After grossing Rs 224.25 crore by the end of week 1, the war drama Border 2 made Rs 10.75 crore on its second Friday. On Saturday, the ninth day of its release, the Bollywood blockbuster earned Rs 17.75 crore, and on Sunday so far until the afternoon, it has made Rs 9.7 crore.
According to the popular movie collection tracking website Sacnilk, Border 2's total collection now stands at Rs 262.45 crore. The movie could well collect over Rs 15 crore, as evening shows on Sundays usually attract crowds. If so, the movie could well enter the Rs 300 crore club before the next weekend. It also needs to be noted that evening and night shows have been the pillar of Border 2's box office performance to date.
A lifetime figure of Rs 500 crore nett is what Border 2 will need to achieve, especially after the hurricane start that it had. The big drop across the weekdays does hint at this being improbable, but stranger things have happened.
According to Sacnilk, the Anurag Singh-directed war spectacle has grossed over Rs 344 crore worldwide so far. It is the highest-grossing war film in history and is well on course to become a blockbuster.

For that, Border 2 will need to go past Rs 500 crore nett in India and, for now, that looks slightly difficult to attain. On its eighth day, the war drama is showing strong trends when you compare the occupancy levels to Thursday. However, there is a new release in Mardaani 3, although the Rani Mukerji starrer has mostly only obtained screens in multiplexes and not many in single screens.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, Border 2 stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sunny Deol, and Varun Dhawan in lead roles. Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana, and Anya Singh also appear in important roles.
