Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: Sunny Deol Varun Dhawan War Drama BEATS Border Opening Mints Big Numbers
Border 2, starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, has taken a thunderous start at the box office, comfortably beating the opening-day earnings of the 1997 cult classic Border. Released amid high patriotic buzz, the war drama witnessed strong footfalls from morning shows itself, especially in North India and mass circuits.
According to early trade estimates, Border 2 collected around ₹8 crore on Day 1, with the final numbers expected to go higher once evening and night show figures are added. The film’s advance bookings had already hinted at a solid opening, and the on-ground response has lived up to expectations.
Sunny Deol’s return to the patriotic action genre after Gadar 2 has clearly struck a chord with audiences, while Varun Dhawan’s intense avatar has also been praised. The Republic Day weekend release has further boosted collections, making Border 2 one of the strongest openers in the war-drama genre in recent years.
Interestingly, the Day 1 earnings of Border 2 have surpassed the opening-day numbers of the original Border, which went on to become a historic blockbuster over time. Trade analysts believe that positive word of mouth and the emotional patriotic appeal could push the film towards a massive weekend total.
With minimal competition and strong audience sentiment, Border 2 is expected to show solid growth over the next few days, putting it firmly on track for a successful box office run.
