Border 2, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahaan Shetty, had a solid day on the Indian box office, and with night shows yet to conclude, early trends suggest that day 1 has touched the 30 crore mark. Riding on nostalgia and the sequel factor, the film attracted good footfalls at theaters, marking the primary big opening for Bollywood in 2026. It even surpassed an all-time blockbuster, Dhurandhar, which opened at 28.6 crore net.
Border 2 is off to a solid start on the Indian box office!
Keeping Gadar 2’s bumper opening (40.1 crore net) as a reference point and considering the resurgence of Sunny Deol’s pull among the many masses, the Border sequel was initially expected to attain massively on the opening day. Nevertheless, with pre-sales not reaching the extent of Gadar 2, it was clear that the beginning can be strong but won’t be near the 40 crore mark. In our prediction report, we predicted a start of 30-33 crore net for the film, and that’s exactly what happened.
As per early trends flowing, Border 2 is heading for a day 1 of 30-32 crore net on the Indian box office. It benefited from a vacation in states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Bihar, and West Bengal. The performance within the aforementioned states, in addition to the remaining ones, is prone to improve over the weekend, as initial word of mouth is favorable. After all, the euphoria of Gadar 2 is missing, which clocked the 40 crore mark despite a clash; still, a variety of 30 crores or barely more is solid and sets the stage to blow up over the weekend.
Records the 2nd biggest opening for Sunny Deol
With 30-32 crores coming in, Border 2 has registered the second-biggest opening for Sunny Deol. It surpassed Jaat (9.62 crore net) by an enormous margin to assert the second spot. The list is topped by Gadar 2.
Take a have a look at the highest openers of Sunny Deol:
- Gadar 2 – 40.1 crores
- Border 2 – 30-32 crores (estimates)
- Jaat – 9.62 crores
- Yamla Pagla Deewana – 7.75 crores
