The war drama Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, continues its successful run at the box office, recovering its production budget within just ten days of release. The film, a sequel to the 1997 Border, stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.
India Box Office Collection
Border 2 has performed well in India, earning an estimated ₹22.50 crore on its tenth day across all languages. The film's net collection in India stands at over ₹275 crore. After a dip in earnings, day 10, which was the second Sunday, saw a renewed surge.
Worldwide Box Office Collection
The film has crossed ₹370 crore in worldwide collections. Within ten days of release, Border 2 has grossed ₹372 crore worldwide. The overseas business accounts for ₹43 crore, while the gross domestic collection is ₹329 crore.
Budget and Breakeven
Reportedly made with a budget of ₹275 crore, Border 2 has already surpassed its production cost. Typically, an Indian movie needs to earn twice its budget to break even due to revenue sharing between producers, exhibitors, and distributors. However, pre-release recoveries through satellite, OTT, and music rights can lower the theatrical break-even point.
Box Office Records and Milestones
Border 2 has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian war film of all time. It has surpassed the box office records of its predecessor, Border (1997), and other major war films like Haqeeqat (1964), Lalkar (1972), LOC: Kargil (2003), Lakshya (2004), Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), and Kesari (2019).
Day 10 Performance Compared to Other Films
Border 2 earned ₹22.5 crore on Day 10, placing it 15th among Hindi films with the highest tenth-day collections. Topping the list are films like Pushpa 2 (₹46 crore), Chhaava (₹40 crore), and Gadar 2 (₹38.9 crore).
Eyes on ₹400 Crore Club
Riding on positive audience reception and a strong box office performance, Border 2 is now aiming to enter the prestigious ₹400 crore club worldwide. The film's continued success in the coming days will determine its ultimate box office fate.
