Border 2 Box Office Collection: Major Dip on Second Monday After Strong Start
The highly anticipated war drama Border 2, which hit theaters on January 23, 2026, strategically timed its release to capitalize on the Republic Day holiday week. This calculated move by the filmmakers paid off handsomely, as the movie enjoyed a phenomenal opening week at the box office. However, the film's impressive run faced a substantial hurdle on its eleventh day, marking a significant decline in its daily earnings.
Record-Breaking Opening and Steady Performance
As the spiritual successor to the iconic 1997 film Border, this sequel opened with a powerful Rs 30 crore on its first day. The momentum continued to build, reaching a peak on Republic Day, where it amassed a staggering Rs 59 crore in single-day collections. Following this explosive start, Border 2 maintained a steady performance, consistently pulling in double-digit figures throughout its initial run.
Day 11 Collection: A Sharp Decline
According to the latest Sacnilk report, the film experienced a dramatic drop on its second Monday (Day 11), earning approximately Rs 5.75 crore at the domestic box office. This figure represents a substantial decrease compared to its earlier daily collections. Despite this dip, the movie's total earnings in India have now reached an impressive Rs 281 crore.
