Hrithik Roshan’s Journey to War 2: A Decade of Box Office Highs and Lows

New Delhi: Hrithik Roshan’s much-awaited cinematic venture, War 2, is slated for release on August 14, 2025. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the adrenaline-charged spy thriller will showcase Hrithik once again as RAW officer Major Kabir Dhaliwal. Adding further intrigue, Telugu sensation Jr NTR will step in as the formidable antagonist, while Kiara Advani takes on the role of the female lead.

Before audiences witness the fervor of War 2, it is worth exploring Hrithik’s recent trajectory on the silver screen, a mix of spectacular triumphs and occasional missteps. From megahits like Krrish 3 and Fighter to the tepid reception of Mohenjo Daro, each film has contributed to the crescendo leading up to his latest release.

A quick look at Hrithik Roshan’s recent box office chronicles:

Fighter: Ranked as Hrithik’s third-biggest blockbuster, Fighter, also starring Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor, garnered ₹212.74 crore in India and ₹358.84 crore worldwide. Sacnilk reported its strong theatrical dominion.

Vikram Vedha (2022): Despite laudatory reviews for its direction and stellar performances by Hrithik and Saif Ali Khan, the film amassed only ₹78.9 crore domestically and ₹135.44 crore globally, making it a commercial underachiever.

War (2019): With a gargantuan ₹471 crore global haul (₹318.01 crore in India), War became 2019’s highest-grossing Indian film and still holds the apex position for both Hrithik and Tiger Shroff.

Super 30 (2019): The biographical drama, fueled by a poignant narrative about resilience and aspiration, collected ₹210 crore worldwide, with ₹147.39 crore from India.

Kaabil (2017): Clashing with Raees, Kaabil earned ₹210 crore worldwide, with ₹147.39 crore from India.

Mohenjo Daro (2016): An ambitious but ill-fated project, the film managed ₹58.23 crore in India against a colossal ₹115crore budget, rendering it a commercial debacle.

Bang Bang (2014): The action-packed escapade sped past records, grossing ₹181.04 crore domestically and ₹340 crore worldwide, becoming the fastest Bollywood film of its time to surpass the ₹200 crore milestone.

Krrish 3 (2013): Earning ₹244.05 crore in India, the superhero saga commented on its place in the pantheon of Indian box office marvels.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011): This travel-inspired ensemble drama brought in ₹89.98 crore domestically and ₹153.1 crore globally, retaining top box office positions for weeks.

From cinematic euphoria to box office turbulence, Hrithik’s filmography in the past decade has been a tapestry of grandeur, ambition, and occasional miscalculation, setting the stage for War 2’s anticipated supremacy.
