War 2 advance booking: Ahead of Independence Day, Hrithik Roshan Jr. and NTR's action-packed film "War 2" will be released on August 14. Advance tickets went on sale on Sunday. The movie has already made over ₹4 crore from advance sales.

More on ‘War 2’ advance bookings

By 10.30 p.m. on Sunday, the advance booking amount had surpassed ₹4.24 crore, according to Sacnilk.com. The numbers include roughly 9000 Hindi shows (2D, IMAX, DOLBY, 4DX, and other formats), 100 Tamil shows, and 115 Telugu shows. Given that the movie also features well-known Telugu actor Jr. NTR, the Telugu shows are lower than anticipated, according to the trade tracker.
 
According to Sacnilk, the 2-hour and 53-minute Hindi version of War 2 would be shown on 5000 screens in India. Last week, War 2's foreign advance reservations began as well, although the reception was not particularly positive. According to trade sources, YRF is offering paid previews of the Hindi version on 900 US screens. Approximately 1,600 tickets had been sold by Sunday.
 
Aside from Hindi, the film will also be accessible in Telugu and Tamil. It will have a restricted distribution in the Southern belt, which includes Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Pondicherry. Bollywood Hungama reports that the most expensive spy movie in India, which was made on a 400 crore budget, is anticipated to be one of the year's biggest openers.
