War 2 crosses Rs 2.15 billion worldwide: How Hrithik Roshan’s latest stacks up against his last 5 films

Over the last decade, Hrithik Roshan has dipped his toes in just about everything — action, thrillers, and even a drama where he played a math wizard. Now, it’s War 2 making noise, crossing over Rs 215 crore worldwide. But how does this potential blockbuster stack up against Roshan's past hits (and a few misses)? Let’s break it down — film by film, crore by crore.

Kaabil (2017) – Rs 208 crore

This was a stark, painful watch. Starring Roshan and Yami Gautam, the revenge drama sees the leads playing a blind couple, blissful in love, till tragedy strikes. Roshan’s persona changes instantly, and he becomes a man seeking justice. Emotional, intense, and full of melodrama, Roshan showed that he could carry a high-stakes narrative, without a mega-franchise behind him.

Super 30 (2019) – Rs 208 crore

From action hero to math wizard Roshan turned heads as Anand Kumar, the real-life teacher who trained underprivileged kids to crack the IIT entrance. With a grounded performance and heartfelt storytelling, Super 30 managed to pull in Rs 208 crore.

War (2019) – Rs 475 crore

Then came the juggernaut. Paired with Tiger Shroff, Hrithik turned War into a stylish, high-octane monster hit. With Rs 475 crore in the bag, it remains the crown jewel of his career. Every slow-motion walk, every stubble flick — War cemented Roshan as Bollywood’s ultimate action star.

Vikram Vedha (2022) – Rs 135 crore

Despite solid performances from Roshan and Saif Ali Khan, this remake of the Tamil cult hit didn’t light up the box office. With only Rs 135 crore, Vikram Vedha felt like a critical darling that just didn’t connect with the masses.

Fighter (2024) – Rs 344 crore

The skies weren’t the limit after all. Marketed as India’s first big aerial action film, Fighter delivered thrills but couldn’t quite match the madness of War. With Rs 344 crore, it was a hit — but not the history-making blockbuster Roshan fans were expecting.

So, where does War 2 stand?

With Rs 215 crore worldwide already, War 2 is still in take-off mode. But here’s the thing: compared to Kaabil and Super 30, it’s already ahead. It has also zoomed past Vikram Vedha. The real question is whether it can outfly Fighter’s Rs 344 crore — and ultimately challenge its own prequel’s mammoth Rs 475 crore run.
