“‘Border 2’ Day 1 Box Office Triumph: Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan Surpass ‘Dhurandhar’”
‘Border 2,’ featuring prominent actors Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, has made a tremendous impact since its theatrical release. Following a successful run by ‘Dhurandhar’ for over a month, ‘Border 2’ has entered the box office arena dramatically.
‘Border 2’ Day 1 Box Office Triumph
The much-anticipated sequel, ‘Border 2,’ debuted on around 4,500 screens globally. Advance bookings indicated a strong opening, thanks to the iconic status of the original film. As per Sacnilk reports, ‘Border 2’ amassed an impressive All-India gross of ₹12.5 crore on its first day, largely driven by the sale of over 409,000 tickets across 16,221 shows.
Opening Day Performance
- Total Gross on Day 1: ₹30 crore (early estimates)
- Advance Booking Total: ₹17.5 crore (including blocked seats)
- Hindi 2D Version Gross: ₹12.45 crore
- Dhurandhar’s Opening Day Gross: ₹28 crore
The film’s first-day performance is significant, especially as ‘Dhurandhar’ previously set a high standard. ‘Border 2’ has the potential to thrive during its opening week, particularly with the upcoming Republic Day holiday extending the weekend for moviegoers.
Future Projections
Industry analysts predict that the movie’s cumulative earnings over the extended weekend could exceed ₹125 crore. However, sustaining its initial momentum will require positive word-of-mouth. In the case of Aditya Dhar’s direction, a strong reception led to increased collections in the second week.
As ‘Dhurandhar’ currently stands at ₹830 crore, the box office landscape is competitive. ‘Border 2’ must maintain its appeal to secure a place among the top earners in Indian cinema history. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether this sequel can achieve lasting success.
