The much-awaited War 2 is finally rolling into action, and it’s bringing with it a tsunami of star power, action, and cinematic swag. Picture this — Hrithik Roshan’s smooth-as-silk Agent Kabir teaming up (and maybe locking horns) with Jr. NTR’s fierce Agent Vikram. Add Kiara Advani to the mix, and you’ve got a trio that’s going to own the big screen this Independence Day weekend.
And yes — the countdown is officially on. The advance bookings for the Hindi version open this Sunday, August 10, 2025, and the film has already sold 23000 tickets, though the bookings have not opened full-fledgedly. You might want to set a reminder, because this one’s going to sell like hot jalebis on a winter morning.
War 2 is Going Massive
Here’s the scoop — Yash Raj Films isn’t just releasing War 2, they’re unleashing it. The Hindi version alone is landing on a jaw-dropping 5000 screens across India. And we’re not just talking about the North; there will be select Hindi shows in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and even Puducherry.
Plus, YRF is making sure the experience is next level — we’re talking IMAX, 4DX, ICE, and Dolby Cinema. So whether you’re a “first day, first show” loyalist or a “wait for premium seats” type, you’re covered.
Praneet Samaiya, the trade analyst, said, “War 2 isn’t just a release, it’s an event. Bringing Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR together for the first time is history in the making. Expect the unexpected at the box office.”
YRF Locks 90% Of Single Screens
If you thought this was just about multiplexes, think again. YRF has pulled off a masterstroke by securing over 90% of single screens across the country for War 2. That’s basically saying, “If you go to the movies during Independence Day weekend, you’re watching us.”
Single-screen owners are loving it. With two mega-stars, an action-packed story, and a holiday release, footfalls are expected to be sky-high. The North Indian market, especially, is primed for a total War 2 takeover.
War 2 Action Scenes
Now, let’s get to the fun part — the action. Apparently, War 2 has six massive action sequences, each more ambitious than the last.
The two that everyone’s whispering about:
Hrithik’s Japanese Entry – Think style, drama, and a “hero is here” moment with Katana sword will make you want to whistle in the theatre.
Jr NTR’s Somalian Pirate Block – Raw, intense, and packed with adrenaline. If you’ve seen Jr. NTR in RRR, you know the kind of fire he brings to a fight scene.
With Ayan Mukerji directing, expect the perfect mix of big-screen spectacle and emotional beats.
Independence Day Weekend Release
Releasing on the Independence Day 2025 weekend means one thing — an extended holiday box office run. The patriotic vibe plus a star-studded action entertainer? It’s a dream setup for record-breaking numbers.
If you’ve been waiting for a film that truly feels like a “big screen must-watch,” War 2 is it. Hrithik’s charm, Jr. NTR’s fire, Kiara Advani’s elegance, and YRF’s signature action spectacle are coming together to give us a movie experience that’s pure cinema magic. Also, you can thank us for telling you that you will see Bobby Deol as a surprise in the film. So, sharpen your elbows for ticket booking day — because everyone’s going to want a piece of this one.
