Border 2 experienced a noticeable dip on day 14, collecting an estimated ₹4.65 crore in India gross, reflecting the typical weekday slowdown after a strong second weekend. This comes after day 13’s ₹5.81 crore, showing a decline of about 20 percent, as audience footfalls eased in urban centers while mass belts continued to support the film. Theatre occupancy hovered around 10-15 percent in major cities like Mumbai and Delhi, based on booking trends observed on platforms like BookMyShow, indicating steady but not explosive interest mid-week.
Early estimates for day 15 suggest a slight uptick to around ₹5.35 crore in India gross, benefiting from the start of the third weekend and positive word-of-mouth in rural areas. This modest recovery aligns with the film’s patriotic theme resonating during the post-Republic Day period, though competition from newer releases like Mardaani 3 and Dhurandhar has impacted urban multiplexes. Overall, the trend points to resilience in tier-2 and tier-3 markets, where occupancy reached 20-25 percent in evening shows, helping maintain momentum.
With cumulative collections nearing ₹390 crore gross in India after 15 days, Border 2 remains a solid performer in 2026’s early lineup. The film’s ability to hold ground despite weekday drops highlights its appeal to family audiences and Sunny Deol fans, though future days will depend on weekend jumps to push towards higher milestones. Analysts note that social media buzz on X (formerly Twitter) has been positive, with users praising the action sequences and emotional depth, contributing to sustained interest.

About Border 2 and Future Prediction
Border 2 serves as a sequel to the 1997 classic Border, directed by Anurag Singh and featuring Sunny Deol reprising his role alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The story revisits the Indo-Pak war theme, focusing on bravery and sacrifice during the 1971 Battle of Longewala, with high-octane action and emotional moments that pay homage to real-life heroes. Released on January 23, 2026, it has drawn crowds for its nostalgic value and strong performances, particularly Deol’s commanding presence.
The film has benefited from positive reviews highlighting its visual effects and soundtrack, though some critics noted pacing issues in the second half. Production by JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta under their banner, combined with T-Series involvement, ensured wide distribution across 4,000 screens in India. Overseas, it has performed decently in markets like the US and Canada, where diaspora audiences have shown enthusiasm via social media shares.
Looking ahead, Border 2 is poised to cross ₹350 crore net in India by the end of its third week, with potential for ₹400 crore lifetime if the upcoming weekend sees a 50 percent jump from day 15. However, sustained competition and digital release plans could cap its run; experts predict a final worldwide gross around ₹500 crore, marking it as a profitable venture given its ₹275 crore budget.
