Sunny Deol Starrer Border 2 Drops to ₹19.5 Cr on Day 5 After Republic Day Boost

The war drama Border 2 — starring **Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty — experienced a significant drop in its box office collections on Day 5 (Tuesday), earning approximately ₹19.50 crore after the extended Republic Day weekend. This figure represents a sharp fall from the film’s ₹59 crore single-day haul on Republic Day (Monday), when festive holiday crowds boosted ticket sales.

Border 2 opened on 23 January 2026, strategically timed around the Republic Day holiday to capitalise on patriotic sentiment and a long weekend. The film’s first four days showed strong momentum — topping ₹30 crore on opening day and peaking with a big Monday collection — before the expected weekday slowdown.

Despite the Day 5 dip, Border 2 has nearly crossed the ₹200 crore net mark in India, with its total domestic collection at around ₹196.5 crore after five days. The film’s performance includes strong weekday support following the holiday surge, keeping it on track toward the ₹200 crore club.

Industry trackers note that such declines are typical once a film transitions from a holiday to a regular weekday box office, and Border 2’s sustained earnings reflect continued interest beyond the initial surge.
