Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 11: Major Drop as Film Approaches ₹400 Crore Worldwide
Sunny Deol's highly anticipated war drama, Border 2, continues its theatrical journey with a significant slowdown on its eleventh day. The Indo-Pakistan conflict film, which has been performing strongly at the box office, experienced a sharp decline in its earnings on the second Monday of release.
Day 11 Collection Details and Decline
On Day 11, Border 2 managed to rake in approximately ₹5.75 crore net in India. This marks a substantial drop of about 74.44% compared to its Day 10 collection of ₹22.5 crore net. The film's momentum has clearly been affected by the working weekday, a common trend for major releases after their opening weekends.
Cumulative Box Office Performance
Despite the recent dip, Border 2 maintains an impressive overall tally. The film's total net earnings in India now stand at ₹281 crore. Globally, the war drama has amassed ₹380.75 crore in worldwide box office collections. This includes an India gross of ₹335.75 crore and approximately ₹45 crore from overseas markets. The film is steadily approaching the coveted ₹400 crore mark worldwide.
Box Office Journey and Clash Recap
Border 2 has demonstrated a solid run since its release on 23 January. The film opened strongly with ₹30 crore on its first day and built momentum over the opening weekend, peaking at ₹54.5 crore on Sunday. It closed its first week with ₹224.25 crore net domestically.
The star-studded cast, featuring Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty alongside Sunny Deol, has contributed to its appeal. Initially, the film clashed with Ranveer Singh's blockbuster Dhurandhar at the box office. However, with Dhurandhar now out of the race and Mardaani 3 underperforming, Border 2 faces no major competition currently.
In its second weekend, the film showed improvement, earning ₹17.75 crore on Saturday and ₹22.5 crore on Sunday, which were its highest earning days of that week. The overall performance remains strong despite the expected weekday slowdowns.
Day 11 Occupancy Rates and Regional Performance
Border 2 registered an overall occupancy rate of 11.31% in theatres on Day 11. The footfall varied throughout the day:
- Morning shows recorded the lowest occupancy at 5.67%
- Afternoon shows improved to 11.94%
- Evening shows peaked at 13.40%
- Night shows had the maximum occupancy at 14.22%
Region-wise, the film recorded modest occupancy across key markets:
- Delhi NCR maintained the top spot with 1,208 shows and 12.5% occupancy
- Mumbai followed with 617 shows and 13% occupancy
- Ahmedabad had 564 shows with 10.5% occupancy
- Jaipur stood out with the highest overall occupancy of 20.25% across 177 shows
- Other markets like Pune (324 shows), Bengaluru (234 shows), and Lucknow (229 shows) recorded occupancies in the 10-13.75% range
- Markets such as Kolkata, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, and Surat continued to see lower footfalls despite healthy show counts
The film's box office journey reflects the typical pattern of major Bollywood releases, with strong opening weekends followed by weekday declines. As Border 2 approaches the ₹400 crore global milestone, industry observers are keenly watching its performance in the coming days.
