‘War’ Crosses Rs. 100 Crores In 3 Days, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy Also Going Strong

‘War’ has surpassed expectations at the box office, and crossed the magical Rs. 100 crore mark! The film witnessed a big jump in its Saturday numbers, and is poised to have an equally blockbuster Sunday. 

#Bharat – released on Wed [#Eid] – hit ₹ 150 cr in its 5-day *extended* weekend… The #SalmanKhan film got the additional push due to #Eid festivities in its opening days… #War is expected to surpass 5-day *extended* weekend of #Bharat by a margin, despite lower screen count.

The film did business of Rs. 28.70 crores on Saturday, bringing up its total collection up till Sunday to Rs. 128.85 crores. This comes after War was the biggest opener with a massive Rs. 53.35 crore nett at the box office. The film is now being compared to Salman Khan’s Eid release Bharat, as it is expected to pass the 5-day record of the film.  The film’s future depends entirely on the upcoming Dussehra holiday, as well as business on Wednesday.

So what does the future hold for #War?
⭐️ Biz should grow on Tue [#Dussehra].
⭐️ Biz on Wed is pivotal, since the trending will demonstrate how strongly it will sustain till #Diwali… Of course, lack of major opposition [till #HouseFull4 arrives] is a bonus.#India biz.

Meanwhile, audiences have responded well to Amitabh Bachchan – Chiranjeevi starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. The film has already recovered Rs. 132 crores from the market, even though it is a big-budget film made on a Rs. 200 crore budget. Both the films are likely to sustain growth at the box office, in the face of no opposition from any major release till Diwali.
