War starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, released today and we are still awaiting the occupancy numbers. But before that could happen, we found out that the film has already left Salman Khan's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo behind. As per Trade Expert Komal Nahta, the number of tickets sold till last midnight prior to the release day is Rs 4.05 Lakh and that's the best ever. War Box Office Collection Day 1: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s Film To Earn Over Rs 45 Crore

PRDP was till now at the top with Rs 3.40 Lakh and that's a Diwali Salman Khan release. Now the point to be noted here is this is the combined total from PVR, INOX and Cinepolis.

War is a sleek, stylish action film. The film is expected to do extremely well at the box office given the combined might of superstars Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. The latter has worshipped Hrithik since forever now and Siddharth Anand used that sentiment with minor changes. He turned it into a face-off that the audience would love to enjoy.  No wonder that War is already scoring brownie points within a few hours of its release.
