📉 Trend Check
- After a strong start, collections slowed in Week 2’s Friday (Day 9) with less than ₹5 cr India net—indicating soft legs unless a turnaround comes over the weekend.
✅ Hit or Flop? (Current Status)
- With a ~₹400 cr landing cost, the film needed a much higher India net and stronger worldwide numbers for a clean hit.
- Given the current tally (India net ~₹208 cr; worldwide gross ~₹314 cr) and the observed trend, War 2 is underperforming and is tracking toward a Flop (theatrical) as of now—unless it manages a sharp jump in collections in the coming weeks.
- Non-theatrical deals (digital + satellite rights) provide financial safety to producers, but theatrical verdicts are judged on box-office recovery alone. On that front, the film is below expectations at present.
