After months of anticipation, Netflix has finally announced the streaming release of War 2, bringing joy to fans of Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani who missed watching it on big screens and were eagerly waiting to catch the action thriller online.
The much-anticipated sequel will begin streaming on October 9, available in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film marks the sixth chapter in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, but despite its massive scale and star power, it struggled to replicate the box office magic of its predecessor.

Released in theatres worldwide on August 14, War 2 carried towering expectations. With Hrithik Roshan returning as the enigmatic spy Kabir and Jr NTR stepping into the franchise as a new lead, the sequel promised to push the boundaries of Bollywood action cinema. It was also Mukerji’s first venture into high-octane espionage territory, following his success with Brahmāstra.
However, after a strong opening weekend, audience buzz began to taper off. The film eventually closed its theatrical run with ₹364.25 crore worldwide, a respectable number but well below the ₹471 crore collected by the 2019 hit War.
