Border 2 is proving to be a massive box office success, showing no signs of slowing down after its impressive opening. The patriotic action drama, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, has raced past the Rs 65 crore mark in India within just two days of its release.
Day 2 Collection Figures
According to box office tracking platform Sacnilk, Border 2 minted an impressive Rs 36.7 crore on Saturday, January 24, 2026. This strong performance has brought the film's total domestic collection to Rs 66.7 crore, comfortably crossing the Rs 60 crore milestone.
Occupancy and Audience Response
The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 41.58% on Saturday, with night shows witnessing maximum occupancy of 61.70%. Industry experts attribute this strong performance to positive word-of-mouth and the extended Republic Day weekend, which is expected to boost collections further.
Industry Predictions and Regional Performance
Kamal Gianchandani, CEO of PVR INOX Pictures, has predicted that Border 2 will likely cross the Rs 150 crore mark by Monday. "The film has opened quite big and the word-of-mouth is positive," Gianchandani told PTI. "We're seeing particularly good response from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Mumbai. The film is resonating well with audiences in these markets."
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh echoed similar sentiments, noting on social media platform X: "Powered by glowing word of mouth, the numbers are expected to jump on Saturday and Sunday, with the Republic Day holiday on Monday likely to deliver the biggest numbers of its extended weekend."
Comparisons with Previous Hits
Border 2 is being compared to Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which was the biggest hit of 2025 and the highest-grossing Hindi film in a single language of all time. The Ranveer Singh-starrer had minted Rs 60 crore within two days of its release, a milestone that Border 2 has now surpassed.
About the Film
Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is the sequel to J.P. Dutta's 1997 blockbuster Border. The film features an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in lead roles. The extended Republic Day weekend and positive audience response are expected to propel the film to even greater box office heights in the coming days.
