Even before its first ticket is officially sold, War 2 has shattered a massive all-time record, signaling the arrival of a true box office tsunami. The YRF Spy Universe film, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has officially become the film with the highest-ever interest on the ticketing platform BookMyShow, achieving this feat five days before its theatrical release.
This new record proves that the anticipation for the action spectacle has reached a fever pitch, surpassing the hype generated by some of the biggest blockbusters in recent memory.
A New All-Time Record In Audience Interest
As of today, War 2 has crossed a phenomenal 758,000 interests on BookMyShow. This metric is a key indicator of pre-release buzz, tracking the number of users who have actively marked their intent to watch the film. By reaching this number, War 2 has dethroned previous record-holders and established itself as the most anticipated film in the platform’s history.
To put this monumental achievement into perspective, War 2 has beaten the interest numbers of a slate of Bollywood’s biggest hits. The film’s buzz has surpassed that of Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbusters Jawan (730k) and Pathaan (722k). It has also soared past other major successes, including Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 (517.5k), Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra (430k), and Animal (410k), showcasing an unparalleled level of excitement from the audience.
What This Means for War 2‘s Box Office Opening
While the interest metric on BookMyShow does not represent actual ticket sales, it is considered the most reliable indicator of an audience’s eagerness to watch a film. A high interest level almost always translates into massive numbers once advance bookings open, pointing towards a historic opening day collection. The unprecedented hype for War 2 suggests it is primed for a record-shattering start at the box office.
This incredible buzz is fueled by a combination of powerful factors. The explosive, first-time on-screen showdown between two of India’s biggest superstars, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is a primary driver. This, combined with the immense brand value of the YRF Spy Universe and a visually stunning trailer, has created the perfect storm of anticipation for its release on the Independence Day holiday weekend.
