Having pulled off a casting coup with Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, and creating action sequences that have earned abundant nods from critics, the makers of War had set themselves for success at the box office, and evidently so.

Siddharth Anand's film, that released on Wednesday, has earned Rs 123.60 crores, with trade analysts estimating it will outshine Kabir Singh's all-time collection (Rs 278 crore) to emerge as the year's highest-grossing film so far.
