Background
Meanwhile, Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3, which released on January 30, opened with Rs 3.8 crore on its first day.
However, the new release does not appear to have significantly impacted Border 2's box office momentum.
The film features an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh and Medha Rana.
Directed by Anurag Singh, the patriotic war drama serves as a sequel to JP Dutta's 1997 blockbuster Border. It has been produced by Nidhi Dutta, daughter of JP Dutta, along with Bhushan Kumar.
