Ayan Mukerji’s War 2, a spy thriller that entered cinemas on August 14 beside Rajinikanth’s Coolie, is soon to appear on streaming platforms. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, and produced by Aditya Chopra for Yash Raj Films, the picture drew notice for its scale and cast. Those who did not watch it in theatres will soon have the chance to do so at home, as the film is moving toward its digital release.
War 2 OTT Release Date and Platform
Netflix has obtained the rights, and the film is expected to begin streaming on October 9, 2025. It will be available in Hindi, Telugu, and other languages. Still, the producers have yet to make an official statement, and so the precise details of its arrival remain unconfirmed.
Star Cast of War 2
Alongside the central figures – Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani – the film features Anil Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Vijay Vikram Singh, Arista Mehta, and Shah Zain Alam in significant parts.
The screenplay was prepared by Aditya Chopra, Shridhar Raghavan, and Abbas Tyrewala. Reception has been uneven, with critics and viewers divided, leading to an IMDb score of 5.9. It is worth recalling that this picture follows directly from the 2019 film War, which placed Hrithik Roshan opposite Tiger Shroff, with Vaani Kapoor in a leading role.
War 2 Production Cost and Global Box Office Report
Figures released by Sacnilk suggest that War 2 was produced at a cost of Rs 400 crore. Its global earnings have so far reached Rs 364.35 crore, with Rs 236.55 crore collected from Indian theatres alone.
Conclusion
The theatrical performance of War 2 has been less blockbuster hit and more costly education. The film has a price tag of Rs 400 crore and returns of Rs 364 crore, so the accountants of the film are likely to be reaching out to the antacids. That 5.9 IMDb rating? Ouch. Nevertheless, there is always hope that the movie theater experience can be avoided by those who did not attend the theater.
The Netflix release on October 9 is a risk-free opportunity to decide whether this spy thriller is worth being a part of the YRF universe or it should have been kept secret. Creators might be hoping that streaming audiences be more generous than theatrical audiences.
FAQs
Q1: When will War 2 be available on OTT platforms?
123Telugu reports that War 2 will come on Netflix on October 9, 2025. YRF has not officially established this date as yet, however, so take it as more of an educated guess than a carved in stone. The movie will supposedly be broadcast in Hindi, Telugu, and other languages.
Q2: Did War 2 make money at the box office?
War 2 has lost Rs 35 crore after having a whopping Rs 400 crore budget and just a Rs 364.35 crore in global collections. This is a financial faceplant in Bollywood math. The movie was able to make Rs 236.55 crore in the domestic market, which is impressive until you consider that it had to make much more to break even.
Q3: Who stars in War 2?
War 2 has put together a pretty star-studded cast: Hrithik Roshan is back as the handsome spy, Jr NTR is making his YRF debut, and Kiara Advani is there to fulfill the required romantic subplot. Anil Kapoor, who is a veteran, brings gravitas and Ashutosh Rana plays his usual menacing part. The cast supporting is Vijay Vikram Singh, Arista Mehta and Shah Zain Alam.
Q4: Is War 2 a sequel?
Yes! War 2 is a sequel to 2019s War, in which Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff performed gravity-defying feats. That movie did not only make money, it received good reviews, which made this sequel a good expectation. The role of Vaani Kapoor in the original seemingly did not deserve a follow-up appearance, and was taken by Kiara Advani, possibly following spy rules of replacing lead actresses. The movie is directed by Ayan Mukerji.
