When the two of the most popular actors come together for a film, you can surely expect a blockbuster. Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s War hit the screens yesterday, and both the fan-bases thronged the theatres to see their stars battle it out in an epic face-off.
The film, which released on around 4000 screens, is expected to have a fabulous opening of around Rs 35-40 crore. War released on Gandhi Jayanti (October 2), which is a national holiday. This would have ensured more footfall at the theatres.
However, War will face tough competition from Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Chiranjeevi, as well as the Hollywood release Joker.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, War also features Vaani Kapoor and Ashutosh Rana. Hrithik has worked with Anand before in Bang Bang (2014), which earned around Rs 27.55 crore. Tiger Shroff’s previous actioner Baaghi 2 had raked in around Rs 25.10 crore on the first day.
Hrithik’s last film Super 30, which was an educational drama, earned around Rs 11.83 crore. It crossed Rs 100 crore in its second week. The year wasn’t so lucky for Tiger Shroff, as his film Student Of The Year 2 did not fare well at the box office, so there’s much hope that War turns his luck around.
War tells the story of an agent Khalid (Tiger Shroff), who is on a difficult mission to kill his former mentor Kabir (Hrithik). What follows is high-octane action sequences in exotic locations and a romantic plot hemmed in briefly.
While Bollywood celebrities gave the film a thumbs up, the film has received mixed reviews. India Today reviewer Nairita Mukherjee gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5, and said that the film is just about action. But, in War’s defence, it delivers what it actually promised since its promo: two good looking men (one more than the other) clashing, along with action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If anyone went in expecting path-breaking cinema, well, why?” she wrote.
