Sunny Deol’s much-anticipated war sequel, Border 2, continues to maintain a steady presence at the Indian box office even in its fifth week. On Day 28 (February 19, 2026), the film collected an estimated ₹0.50 crore net, reflecting a modest 9% decline from the previous day’s ₹0.55 crore. This drop aligns with typical weekday patterns, where audience footfall dips due to work commitments, yet the movie’s patriotic theme keeps drawing selective viewers in key circuits like Punjab and Delhi.
For Day 29 (February 20, 2026), early estimates based on morning and afternoon show occupancies suggest a collection of around ₹0.60 crore net. This represents a 20% uptick from Day 28, aided by the Friday factor which often sees a slight boost in family and evening crowds. Occupancy trends from platforms like BookMyShow indicate average fillings of 10-15% in major cities such as Mumbai and Guwahati, with stronger holds in mass belts, signaling resilience amid competition from newer releases.
Overall, Border 2’s box office journey has been solid, surpassing initial expectations for a sequel after nearly three decades. With cumulative earnings crossing ₹324 crore net in India, the film demonstrates enduring appeal through word-of-mouth and repeat viewings. Analysts note a consistent trend of low but stable daily figures in the extended run, bolstered by positive social media buzz on X about its action sequences and ensemble performances.

About Border 2 and Future Prediction
Border 2 is an epic war film set during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, focusing on a group of Indian soldiers defending a remote outpost against overwhelming odds. The story highlights their bravery, camaraderie, and sacrifices as they face intense battles involving ground assaults, air strikes, and naval elements. Directed by Anurag Singh, it serves as a standalone sequel to the 1997 classic Border, blending high-stakes action with emotional moments that pay tribute to real-life military heroes.
The movie features a strong ensemble cast led by Sunny Deol as a determined lieutenant colonel, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in key roles as officers from different armed forces branches. Supporting actors like Mona Singh and Sonam Bajwa add depth to the personal stories. Produced by T-Series and J.P. Films with a focus on authentic locations across India, the film incorporates realistic combat scenes and a soundtrack that enhances its patriotic tone.
Looking ahead, Border 2 appears poised to wrap up its theatrical run around ₹330-340 crore net in India, considering the current daily trends and upcoming releases. While it hasn’t matched the explosive success of Sunny Deol’s previous hit Gadar 2, it has recovered its ₹275 crore budget comfortably, earning a ‘plus’ verdict. Positive audience feedback on social media could extend its legs in regional markets, potentially pushing worldwide totals beyond ₹450 crore.
