Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 7
Border 2 is estimated to touch around ₹255–260 crore worldwide by the end of day 7, with India net edging towards the ₹220 crore mark, according to early Sacnilk-based trade tracking.
For a film releasing on 23 January 2026 and riding straight into the Republic Day wave, that kind of week‑one hold shows strong repeat value in metros as well as mass belts.
The weekday dip after the extended weekend was expected, but the single‑screen crowd, especially in North and West India, is still turning up for the war drama tone, songs, and full‑scale action.
Many exhibitors are also reporting that late evening shows are performing better than the afternoon ones, which usually happens when word‑of‑mouth kicks in and people start recommending it in casual conversations and office chats.
A small example: in several big-city multiplex chains, Tuesday and Wednesday night shows managed healthier occupancy than the morning shows, even though ticket prices were lower in the daytime. That pattern signals genuine audience interest rather than just a long-weekend spike.
Border 2 Box Office Collection Daywise
Daywise trend for Border 2 shows a classic “holiday plus word‑of‑mouth” curve, with a big Sunday–Republic Day jump before sliding into normal weekdays. Sacnilk data and aligned trade estimates indicate:
-
Day 1 (Thu, 23 Jan): around ₹30–36 crore India net, strong opening for a war film in 2026.
-
Day 2 (Fri): around ₹36–37 crore, helped by positive talk and better evening occupancy.
-
Day 3 (Sat): around ₹54–55 crore, almost 50% growth from Saturday as family audiences joined in.
-
Day 4 (Sun/Republic Day window): about ₹59 crore, the film’s best single day so far.
-
Day 5 (Mon/weekday start): a sharp correction to roughly ₹20 crore as holiday buzz cooled.
-
Day 6 (Tue): early estimates point to around ₹13 crore, with all‑India Hindi occupancy in the 16–17% range.
-
Day 7 (Wed, today): projected to land in high single‑digits to low teens (₹10–12 crore range) as per current trend, taking India net beyond ₹220 crore and worldwide over ₹295 crore.
Overall, Sacnilk pegs the India net around ₹213 crore after 5–6 days and worldwide near ₹295 crore, and the day‑7 trend suggests a stable, front‑loaded but not collapsing run. That is the kind of graph generally associated with films that connect emotionally with their target audience, even if urban reviews are a bit mixed.
About Border 2
Border 2 is a 2026 Hindi war drama set against the 1971 India–Pakistan conflict, releasing in theatres on 23 January 2026. It serves as a spiritual follow‑up to the iconic 1997 film Border, expanding the canvas with multiple fronts, modern staging, and a new ensemble cast led by Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.
Trade trackers note that the film has been mounted on a large scale, with an estimated budget in the big‑ticket zone and an extensive screen count of around 4,800 in India alone, plus a wide overseas rollout.
Reaction in early days has been a mix of nostalgia and big‑screen spectacle, with viewers responding strongly to the patriotic sequences and large‑format action, especially around Republic Day.
With India net already crossing the ₹200‑crore line in the first five days and worldwide collections nearing the ₹300‑crore mark, Border 2 is now firmly placed as one of the major Hindi box‑office events of early 2026, and the week‑one day‑7 numbers only reinforce that position.
