After all, good things take time to cook. Ahead of War 2’s release, let’s take a look at the box office performances of his films that released in the last five years. Considering COVID-19 had no theatrical release, Hrithik was back on the big screen in 2022 with Vikram Vedha. In 2019, Hrithik had two almost back-to-back hits. The first film to release that year was Super 30, the biopic of Anand Kumar, a mathematics teacher who trains underprivileged students to clear the IIT exam. The film earned Rs 208.93 crore worldwide and emerged as the 12th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2019. War, with Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor, released in October 2019 and became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019. The spy thriller grossed Rs 475.62 crore worldwide. Let's take a look at Hrithik's box office report in the last five years.
2022
Hrithik was back on the big screen after a three-year gap with the Hindi remake of Vikram Vedha co-starring Saif Ali Khan. The film received critical acclaim and Hrithik especially got rave reviews for his performance as Vedha, a gangster, originally played by Vijay Sethupathi in the Tamil original. Vikram Vedha did a business of Rs 79 crore in India, and the worldwide gross collection was around Rs 135 crore.
2024
Fighter, viewed as a patriotic film, introduced aerial action to Hindi cinema. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the movie starred Hrithik with Anil Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi. Fighter got positive to mixed reviews, but it became the eighth highest-grossing Indian film of 2024 and the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024.
War 2, a part of the Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, is highly anticipated. Despite its clash with Rajinikanth’s Coolie, Hrithik’s hold on the Hindi market is strong enough to pull crowds to theatres. A glimpse of his character Kabir was shown in the post-credits scene of Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3 in 2023.
