Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Marking a promising start for 2026, something it couldn’t achieve last time, Bollywood has kicked off the year with a box-office banger, director Anurag Singh’s epic war actioner Border 2, which has already entered the Rs 100 crore club in India in just three days and has now stormed past Rs 150 crore mark globally. Interestingly, the movie is faring better than Aditya Dhar’s Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar, hinting that Border 2 has the potential to emerge as an even bigger blockbuster as it looks to improve its earnings on Republic Day today.
On Sunday, the war actioner recorded an India nett collection of Rs 54.5 crore, marking a significant increase in its revenue compared to Saturday (Rs 36.5 crore). With this, the movie’s total domestic collection has reached Rs 121 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Th film has earned Rs 16 crore worldwide, bringing its wprldwide gross to Rs 158.5 crore. Featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in key roles, the Anurag Singh directorial is a sequel to legendary filmmaker JP Dutta’s 1997 all-time blockbuster, headlined by Sunny himself.

While Border 2 opened to Rs 30 crore, higher than Dhurandhar’s Rs 28 crore, it significantly improved its performance on day two, registering an India nett collection of Rs 36.5 crore, while the Ranveer Singh-starrer’s earnings stood at Rs 32 crore. Now, the Sunny Deol-led epic war actioner has outperformed Dhurandhar for the third day in a row, earning Rs 54.5 crore against the latter’s Rs 43 crore on their first Sunday in theatres.
During the day, Border 2 witnessed an overall occupancy of 59.14 per cent in the Hindi market. While the morning shows commenced with 31.46 per cent occupancy, the rate improved drastically as the day unfolded, reaching 68.93 per cent in the afternoon, 77.03 per cent in the evening, and peaking at 67.5per cent during night screenings.
Border 2’s strong and steady run has come as a relief for Sunny Deol, as his last outing, Jaat, underperformed at the box office, grossing just Rs 118.36 crore worldwide during its theatrical run. At the current rate, Border 2 is poised to surpass Jaat on day four itself. Meanwhile, the movie has offered an even bigger respite for Varun Dhawan, whose career had been on a steady decline for the past few years, with back-to-back box-office bombs and not a single success since Bhediya, which too wasn’t a massive hit.
