Sunny Deol, a well-known actor in Indian cinema, is famous for his strong presence and action roles. He continues to draw audiences with his recent movies. His last five films show different opening day collections in India. These net figures reveal how viewers respond to stories about patriotism and high drama.
The newest film, Border 2, is a sequel to the 1997 war movie Border. It earned about 32.10 crore rupees on its first day. Directed by Anurag Singh, it stars Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh with Deol. The movie focuses on national pride and army life. It released around Republic Day and did well in northern areas, even with other big films competing.
Next is Jaat, from 2025, which made 9.62 crore rupees on opening day. Deol plays a brigadier in this action drama, mixing fights with family emotions. The start was solid but not as big as his sequels, thanks to marketing aimed at rural viewers.
Deol’s 2023 hit Gadar 2, sequel to the 2001 film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, had the best opening at 40.10 crore rupees. Directed by Anil Sharma, it tells a story of India-Pakistan tensions. It connected with people through memories and national feelings, and later earned over 500 crore rupees total.
On the other hand, Chup: Revenge of the Artist from 2022, a thriller by R. Balki, collected 3.06 crore rupees on day one. With Dulquer Salmaan, it deals with art and criticism, different from Deol’s usual action style, leading to a quieter launch.
Finally, Bhaiaji Superhit in 2018, an action comedy with Preity Zinta and Arshad Warsi, opened at 1 crore rupees. Despite the cast, it lacked excitement and faced tough competition.
These numbers show a pattern: Deol’s sequels or patriotic films do better. This highlights his strength in that genre. As Indian cinema grows after the pandemic, his future films will be important to watch.
