Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan’s war drama continues its strong run at the box office, crossing the ₹250-crore mark globally within just four days of release. The film witnessed a massive boost over the extended Republic Day weekend, driven by positive audience response and holiday footfalls.
Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in key roles. The film opened on a solid note with ₹30 crore net collection on Day 1, despite several morning shows being cancelled. Over the next few days, collections showed steady growth.
On Republic Day (Day 4), the film recorded its biggest domestic single-day figure so far, minting ₹59 crore net in India. With this, Border 2 has amassed ₹180 crore net (approximately ₹212.5 crore gross) at the Indian box office over its extended opening weekend.
