Border 2 Day 1 Box Office Collection
Border 2 received largely positive reviews and earned Rs 30 crore on its first day in India, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The war drama recorded an overall occupancy of 32.1 per cent on opening day, with night shows drawing the highest footfall.
It was screened in nearly 6,000 shows across the country, including 1,015 in Mumbai and 1,524 in the Delhi-NCR region, as reported by trade sources.
The film's opening is comparable to Dhurandhar, which released on December 5 and collected Rs 28 crore on day one across 6,146 shows nationwide. That film went on to witness steady growth over its first weekend, thanks to positive word of mouth. Border 2 is expected to see a similar trend, particularly after audience reactions described it as an "epic war drama."
