Sunny Deol’s much-anticipated sequel, Border 2, continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office even as it enters its third week. On day 13, the film experienced a noticeable dip, collecting an estimated ₹4.5 crore net, reflecting the typical weekday slowdown after a boosted Tuesday due to discounted tickets. This brings the total India net collection to around ₹319.6 crore, showing resilience in mass circuits despite competition from smaller releases.
Early estimates for day 14 indicate a solid hold, with the film likely to earn between ₹3.5 crore and ₹4 crore net. Morning shows reported moderate occupancy of about 15-20% in key cities like Mumbai and Delhi, based on advance bookings and initial trends from platforms like BookMyShow. Afternoon and evening slots are expected to pick up slightly, supported by positive word-of-mouth in rural and semi-urban areas where the patriotic theme resonates strongly.
Overall, Border 2 has shown a positive trend post its explosive Republic Day opening, crossing the ₹300 crore mark faster than expected. However, the pace has moderated in urban multiplexes due to weekday fatigue, while single screens in the Hindi belt continue to drive collections. With no major releases clashing immediately, the film is poised for a potential weekend rebound.

About Border 2 and Future Prediction
Border 2 serves as a sequel to the 1997 classic Border, directed by Anurag Singh and featuring a strong ensemble cast including Sunny Deol reprising his role, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in pivotal parts. The story draws from real events of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, focusing on themes of bravery, sacrifice, and national pride. Released during the Republic Day weekend, it has struck a chord with audiences through its high-octane action sequences, emotional depth, and powerful soundtrack.
The film’s performance so far highlights its appeal in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, where occupancy remains decent even on weekdays. Critical reception has praised the direction and performances, though some noted pacing issues in the second half. With a production budget of ₹275 crore, it has already turned profitable domestically and shows signs of sustained interest.
Looking ahead, Border 2 is likely to add another ₹20-25 crore over the upcoming weekend if trends hold, pushing the India net past ₹350 crore. Worldwide, it could aim for ₹500 crore, depending on overseas stability and minimal competition. Long-term success will rely on digital rights and satellite deals, positioning it as one of 2026’s top earners.
