Border 2 Box Office Update (Day 18–19): Strong Total Pushes Collection Past ₹426 Crore

Border 2, the sequel to the classic war film directed by Anurag Singh and featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, continues to perform at the box office more than three weeks after its release. Though its daily earnings have tapered off compared to the first and second weeks, the film’s overall global tally remains impressive, exceeding ₹426 crore in gross collections.

Released on January 23, 2026, Border 2 capitalised on the Republic Day holiday, opening with a strong turnout and recording significant weekend figures. Initial days saw hundreds of crores in earnings, contributing to a powerful first-week total exceeding ₹224 crore. The extended opening weekend, including the Republic Day holiday boost, helped the film cement its position as a major release early in the year.

As the film entered its third week, weekday collections began to slow, a common pattern for most major releases after the initial rush. According to recent box office trackers, Day 18 saw modest domestic earnings of around ₹2 crore, while Day 19 brought in an estimated ₹2.8–₹3.3 crore net within India. Despite these lower weekday figures, the cumulative box office remained well over the ₹426 crore mark worldwide.

Trade analysts point out that while the film’s collection pace has eased, the sustained audience interest especially in mass markets and regional circuits has helped keep the overall total high. Border 2 has drawn viewers interested in patriotic storytelling and high-impact action sequences, contributing to steady even if lowerreturns on weekdays.

Within India alone, net box office figures have also built a strong base. The film’s domestic tally stands around the ₹314–₹315 crore region after accounting for taxes and local market reporting, demonstrating robust local support even as it transitions beyond the opening weeks.

Analysts observe that while the third-week decline is noticeable, the film’s cumulative achievement reflects both its strong initial pull and its continued appeal among certain audience segments. War dramas and patriotic themes often display sustained interest in tier-II and III markets, even when overall occupancy declines in major cities.

Looking ahead, Border 2 is expected to continue earning through the tail end of its theatrical run, though daily numbers are unlikely to rebound to the levels seen at the box office peak. Its performance so far secures it as one of the significant Hindi cinema releases of 2026 in terms of global earnings.
