Hrithik Roshan broke the opening day record for the fifth time in his career with War while it was a first for Tiger Shroff. Hrithik Roshan has broken the opening day record five times in his career which is the same as Salman Khan who has also done it five times.

 

 

Shahrukh Khan has broken the opening day record six times and surprisngly Aamir Khan has also done it six times as you would expect Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan to be dominating. Today a lot depends on the date as no one is beating the record of War without a holiday but Hrithik Roshan has a good chance to surpass the recent stars with the correct dates and genre.
