Strong Opening Keeps the Momentum Alive
Border 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 1997 patriotic classic, continues to attract massive audiences across India despite the expected weekday slowdown. Led by Sunny Deol and supported by a powerful ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, the film has delivered one of the biggest Bollywood openings of the year. Its patriotic theme, combined with the Republic Day holiday, gave collections a significant early boost.
Day 5 Collection: A Dip, But Still On Track
On Day 5 (Tuesday), Border 2 earned approximately ₹19.5 crore, taking its total domestic collection to nearly ₹196.5 crore. While this marks a drop from the Republic Day peak, the film remains firmly on course to cross the ₹200 crore milestone within its first week—a major achievement in today’s competitive box office landscape.
Weekend Performance That Set the Tone
The film opened strong on Friday with ₹30 crore, setting a solid foundation. Saturday saw growth at ₹36.5 crore, followed by a massive jump on Sunday with ₹54–55 crore, driven by positive word-of-mouth and patriotic fervor. The biggest surge came on Republic Day (Monday), when Border 2 collected a staggering ₹59 crore, its highest single-day total so far—highlighting the impact of perfect release timing.
Global Box Office and Industry Buzz
Even beyond India, Border 2 is making its presence felt. The film’s worldwide gross is estimated between ₹270 and ₹280 crore, indicating strong overseas response as well. Industry insiders have also noted that the film’s opening weekend comfortably surpassed Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, reinforcing its blockbuster status. With such numbers, discussions around future installments in the Border franchise have already begun.
What Lies Ahead for Border 2
The key test now lies in how well the film holds during the remaining weekdays. Trade analysts believe that steady collections through Thursday will cement Border 2 as one of the biggest hits of early 2026. With the ₹200 crore mark almost guaranteed, the war drama is poised for an exceptional first-week finish and could potentially challenge other major releases this year.
