Than Chhaava

War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR has shattered box office records after its release on August 14. With the opening day collection of over ₹50 crore in all languages in India, it has become the fastest Hindi movie in the ₹100 crore club this year. The action film is a part of the YRF Spyverse, the franchise's sixth movie, and has lived up to the hype over the Independence Day weekend. War 2 hit the big screens in a clash with Rajinikanth starrer Coolie and amid screen battle in the North, the former has managed to score a winner.

This year, Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava emerged as a big hit in Bollywood with ₹600 crore total gross collection in India. After an opening of over ₹30 crore, much less than War 2's ₹52 crore, it went on to achieve a historic run at the box office. However, War 2 beat it to the ₹100 crore club race by reaching the milestone in India in just 2 days. Its first Friday (Independence Day) collection hit ₹56 crore plus, taking its nett biz in India to over ₹108 crore.

Jr NTR's presence in the cast has helped the movie gain significant buzz in the Telugu states, with equal collections coming in from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
