The box office battle between War 2 and Rajinikanth’s Coolie continues, but the Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer action drama has slipped further behind its box office competitor. Despite opening to a strong start, the Yash Raj Films production has seen a significant decline in its box office collections as it entered its second week on Monday.
According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, War 2 earned Rs 2.25 crore net on its 12th day, marking a steep 68.97% drop from Sunday’s business of Rs 7.25 crore. With this, the film’s total domestic earnings stand at Rs 224.25 crore net. In comparison, Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which released on the same day, has maintained a stronger hold, collecting an impressive Rs 260.35 crore net in India so far.

War 2 OTT release
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 also features Kiara Advani and Anil Kapoor in important roles. After its theatrical run, the film is set to release on OTT on Netflix, although the official streaming date has yet to be announced. Traditionally, Bollywood releases follow a six-to-eight-week window before arriving on digital platforms, suggesting a likely OTT debut in mid-October 2025.
Despite its star-studded cast and high-octane action sequences, War 2 faces stiff competition from Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which continues to dominate the box office.
