War 2 has turned out to be a disappointing affair at the Indian box office. With Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR coming together, it was expected to mint big numbers in Hindi and Telugu versions. Unfortunately, it failed to meet mammoth expectations and is heading towards a major failure. Amid this, there’s one thing to celebrate: It has emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film in Telugu. Keep reading for a detailed report!

The War sequel had the potential to be one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films in history, considering the collaboration of two of the biggest superstars of the respective industries. Unfortunately, it failed to build the required hype before the release. Further, mixed word-of-mouth made things worse. Both Hrithik and NTR failed to use their stardom to its full potential.

How much did War 2 earn at the Indian box office in Telugu?

In Telugu, War 2 started its journey on a fair note by earning 22.75 crores. From day 2 onwards, it went downhill and fetched a disappointing total during the 8-day extended opening week. As per Sacnilk, it scored 52.2 crore net at the Indian box office.
