Border 2 Creates Box Office History with Record-Breaking Opening
Released just ahead of the 2026 Republic Day celebrations, the highly anticipated war drama Border 2 has taken the Indian box office by storm. Featuring an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh, the film has shattered records with its phenomenal opening performance.
Massive Box Office Collection in Just Eight Days
Within a mere eight days of its theatrical release, Border 2 has amassed an impressive collection of over Rs 230 crore nationwide. This remarkable achievement has not only established the film as a major commercial success but has also provided lead star Sunny Deol with significant cause for celebration.
Sunny Deol's Heartwarming Celebration with Team
The veteran actor recently shared a delightful video on social media capturing the joyous moment he and his team celebrated the film's extraordinary success. The footage shows Deol and his crew gathered together, radiating happiness and camaraderie as they mark this significant milestone.
In a creative twist on traditional celebrations, Deol and his team members sang 'Happy Border To You' instead of the usual birthday song, adding a personal touch to their festivities. The actor sat before a beautifully decorated chocolate cake and a box of traditional Indian sweets, with the cake featuring the heartfelt message 'Congratulations Border 2' accompanied by a hand-drawn heart.
As the celebratory song filled the room, Sunny Deol cut the first piece of cake while his team members watched with beaming smiles. In a particularly endearing moment, the actor playfully asked his team, 'Mereko koi Khila dega kya?' (Will someone feed me?), showcasing his warm and approachable nature.
Special Moments and Heartfelt Gratitude
The celebration included touching gestures from team members, with one individual affectionately called 'Bahubali Ji' presenting Sunny Deol with a beautiful bouquet. The two shared a warm embrace, symbolizing the strong bonds formed during the film's production.
In another video shared on his social media platforms, Sunny Deol expressed profound gratitude to audiences for their overwhelming support. The actor emotionally stated, 'Awaaz kahan tak gai? Aapke dilon tak. Thank you very much, love you all.' (How far did the sound reach? To your hearts. Thank you very much, love you all.)
His accompanying caption further emphasized this appreciation: 'Meri, aapki, Hamari #Border2 ko itna pyaar dene ke liye, aap sab ko bohot' followed by heart symbols, acknowledging the collective love showered upon the film.
