Trade analysts expect collections to surge further on Day 4, which coincides with the Republic Day holiday, giving the film another major boost at the ticket counters.
Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is a spiritual successor to J.P. Dutta’s 1997 cult classic Border. While the original focused on a single battle, the new film expands its canvas across multiple fronts of the 1971 India–Pakistan war, showcasing the coordinated might of the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy.
The film boasts a powerful ensemble cast featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. Blending patriotism, emotion, and high-octane action, Border 2 has struck a strong chord with audiences across the country.
With packed theatres, strong word of mouth, and a holiday advantage, the film is poised to continue its dream run at the box office in the days ahead.
