Border 2 Day 17 Box Office Collection – 3rd Sunday

Sunny Deol’s much-anticipated war sequel, Border 2, continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office even in its third week. After a strong opening boosted by the Republic Day weekend, the film has crossed key milestones, including the ₹300 crore net mark domestically. On day 16 (third Saturday), it collected an estimated ₹4.25 crore net, showing a healthy jump from the previous day’s lower figures amid weekday slowdowns.

Early estimates for day 17 (third Sunday, February 8, 2026) suggest collections around ₹5 crore net in India, based on morning occupancy trends around 25-30% in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, as per industry trackers. This indicates a slight uptick of about 18% from day 16, driven by family audiences and positive word-of-mouth in mass circuits. However, the overall trend reflects a natural dip post the initial hype, with competition from new releases and mid-week fatigue impacting daily earnings.

Despite the slowdown, Border 2’s consistent weekend holds highlight its appeal in single-screen theaters and smaller towns. The film has already amassed over ₹300 crore net domestically, with worldwide figures nearing ₹420 crore when including overseas markets. Analysts note that while urban multiplexes show moderate occupancy, the patriotic theme resonates well, positioning it for a respectable lifetime run.

About Border 2 and Future Prediction

Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, serves as a sequel to the 1997 classic Border and revisits the heroism of Indian soldiers during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. Starring Sunny Deol reprising his role alongside newcomers like Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, the film blends intense battle sequences with emotional storytelling. It highlights themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and brotherhood, drawing from real events at the Battle of Longewala while expanding the narrative to include fresh characters and modern production values.

The movie has received positive feedback for its gripping action, strong performances—especially Deol’s commanding presence—and high-quality visuals, though some critics pointed out pacing issues in the second half. Released on January 23, 2026, it benefited from the Republic Day holiday, leading to record openings in Hindi cinema. Occupancy started strong at over 60% in the first weekend but has tapered to 15-25% in the third week, reflecting typical post-holiday trends.

Looking ahead, Border 2 is expected to wrap up with a lifetime India net around ₹350-400 crore, depending on sustained holds in mass belts. With limited competition in the coming weeks, it could push towards ₹450 crore worldwide if word-of-mouth sustains. However, digital release timelines might cap theatrical earnings, making it a profitable venture given its ₹275 crore budget and pre-release deals.
