Sunny Deol’s highly anticipated war action film Border 2 continued its blockbuster run at the box office through its fourth day, powered by strong audience turnout and positive word of mouth. According to a detailed box office update by Indian Express, the film has now crossed the ₹175 crore mark worldwide within just four days of its release, and continues to shatter records during the extended Republic Day weekend.
Robust 4-Day Earnings and Record Momentum
Indian Express reports that Border 2 earned ₹193.48 crore in India alone in its first four days at the box office — an exceptional performance for a January release. The film’s earnings included a smashing ₹63.5 crore haul on Republic Day (Day 4), which helped push both domestic and worldwide totals significantly higher.
This surge has placed Border 2 firmly among the top performers of the year, with its global haul now around ₹250 crore according to the makers. The film’s strong weekend collection showcases how well it has resonated with audiences across regions.
Detailed Day-Wise Growth Across Theaters
Indian Express highlights Border 2’s impressive growth trajectory during its opening days:
- Day 1: ₹30 crore (India)
- Day 2: ₹36.5 crore
- Day 3: ₹54.5 crore
- Day 4: ₹63.59 crore (Republic Day)
The steady climb in daily collections reflects not only the impact of the Republic Day holiday, but also positive word of mouth and strong audience engagement — especially in mass circuits and family-oriented markets.
Strong Occupancy and Audience Response
According to the Indian Express update, Border 2 recorded strong occupancy levels across its Hindi shows on Day 4, with around 64.27% average occupancy nationwide. This includes solid midday and evening footfalls, indicating enthusiastic audience interest even on a weekday holiday.
The film’s performances across morning, afternoon, and evening screenings also reflect broad appeal across demographics — from weekday viewers to weekend families.
Breaking Records on Republic Day
On Republic Day, Border 2 delivered one of the biggest single-day collections for a Hindi film. The film’s ₹63.5 crore day total made it one of the highest-grossing Republic Day records in recent memory. While it remains just behind the all-time top mark set by Pathaan, Border 2’s Day 4 performance still places it ahead of many other high-profile releases in recent years.
Strong Worldwide Footprint
Beyond its domestic success, Border 2 has also made notable gains overseas, pushing its worldwide gross past ₹250 crore in just four days. This is a significant achievement for a Bollywood war drama and reinforces the global appeal of high-impact Indian cinema when it connects with audiences both at home and abroad.
Behind the Success: Stellar Cast and Strong Sentiment
Indian Express notes that Border 2 features a compelling ensemble including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and more, under the direction of Anurag Singh. The film’s narrative — rooted in courage, patriotism, and emotional intensity — has struck a chord with viewers and boosted repeat footfalls throughout the opening weekend.
The film also benefits from its legacy as a follow-up to J.P. Dutta’s iconic 1997 original, delivering both scale and sentiment in a way that appeals to audiences of all age groups.
What’s Next for Border 2
With such strong opening figures already on the board, trade analysts believe Border 2 still has room to grow as it heads into the first full workweek after release. If weekday momentum holds, the film could soon enter the ₹300 crore club worldwide — a milestone that would further cement its status as one of the early blockbusters of 2026.
