Border 2, the much-anticipated war drama starring Sunny Deol, continues to hold its ground at the Indian box office despite entering its second week. On Day 10 (February 1, Sunday), the film saw a solid weekend boost, collecting an estimated ₹25.96 crore gross, marking a positive growth from the previous day and reflecting strong audience interest in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Punjab. This performance pushed the cumulative collections higher, benefiting from positive word-of-mouth and patriotic themes that resonated well over the Republic Day extended weekend.
As we move to Day 11 (February 2, Monday), early estimates based on morning and afternoon show occupancies indicate a natural weekday drop, with collections around ₹11.80 crore gross in India. Theatre occupancy trends from platforms like BookMyShow show an average of 15-20% in key metros during early shows, with evening slots expected to pick up slightly due to ongoing buzz. While competition from releases like Mardaani 3 and Dhurandhar persists, Border 2’s steady trend suggests it is maintaining viewer loyalty better than expected for a weekday.
Overall, the film has demonstrated resilience after a blockbuster opening, with collections stabilizing post the holiday period. Trade indicators point to minimal drops in regional circuits, particularly in North India, where Sunny Deol’s star power remains a draw. If this hold continues, Border 2 could aim for long-term success, potentially crossing significant milestones in the coming days.

About Border 2 and Future Prediction
Border 2 is a sequel to the 1997 classic Border, directed by Anurag Singh and produced by JP Films and T-Series. It features Sunny Deol reprising his role as a brave soldier, joined by Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in key parts. The story revisits the 1971 Indo-Pak war, focusing on themes of valor, sacrifice, and national pride through intense battle sequences and emotional narratives drawn from real events.
The film has received positive feedback for its grand scale, strong performances, and patriotic soundtrack, though some noted it follows a familiar formula. Its release timing near Republic Day helped build initial hype, drawing families and younger viewers to theaters. Despite mixed reviews on pacing in parts, the ensemble cast and action elements have kept it appealing across urban and rural audiences.
Looking ahead, Border 2 appears set for a profitable run, potentially reaching ₹400 crore net in India if weekday holds remain consistent. With minimal major releases in the next week, it could add another ₹50-70 crore domestically. Worldwide, crossing ₹500 crore seems achievable, solidifying it as a hit for 2026 and boosting sequels in the war genre.
