According to Taran, as of October 15, War is followed by Kabir Singh, Uri, Bharat and Mission Mangal.
War is also the fifth Yash Raj Films to cross 100 crores plus net box- office collection over the third day after Dhoom 3, Sultan, Tiger Zinda Hai and Thugs of Hindostan.
The film has created seven new records including that for a Gandhi Jayanti release, a film released in Navratri and the highest-grossing first 3-day for Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and Siddharth Anand, who is the director.
The high octane film also stars Vaani Kapoor opposite Hrithik and shows the two male superstars pitted in a massive showdown.
Gaining mass support across theatres in India, the mega-actioner has hit the right chord with the audience.
Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film has been bankrolled by Aditya Chopra under the big banner of Yash Raj Films.
