It took a mere seven days for Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's War to hit the Rs 200 crore jackpot at the box office, becoming the fastest 2019 Bollywood film to cross the mark, tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The Yash Raj Films-backed movie is also the third highest earning film of 2019 beating Salman Khan's Eid bonanza Bharat. The total box office collection (as of Tuesday) of this 'monstrous hit' is Rs 216.65 crore, of which the Hindi version alone has contributed Rs 208.05 crore. The remaining amount has been contributed by the film's Tamil and Telugu versions. "War hits double century... Collects Rs 20 crore plus every single day since release which speaks of its incredible trending... Collects a massive number on Day 7 (Tuesday) due to Dussehra... Emerges third highest grossing film of 2019, surpassing the lifetime business of Bharat," tweeted Taran Adash.
Here's the day-wise break-up of War's box office collection:
