The war drama Border 2, starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, experienced a significant drop in box office collections on its second Monday, February 2, 2026. After a successful run for the first ten days, the film's earnings saw a major crash.
Day 11 Box Office Numbers
Early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk indicate that Border 2 collected approximately ₹5.75 crore on its eleventh day. Other reports suggest even lower numbers, with collections around ₹3.88 crore net in India. According to Sacnilk, the day 11 box office collection is estimated at ₹0.61 crore net in India. This marks a considerable decline compared to the second Sunday, where the film earned ₹22.5 crore. The drop is attributed to the typical second-Monday slowdown after a strong weekend boost. Morning occupancy on day 11 was recorded at 5.67%, resulting in ₹50 lakhs from morning shows.
Overall Box Office Performance
Despite the Monday drop, Border 2 has performed well overall since its release on January 23, 2026, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend. The film had a decent opening, collecting ₹30 crore on its first day. It benefitted from the Republic Day holiday, with collections soaring to ₹59 crore. By the end of its first week, Border 2 had amassed ₹224.25 crore.
The total domestic box office collection after 11 days is estimated to be between ₹275.25 crore and ₹281 crore. The film has already surpassed several Bollywood hits and is expected to challenge the lifetime earnings of War and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Critical Reception
Border 2 has generally received positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh lauded the movie as "OUTSTANDING," giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars, praising Sunny Deol and director Anurag Singh. Bollywood Hungama also gave it 4.5 stars, complimenting its writing, direction, and performances.
Budget and Break-Even Point
Border 2 was made on an approximate budget of ₹275 crore. To be considered a clean hit, the film needs to amass ₹300 crore.
