The roar of the lions is louder than ever at movie theaters. Border 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1997 cult classic, has been a phenomenal opening weekend performer. The Sunday collections are projected to be around ₹54.5 crore, up around 50 percent on the previous day, according to early estimates.
| Day | India Net Collection (Approx) | Status |
| Day 1 (Friday) | ₹30.00 Cr | Blockbuster Start |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | ₹36.50 Cr | Strong Growth |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | ₹54.50 Cr | Monstrous Jump |
| Total (3 Days) | ₹121.00 Cr | 100 Cr Club Entry |
Key Performance Highlights
The ₹100 Crore Club: Border 2 has become the quickest film of 2026 to gain entry to the ₹100 crore club, over just three days.
Occupancy: The picture recorded an extraordinary overall occupancy of 62.5% on Sunday, and its evening and night rotas in major circuits, such as Delhi-NCR and Punjab, have managed a staggering 80%-90%.
Global Reach: Thanks to a strong show in overseas markets worldwide, the total volume in gross has already surpassed the ₹160 crore figure.
Why the Film is Flying
Nostalgia along with patriotism and star-studded cast Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty have blended into a ‘perfect storm’ at the ticket windows. Filmed by Anurag Singh, it has come to be a classic story on India vs Pakistan in 1971 and concentrated on how the Army, Navy, and Air Force came together, all part of a unit that resonated well with family and mass circuits alike. With the day being Republic Day (Monday), trade analysts say that another substantial day in the long time horizon awaits and that the 4-day long weekend total may move further up to ₹175 crore.
