Border 2 box office collection continues to show resilience despite a gradual weekday slowdown, as Sunny Deol’s multi-starrer war drama narrowly missed entering the list of the top 10 highest opening-week collections of all time for Hindi cinema. The film, which released during the Republic Day extended weekend, has so far amassed ₹235.25 crore in eight days, according to industry tracker Sacnilk, underlining its strong theatrical pull even amid fresh competition.
The Anurag Singh-directed film benefitted massively from the national holiday window, posting historic early numbers. However, marginal weekday drops have kept it just short of breaking into the elite Top 10 list, where Hrithik Roshan’s War currently holds the 10th position.

Border 2 box office collection Day 8 performance
After a blockbuster start, Border 2 has witnessed a slow but steady decline in daily earnings. On Friday, January 30, the film collected ₹11 crore, registering a slight 2.22% drop from Thursday’s figures.
With this, the total collection at the end of Day 8 stands at ₹235.25 crore net. Trade analysts expect the film to regain momentum over the weekend despite facing competition from newer releases.
Border 2 box office collection Week 1 breakdown
While opening-day numbers often dominate headlines, a film’s first-week performance is widely considered the true indicator of its box office sustainability. Border 2 delivered a powerful opening week driven by holiday advantage and strong word of mouth.
The film opened with ₹30 crore net on Friday, followed by healthy growth on Saturday at ₹36.5 crore. Sunday saw an impressive jump of nearly 50%, with collections touching ₹54.5 crore net.
The biggest highlight came on Monday, which coincided with Republic Day. Defying the usual weekday trend, the film earned a record-breaking ₹59 crore net, marking the highest first-Monday collection ever for a Hindi film.
Collections corrected sharply on Tuesday, falling to ₹20 crore net, a drop of 66.1%. The downward trend continued on Wednesday with ₹13 crore net, followed by a further dip on Thursday to ₹11.25 crore. This brought the seven-day total to ₹224.25 crore net.
Border 2 misses Top 10 all-time opening week list
The updated list of the highest opening-week collections for Hindi films features several recent releases from 2025 and 2026. Border 2 has debuted at the 11th position, missing the Top 10 cutoff by less than ₹5 crore.
Despite falling short, the film has pushed Chhaava and Dhurandhar to the 12th and 13th positions respectively. At the top of the list, Pushpa 2: The Rule remains unbeatable with a staggering ₹425.6 crore opening week. Only Pushpa 2, Pathaan, and Jawan have crossed the ₹340 crore mark in their first seven days.
