Sye Raa vs War box office collection day 1: Chiru film outperforms Hrithik-Tiger movie in these areas

Hrithik Roshan in War, Chiranjeevi in Sye Raa Narasimha ReddyInstagram

Chiranjeevi's Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has made a decent collection at the Australian box office on Wednesday and the movie has an edge over Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff's War on the first day of release.

Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff have a bigger fan following than megastar Chiranjeevi in Australia and the collection of their previous films are proof of it. Hence, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy was released in nearly 40 screens in Australia on Wednesday, while War hit around 50 screens. Trade analysts have predicted that the Hindi film will have an edge over the Telugu movie.

But the results seem contradictory to analysts' prediction. Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has collected A$189,237 from 39 locations at the Australian box office on the first day and its per-location average stands at the A$ 4,852. On the other hand, War has minted A$ 125,289 from 46 locations at the Australian box office on opening day and its per-location average is A$ 2,666.
