The much hyped sequel "Border 2", starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, is another strong addition to the box office performance. On the thirteenth day of this season, it moved onto a new milestone at the box office. It has been a success: in the last few days, the net of the film which drew people up with great thrills has accumulated an astonishing ₹290 crore across the whole of India.
After a strong run and a show-stopping first two weeks for "Border 2", however, on the thirteenth day (Day 13), even "Border 2" saw an obvious slowing period. Industry analysts report that the film collected some ₹5.50 crore on Day 13. This is a sharp drop from its weekend figures and still a healthy amount for a weekday in its second week. "Border 2", directed by a protege of the celebrated J.P. Dutta and featuring the cast led by Sunny Deol reclaiming his pioneering role with Varun Dhawan as a new core character has had great effects.
Because of its fusion of patriotic fervor, fierce action and emotional storytelling it has been proven to be a formula by which people have done well. Trade speculations suggest the film may undergo further minor fluctuations in the coming days but it is definitely moving towards the much coveted ₹300 crore level.
The film’s word-of-mouth success and the coming weekend are promising to jump again, possibly leading it to higher than this impressive level. At the moment, *Border 2* is one of the year’s highest-grossing movies and a definitive end to a decade of Sunny Deol’s hiatus, as well as a testament to Varun Dhawan’s versatility in a more serious, action-filled position. It is also success is a tale worth repeating: the enduring appeal of patriotic narratives, as well as effective big-screen action.
