War, starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, is ruling the box office and how.

The film collected a whopping sum of Rs 23.10 crore on Thursday alone. In his tweet, Taran Adarsh stated that the film's performance was not only brilliant on its opening day (which was a National holiday), it was equally impressive on a working day. Taran Adarsh described it as an "achievement" and wrote: "War is super-strong on Day 2 (working day), after the national holiday on Day 1 [Gandhi Jayanti]... Collecting Rs 20 cr+ on a working day - which happens to be Day 2 in this case - is a rarity... An achievement, since most biggies don't score Rs 20 cr on Day 1."

The Hindi rendition of the film collected Rs 74.70 crore, while the Tamil and Telugu versions collectively earned Rs 3 crore. "Warshould gather momentum on Day 4 (Sat) and 5 (Sun), thus packing a superb total in its extended weekend," tweeted Taran Adarsh.
