In a recent interview with Times Now, trade analyst Taran Adarsh said that he has high hopes about War 2 crossing Rs 1000 crore worldwide. "Definitely. See the star power that is there, plus it's the Spy Universe. There is a fresh pairing and there is a new director as well, Ayan Mukerji. And with Yash Raj backing it, that too after Saiyaara, the expectations surely go up. Everything is going right. Now, what has to go right is the content. We will get to know it on August 14. After the trailer, there is a lot more to come in. We are hoping that this film should break all the records," he said. 

Was War a hit or a flop?
