Border 2 has officially turned the Republic Day 2026 weekend into a historic box-office moment. Led by Sunny Deol, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, the war epic has not just sustained momentum—it has accelerated at unprecedented levels, delivering one of the most explosive extended weekends Bollywood has seen in years.
After opening strong on Friday with Rs 32.1 crore, the film witnessed a massive jump on Saturday, collecting Rs 40.59 crore. Sunday pushed the numbers even higher, with Rs 57.2 crore, taking the three-day weekend total to Rs 129.89 crore. And just when trade experts expected a stabilisation, Border 2 delivered its biggest shock yet.
Day 4 Republic Day Numbers Shock Trade Circles
According to early estimates and industry tracking, Border 2 recorded another massive spike on Monday (Republic Day)—despite already running at peak levels over the weekend.
Current estimates place Day 4 collections in the range of Rs 60–62 crore, a figure rarely seen on a film’s fourth day. This takes the total four-day India net collection to approximately Rs 189 crore, firmly positioning the film as a certified blockbuster within its opening extended weekend.
Peaking on Day 4 is considered a rare and historic box-office phenomenon, underlining the film’s extraordinary word-of-mouth and mass appeal.
Single Screens and Mass Centres Drive the Surge
What makes Border 2’s run even more remarkable is where the growth is coming from. On Republic Day, the film ran at record occupancy levels in single screens, particularly across Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres.
Sunny Deol’s return to a full-throttle patriotic action avatar has struck a powerful chord with family audiences and mass belts, echoing the legacy of the original Border while delivering modern-scale spectacle. The film’s strong hold across smaller towns suggests longevity beyond the initial holiday rush.
Rs 200 Crore Club Just a Day Away
With collections already nearing Rs 190 crore in four days, Border 2 is expected to cross the Rs 200 crore mark on Tuesday, entering the elite club at a pace that few films manage—even during holiday periods.
The coming weekdays will now determine how far the film can go, but given its extraordinary Republic Day performance, trade experts believe Border 2 has the potential to scale even bigger milestones in the weeks ahead.
Jay-Ho Highlights
Border 2 is no longer just a hit—it’s an outright phenomenon. Peaking on its fourth day, powered by mass circuits and patriotic fervour, the film has already stamped itself as 2026’s first mega blockbuster.
All eyes are now on the weekday hold, which will decide whether Border 2 merely dominates the season—or goes on to rewrite box-office history altogether.
