Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 5: Sunny Deol Film Storms Past Rs 200 Crore Milestone

Sunny Deol-starrer Border 2 is enjoying a dream run at the box office, showing no signs of slowing down. The much-anticipated sequel to the 1997 blockbuster Border has not only shattered opening weekend expectations but has also delivered a phenomenal performance by Day 5 of its theatrical run.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Border 2 earned a staggering Rs 56 crore on Monday, marking its highest single-day collection so far. The film followed this up with a solid Rs 23.21 crore haul on Tuesday. With these numbers, the film’s total domestic box office collection has officially surged past the Rs 200 crore mark within five days.

The war drama opened to an extraordinary first weekend. It began its run on Friday with Rs 30 crore, witnessed a strong

jump on Saturday with Rs 36.5 crore, and peaked on Sunday with an impressive Rs 54.5 crore. This massive surge represented a 49.32% jump in earnings, pushing the opening weekend total to Rs 121 crore.

Day 4 turned out to be a game-changer for the film. Benefiting from the Republic Day holiday and strong word of mouth, Border 2 clocked Rs 56 crore on Monday, its biggest haul yet. The robust performance highlights the film’s strong emotional connect with mass audiences, especially during the patriotic holiday period.
With the current momentum, trade experts believe the Sunny Deol-led film will continue its strong run and further consolidate its position as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

Border 2 overtakes Dhurandhar, but falls short of a few records

In the process, Border 2 has also surpassed the opening weekend collections of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar. As per Sacnilk, Dhurandhar earned Rs 103 crore in its first three days, a figure that Border 2 comfortably crossed during its opening weekend itself.

The film’s opening-day collection of Rs 30 crore also edged past Dhurandhar, which opened at Rs 28 crore in December 2025. However, Border 2 narrowly missed beating the opening-day records of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava (Rs 32 crore) and Sunny Deol’s own Gadar 2 (Rs 40 crore).

Despite these comparisons, Border 2 has carved its own space at the box office. News18 Showsha’s review notes, “Comparing it to Border (1997) is inevitable. The original felt raw and lived-in, powered by simplicity. Border 2 is more polished, louder and far more ambitious. It doesn’t quite recreate the magic of the first, but it doesn’t disrespect it either. Instead, it feels like a modern extension, messier at times, broader in vision, but driven by the same emotional intent.”

The review further adds, “Border 2 isn’t perfect. It’s indulgent, occasionally overlong and visually uneven in parts. But it’s also sincere, emotional and unapologetically patriotic. It reminds you why war films still work, not because of explosions, but because of the people behind the uniforms.”
