Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 6: Sunny Deol’s film has hit a speed bump after a strong opening at the box office on Friday. The film debuted with Rs 30 crore on Friday and continued its momentum over the weekend, collecting Rs 54.5 crore on Sunday and reaching its highest collection of Rs 59 crore on Monday. However, the revenue dipped sharply on Wednesday, with the film earning just Rs 13 crore in early estimates, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.
The film benefited from the extended Republic Day weekend, which helped boost its overall numbers. Despite the midweek slowdown, Border 2 has already crossed the Rs 200 crore mark and remains on track to eye the Rs 300 crore club.

Taran Adarsh Calls Border 2 A Blockbuster
Indian film critic Taran Adarsh has already said that the film is a blockbuster. “It’s a blockbuster. Border 2 roars on crucial Tuesday. After posting an extraordinary total in its 4-day extended weekend, Border2 smashed it out of the stadium on the all-important Tuesday – a regular working day,” he wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Adarsh added that this success at the box office is despite the film not opting for discounted ticket rates on Tuesday.
Border 2, co-written and directed by Anurag Singh, is a sequel to JP Dutta’s 1997 Border. It is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta under the banners of T-Series Films and JP Films. Set against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, the film has star-studded cast of Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.
