The war action spectacle Border 2 — starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh — continued its impressive run at the indian box office on Day 8 of its theatrical release on January 30, 2026. The film, which opened with massive weekend numbers during the Republic Day holiday period, has now firmly entered the ₹230 crore+ club domestically.
🔥 1. Steady Day 8 Performance Amid Competition
On its eighth day (a Friday), Border 2 earned approximately ₹11 crore net in India, maintaining a steady hold despite the usual weekday slowdown. The collections indicate that the film is still drawing audiences, particularly in key markets.
📊 2. Cumulative Total Crosses ₹235 Crore
According to trade trackers, Border 2’s total net domestic box office has now crossed roughly ₹235 crore in its first eight days of release — a strong showing for a bollywood war film and one of the year’s top performers so far.
🎖️ 3. Republic Day Boost and Weekend Surge
The film benefited hugely from its Republic Day (January 26) release, with collections peaking mid‑week during holiday shows. Day 4 saw particularly high numbers thanks to the long weekend audience turnout.
⚠️ 4. Gradual Weekday Dip After Big Opening
After a blockbuster opening and strong initial weekend, the film saw a natural dip in collections during standard weekday releases, a common trend for big films once the holiday period ends. Despite this, Border 2 continues to hold a solid theatre presence.
🆚 5. Outshining Recent Releases
Even with new films like Mardaani 3 entering theatres, Border 2 has managed to stay unaffected and steady, showing that its audience appeal is strong enough to compete through the second week.
📈 6. On Track for ₹250 Crore Landmark
Trade analysts suggest that if the film continues its current trajectory — bolstered by weekend footfall — it is on course to approach or surpass the ₹250 crore mark soon, likely by its second saturday or Sunday.
🎬 7. Franchise Power and audience Pull
Border 2 is the sequel to the 1997 hit Border, starring sunny deol in a memorable patriotic role. Its box office strength highlights the franchise’s enduring pull, especially for audiences who enjoy large‑scale war dramas with emotional narratives and star power.
📍 Bottom Line
After a massive holiday weekend start and a steady 8‑day run, Border 2 continues to dominate the box office, racking up significant earnings amid competition. With its strong cumulative total and continued viewer interest, the film looks set for a long run and further milestones at the indian box office.
