Given the combined star power of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, the film is looking to rewrite the history books. The top spot for the Republic Day openers is occupied by Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan. The Spy Universe biggie with a collection of 55 crore is the undisputed king of Republic Day openers.

While dethroning King Khan is a mammoth task, the second spot might be an easier target as Sunny Deol’s Border 2 sits at number 2 with an opening day collection of 32.1 crore. Following him is Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter (24.6 crore) at number 3.

Love & War is clearly occupying one of the top 3 spots, changing the record books forever. Earlier, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat was in the top 3 until Border 2 arrived in 2026.
