Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the figures.

 War first day collection Hrithik has worked with Anand before in Bang Bang (2014), which earned around Rs 27.55 crore. Tiger Shroff's previous actioner Baaghi 2 had raked in around Rs 25.10 crore on the first day.

Hrithik's last film Super 30, which was an educational drama, earned around Rs 11.83 crore. It crossed Rs 100 crore in its second week. The year wasn't so lucky for Tiger Shroff, as his film Student Of The Year 2 did not fare well at the box office, so there's much hope that War turns his luck around.

Congratulations @iHrithik @iTIGERSHROFF setting the box office on fireee. Still cant get over that @iHrithik just played a math teacher and now is seducing us all on screen. Congratulations on setting new records

Its hard to believe that Kabeer and Khalid are not real agents. WAR has to be one of the best action films everrr. @iHrithik looks like a dream and @iTIGERSHROFF is the best compliment. Khalids entry hand to hand battle and Kabeers aeroplane sequence-OMG!! Loved it!!
