Border 2 continued its strong run at the box office after a massive extended weekend boosted by the Republic Day holiday. On its fifth day (Tuesday), the film experienced a noticeable drop from the holiday high, collecting an estimated ₹19.50 crore net in India. This brought the five-day total close to ₹200 crore, reflecting solid audience interest despite the end of the long weekend.
Entering its sixth day (Wednesday), early trends indicate a further decline as regular workdays resume across the country. Morning and afternoon shows reported lower occupancy compared to previous days, with footfalls dipping significantly in many regions. Reports from trade sources highlight a struggle in single screens and multiplexes alike during daytime slots.
As per preliminary estimates from industry trackers like Sacnilk, Border 2 has added around ₹5.55 crore net by late afternoon on day 6. This takes the overall India net collection past the ₹205 crore mark, maintaining its position as one of the top performers of 2026 so far.

About Border 2 and Future Prediction
Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, serves as a spiritual sequel to the 1997 classic Border and features an ensemble cast led by Sunny Deol, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The film has been praised for its patriotic theme, intense war sequences, and strong performances, earning positive word-of-mouth that helped sustain its momentum through the opening days.
With the film comfortably crossing the ₹200 crore mark in India within six days, it has already recovered its budget and emerged as a clear winner. The sharp drops on weekdays are expected after the holiday advantage, but stable holds in key circuits could help it maintain decent numbers ahead of the second weekend.
Looking ahead, Border 2 is likely to benefit from continued appreciation among family audiences and in mass belts. Trade experts predict a first-week close around ₹240-260 crore net in India, with potential for a healthy lifetime run if it stabilizes further.
