Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan’s highly anticipated film, ‘Border 2,’ has officially hit theaters. This release comes after a significant run from the film ‘Dhurandhar,’ which has dominated the box office for over six weeks. With ‘Border 2’ now in the mix, ‘Dhurandhar’ is experiencing a decline in its box office collections during its seventh week.
Box Office Performance of ‘Border 2’
The advance bookings for ‘Border 2’ showed promising results, thanks in part to the iconic status of its predecessor. The film launched on 4,500 screens worldwide, creating immense excitement. With Republic Day approaching, it stands as a solo release, enhancing its viewing potential.
Initial Day One Estimates
- Day 1 Gross: Rs 12.5 crore
- Total Tickets Sold: 409,117 across 16,221 shows
- Hindi 2D Version Contribution: Rs 12.45 crore
- Overall Advance Booking Total: Rs 17.5 crore
According to early estimations from Sacnilk, ‘Border 2’ has made about Rs 30 crore on its opening day. This marks a commendable opening, especially compared to ‘Dhurandhar,’ which earned Rs 28 crore on its first day.
Future Projections and Expectations
The sustainability of ‘Border 2’ will depend on audience word of mouth in the coming days. The success of the film is crucial as it looks to capitalize on the extended Republic Day weekend, with projections suggesting it could surpass Rs 125 crore in cumulative collections.
For comparison, ‘Dhurandhar’ has surpassed Rs 830 crore in total earnings. As ‘Border 2’ begins its journey at the box office, many industry experts are keenly observing its performance in the days ahead.
The excitement surrounding ‘Border 2’ suggests it could become one of the standout films of the year, and possibly a significant contender in the history of Indian cinema.
