Border 2 Box Office Day 20: Sunny Deol's War Epic Hits ₹316 Crore Net; Set for Box Office Clash with O Romeo and Tu Yaa Main

The Sunny Deol-starrer Border 2 continues its triumphant run at the domestic box office. Entering its 20th day of theatrical release, the sequel to the 1997 cult classic has shown remarkable holding power, especially in the mass circuits. As of its third Wednesday, the film has managed to cross the monumental milestone of ₹316 Crore Net in India, proving that the audience's appetite for patriotic war dramas remains as strong as ever. The third-week performance of the film has been particularly impressive for its resilience. After a strong second week which closed at ₹70.15 Crore, the movie saw a significant jump during its third weekend, collecting ₹5.25 Crore on Saturday and peaking at ₹7.25 Crore on Sunday. While the weekdays saw a natural dip, the film collected a steady ₹1.75 Crore on Day 20. Globally, Border 2 is making waves as well, with a total India Gross of ₹377 Crore and an Overseas collection of ₹55 Crore, pushing its Worldwide Gross total to a staggering ₹432 Crore. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film's success is attributed not only to Sunny Deol's iconic return as a war hero but also to the fresh energy brought in by the ensemble cast, including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The film has successfully balanced nostalgia with modern cinematic scale, allowing it to dominate the box office for nearly three weeks without any significant competition. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   However, the solo dominance of Border 2 is set to face a fresh challenge starting tomorrow, February 13th. With the arrival of the romantic drama O Romeo and the urban entertainer Tu Yaa Main just in time for the Valentine's Day weekend, the war epic will finally have to share its screens. While these new releases are expected to take up significant space in urban multiplexes, industry trends suggest that Border 2 will continue to find strong footfalls in single screens and B-tier centers where the Sunny Deol factor remains a major draw. As the film enters its fourth week, all eyes will be on how it holds its ground against the new competition. Despite the screen reduction, the momentum gathered over the last 20 days suggests that Border 2 is well on its way to reaching even higher benchmarks before its theatrical run concludes.

Border 2 Box Office: Sunny Deol's War Drama Tops 300 Crore Net

Mumbai, February 7 - Sunny Deol's war drama Border 2 started the third weekend on a decent note and is set to cross 300 crores net mark at the domestic box office on its third Saturday. The Anurag Singh-directed film is already the highest-grossing Indian title of the year. On its third Friday, Border 2 minted approximately 5.25 crores net, pushing total domestic net collection to 302 crores in 16 days. The blockbuster sequel became only the second movie of Sunny Deol after Gadar 2 and the first for Varun Dhawan to surpass 300 crores net mark domestically. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Border 2 opened to superb numbers before exploding over the Republic Day weekend and holding strong on Tuesday. However, a bigger-than-expected drop on weekdays and during the second weekend, even though the overall numbers remain decent, has slowed down the trajectory, which has ruled out its chances of crossing 500 crore or even 400 crore net lifetime run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The third weekend of Border 2 is expected to be around 15 crores, with the lifetime domestic net now heading towards finishing somewhere between 325-350 crores. Worldwide, the movie has minted around 407 crores in 15 days, heading to finish in the range of 450 crores gross. As said, irrespective of where Border 2 finishes from now on, it is already a box office success, continuing to showcase Sunny Deol's immense pull among the masses when it comes to patriotic cinema. Earlier in 2023, the veteran actor created a sensation with Gadar 2, which went on to become one of the biggest Hindi grossers of all time. Stay tuned...

As per the 13-day data, Border 2 has demonstrated exceptional legs at the box office. The domestic net collection stood at ₹290.9 Crore, while the India gross reached ₹347.5 Crore. The film's reach extended significantly to international markets as well, where it raked in an overseas collection of ₹51 Crore.

Gabru Postponed: Sunny Deol and Salman Khan Starrer Vacates March 13 Release Slot; Details Inside

Gabru, the highly anticipated action-drama starring Sunny Deol with a significant extended cameo by Salman Khan, has officially been postponed. Originally slated for a theatrical release on March 13, 2026, the makers have decided to push the film's arrival to a later date. This development adds to a shifting March 2026 box office calendar, which has seen multiple high-profile projects moving their release windows. Gabru Release Date Postponed: The Reason Behind the Shift In an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, it has been revealed that the Shashank Udapurkar directorial will no longer arrive on its previously locked date. While the makers are yet to announce a new release date, trade sources suggest the decision is strategic. The mid-March window coincides with the start of the holy month of Ramzan, which often leads to a dip in theatrical footfalls. Additionally, the industry is bracing for a massive box office clash on March 19, when Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic are scheduled to hit the screens. Given Sunny Deol's incredible recent track record with blockbusters like Border 2 and Gadar 2, the production team is reportedly aiming for a solo release window that can maximize the film's potential at the box office. One of the biggest talking points for Gabru remains the extended special appearance of Salman Khan. The superstar reportedly shot his portions over a year ago. Far from a blink-and-miss appearance, Salman Khan is set to appear in three key scenes, described as an adorable and highly entertaining part of the narrative. The collaboration between Sunny Deol and Salman Khan has created immense buzz, and the producers are keen to ensure the film gets the widest possible release without being crowded by other major releases. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana, Gabru is mounted as a high-octane action-drama that leverages the legendary screen presence of Sunny Deol. While specific plot details remain closely guarded by the production house, the film is reported to be an emotional yet gritty narrative where Salman Khan's character plays a pivotal, heart-filled role. Verified reports indicate that Salman Khan's character is expected to bring a significant emotional anchor to the film, making this collaboration one of the most anticipated on-screen reunions in recent years. Conclusion: Avoiding the Box Office Storm The postponement of Gabru marks a growing trend of release date flight in the first half of March. The industry is currently bracing for a massive box office storm on March 19, when Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Yash's Toxic are set to collide in a historic clash. By backing away from the March 13 slot, the makers of Gabru—along with the producers of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do—are clearly looking to avoid the screen-sharing crunch and limited theatrical window that these two mega-budget films will inevitably create. For a film like Gabru, which relies on the strong theatrical momentum Sunny Deol has built with Gadar 2 and Border 2, securing a clean, solo release window is a strategic necessity to ensure maximum reach.

Dhurandhar Day 57: Ranveer Singh's Spy Juggernaut Refuses to Slow Down Despite Netflix Debut & Border 2 Storm

The box office journey of Dhurandhar is nothing short of a cinematic miracle. As the film enters its 9th Friday (Day 57), it continues to rake in the moolah, recording a steady collection of ₹0.25 Crore. While most films lose their breath by the fourth week, this Aditya Dhar-directed spy thriller is proving that it has a never-say-die attitude, even in the face of massive digital and theatrical competition. What makes this Day 57 performance truly extraordinary is the timing. Dhurandhar officially began streaming on Netflix on January 30 (yesterday). Conventionally, the moment a blockbuster hits an OTT platform, its theatrical occupancy crashes to zero. However, the Dhurandhar Craze is so intense that audiences are still choosing the big-screen experience over the comfort of their couches. The film is currently trending at No. 1 in India on Netflix, yet the ticket counters at multiplexes remain busy, showing the immense repeat value of this Ranveer Singh starrer. The resilience of the film is further highlighted by the ongoing Border 2 juggernaut. Despite Sunny Deol's war epic dominating the majority of screens and capturing the patriotic pulse of the nation, Dhurandhar has managed to retain its own dedicated audience. It is rare to see two massive films of the same genre—high-octane action and patriotism—co-existing so successfully. While Border 2 is bringing in the masses, Dhurandhar is sustaining its legacy as a long-term blockbuster. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   To put this ₹0.25 Crore Day 57 collection into perspective, one must look at the historical benchmarks. When compared to the biggest industry titans at the same stage of their release, Dhurandhar stands tall. On their 57th day, legendary hits like Jawan and Dangal were struggling to stay above the ₹0.05 Crore mark. Even the mighty Baahubali 2 (Hindi) had slowed down to approximately ₹0.10 Crore by its 9th Friday. By earning double those figures, Dhurandhar has officially entered the league of the most consistent long-run performers in Indian cinema history. The film's dominance isn't just restricted to the Indian borders. As per the latest streaming data, #Dhurandhar is trending in multiple countries worldwide. It has secured the No. 1 spot in India, No. 7 in Qatar, and No. 8 in Bahrain. The surge in Middle Eastern markets is particularly noteworthy; since the film faced theatrical restrictions in certain Gulf regions due to its bold geopolitical narrative, fans in those countries are now flocking to Netflix to finally witness the spectacle. As it stands, Dhurandhar is no longer just a movie; it is a cultural phenomenon. With its combined success on the big screen and its explosive debut on Netflix, the film is on track to set a Total Gross record that might remain unbeaten for years to come. Whether it's the 70mm screen or the smartphone screen, the world is currently under the spell of the Dhurandhar wave.
