Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's War is on fire! The film, which opened in theatres on Gandhi Jayanti, crossed the Rs 150 crore mark on Monday, reported Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh. With the latest earnings, the overall collections of the film have reached Rs 166.25 crore. War surpassed the lifetime collections of Kesari, Gully Boy, Saaho and Super 30 and now holds the position of "fifth highest grossing film of 2019," reported Taran Adarsh. The film might also cross the lifetime earnings of Salman Khan's Bharat and Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal. Sharing the box office report of War, Taran Adarsh tweeted: "War hits the ball out of the park... Sets the box office on fire on Day 5 (Sunday)... Emerges the highest grossing *extended* weekend of 2019... East, West, North, South, War packs a solid punch."
In another tweet, Taran Adarsh wrote: "War - in just 5 days - crosses *lifetime business* of Kesari, Total Dhamaal, Saaho [Hindi version], Chhichhore, Super 30 and Gully Boy... Is now fifth highest grossing film of 2019... Should surpass *lifetime business* of Bharat and Mission Mangal soon."
