"And the Hindi version of War hits triple century crosses Rs 300 crore," said film trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Produced by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films, War's on-screen pairing of the two action dominating stars and their face-off scenes has worked perfectly well. The film has also surpassed this year's biggest hit -- Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh.
Overwhelmed with the film's success, Hrithik Roshan said in a statement, "It is an incredible response to our hard work and I’m truly grateful to the audience for loving our film. When we decided to make War, we were clear that we were attempting to do something that has never been done in Indian cinema and we went all out to make it happen. So, it’s hugely validating to see the fantastic response of the people enjoying our action entertainer in the theatres."
War tells the story of an agent Khalid (Tiger Shroff) who is sent on a mission to eliminate his senior and mentor Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) who has gone rogue. The film was released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu in 4000 screens. The supporting cast comprises Ashutosh Rana, Vaani Kapoor and Anupriya Goenka.
