War box office collection: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's latest film War has smashed a new record on its first day of release at the box office. This high-octane action drama film has become the biggest box office opener to date, with a collection of Rs 55 crore on Day 1. War has surpassed the first-day collections of Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan (Rs 52 crore) to touch this feat. According to trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh, War has collected Rs 53.35 crore on its released date, setting a tone for a high-earning weekend. War's Hindi version alone collected Rs 51.60 crore, whereas its Tamil and Telugu version earned Rs 1.75 crore.

War has witnessed the maximum footfall at the box office, and as per trade experts, the hype over the film would continue until Akshay Kumar's Housefull 4 hit the screens on October 26. War is directed by Siddarth Anand, and it also features Vaani Kapoor in a pivotal role. For the first time, Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan are being seen together in a movie. War is said to have some jaw-dropping action-sequences between Shroff and Roshan, which have been choreographed by Paul Jennings and Jack Reacher who worked in The Dark Knight and Game of Thrones.
