Border 2 collects 218.50 cr in Week 1; ninth highest Week 1 of all time

BORDER 2 had an excellent first week as it collected 218 crore nett plus in its first seven days. The film did have a drop on Wednesday but that was just the film equaling itself after the holiday weekend. Tuesday saw a superb hold as it got some post holiday advantage but this was in some circuits which saw very limited drops from day one. This equaled up the next day which led to the fall which was higher than normal.
The film has collected less than GADAR 2 which earned 282 crore nett in its first week but the opening itself was around 25% less and the week has also ended around 25% less. That is still a great result as GADAR 2 was an extraordinary HIT. To maintain this gap of 25% in the long run would be difficult as GADAR 2 was far stronger going into its second Friday.
The film has scored very well in most of the mass circuits and better than many of the big films as far as the first week goes. It could well be among the top five films in week one in these circuits. Overall the film has done very well and now its about where it can go from here. There is minor competition in the form of MARDAANI 3 but that is for a different audience and its better business is likely to come from centres where BORDER 2 is doing less.
The collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 29,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 36,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 52,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 56,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 20,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 11,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,18,50,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------
BORDER 2 had the ninth highest first week collection of all time and if we count original Hindi films only then it will be the sixth highest behind PATHAAN, JAWAN, ANIMAL, GADAR 2 and STREE 2 only. There will be circuits competing with the bigger films, excluding PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE, and it could have the second or third highest first week totals in a couple of circuits.
PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is the phenomena as it leads the first week numbers by a margin and this was achieved with very limited business in South India. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION remains the only film in the list from the pre pandemic era and these figures indicate that these two South films are the biggest we have seen in the last ten years or so. The footfalls also indicate this but this phase where some South films did well has started to crack as core areas, where these films do well, have become indifferent to these films over the last year or so.
It maybe the content has not been right but there does seem to be signs that getting the audience to theatres will be tougher for South films then say a few years back. For the time being it remains to be seen if any film this year can chase down the 360 crore nett of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in week one.
The top ten opening weeks of all time are as follows.
1. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 3,60,92,00,000
2. Pathaan - 3,17,06,00,000
3. Jawan - 3,15,59,00,000
4. Animal - 2,92,36,00,000
5. Gadar 2 - 2,81,44,00,000
6. Stree 2 - 2,64,60,00,00
7. KGF - Chapter 2 - 2,50,51,00,000
8. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 2,46,47,00,000
9. Border 2 - 2,18,50,00,000 apprx
10. Chhavva - 2,10,59,00,000

BORDER 2 held up very well on Tuesday showing a drop of 30% from Friday as it collected around 20 crore nett which now takes the film to a an excellent 195 crore nett apprx. The film has come through very well on Monday but there does look some post holiday advantage in the collections as some parts which should be in tandem are up and down. However, this should settle down over the next couple of days.
This will mean the film coming down to lower levels over the next two days. The film was super strong in places like Rajasthan and CP, CI on Monday and its these places which will have some post holiday factor in play and are likely to see drops. The collections in Rajasthan on Tuesday were so high that they are only behind the first Tuesday numbers of GADAR 2 and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. These circuits have held far better than even the likes of Delhi/UP and East Punjab and even the drop in Mumbai is less than the North. Eventually, it is going to be North which will lead.
The film has around 195 crore nett up on the board but first week collections will depend on the next two days as it will go down to lower levels and then it will be about the second weekend. The film is going to be stronger in certain regions than others and eventually the lesser side will West Bengal, South and Mumbai circuit. This will show up in collections in the second week.
The drop on Monday is only 30% but the next few days will tell the actual value of this drop and will be higher. The film overall has done very well till date but if this hold had come without a boost in certain circuits, then it would have been even better.
The collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 29,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 36,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 52,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 56,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 20,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,94,50,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------------
BORDER 2 has done outstanding business in Rajasthan in the first five days as it stands at around 13 crore nett and Tuesday is only showing a drop of around 10% from the first day. There is a post holiday factor here but even if we take it a 30% down, it would still be an excellent number for a Tuesday.
The film recorded the highest numbers ever seen in the circuit outside GADAR 2 and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE on Sunday and Monday and then continued on Tuesday. There will a drop on Wednesday but it is still sure to be a good number. The film is heading for a 15 crore nett plus week in Rajasthan which will be higher than the likes of KGF - CHAPTER 2 and JAWAN. It could be the fifth highest first week total ever in the circuit.
The highest first week collection ever is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE with 22 crore nett followed by GADAR 2 at 19 crore nett.
The first five day collections of BORDER 2 in Rajasthan are as follows.
Friday - 1,92,00,000
Saturday - 2,20,00,000
Sunday - 3,31,00,000
Monday - 3,57,00,000
Tuesday - 1,71,00,000
TOTAL - 12,71,00,000
---------------------------------------
BORDER 2 had a drop in business on Wednesday as collections went 35% down but just like the hold on Tuesday was not as strong as it looked, the fall on Wednesday is also not as bad as it looks. The film had had seen very strong holds on Tuesday in some circuits and these had to drop and it happened on Wednesday. BORDER 2 collected 13 crore nett on Wednesday.
The film did not opt for the discounted rates on Tuesday but this has become habitual and the films which don't also tend to see better admits on Tuesday. Basically, the Tuesday had inflated collections from a few angles. The film is around 55% down from the first day on Wednesday and its all equaled up to day one as far as circuits go which probably means this film would have been down around 40% on Monday if it was a normal week.
The film has a very good 207.50 crore nett up on the board so far and it will be around 218 crore nett plus in the first week which is also very good. Despite the drop, the overall number of 13 crore nett is still good and the film just needs to stabilize collections on the Friday and consolidate over the weekend. The collections remain excellent in Delhi/UP, East Punjab, Rajasthan and Bihar.
The collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 29,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 36,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 52,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 56,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 20,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,07,50,00,000 apprx

BORDER 2 has done good business overseas as the first week head for a $4 million plus total which is coming without Gulf. The film will easily surpass the business of GADAR 2 which had a Gulf release and a $1.3 million contribution from that circuit. GADAR 2 did $7.25 million overseas which BORDER 2 should beat without Gulf.
The media reports say the film is banned in Gulf but that is not the case and it was a similar story with DHURANDHAR as they are not banned but just did not get certified to release there. Due to streaming deals, it get certified to release in Gulf or don't release as there is not an option for a ban because it will affect the digital revenue as streaming partners will not be able to screen the film in those countries where it is banned and they ask for a discount.
BORDER 2 has done well in United Kingdom, Australia and Canada while US could have been better though it was affected by a snow storm over the weekend and after.
The worldwide collections stand at 286 crore after six days and it should have a worldwide total of 300 crore after the first week. GADAR 2 was at 377 crore after the first week due to its phenomenal collections in India.
The worldwide collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
India - 251 crore (207.50 crore nett)
Overseas - 35 crore ($3.85 million)
TOTAL - 286 crore
Border 2 collects 56.50 cr in 4 days; highest Monday of all time

BORDER 2 had a phenomenal Monday as it managed to make gains as compared to the Sunday. The film was on a rampage on in many areas across the Hindi belts and setting new highs or very close. The film was competing with the records PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in the Northern and Central belts though Mumbai circuit is far less but the Allu Arjun-starrer there was something else. The other film, which had such high numbers in North and Central India, was GADAR 2 and they came on Tuesday when it was August 15 and Independence Day.
The Republic Day holiday saw single screens record outstanding figures and these were huge on Sunday itself and the growth on Monday has come from the smaller centres and many single screens that hardly collect. It will be the holiday factor in play here and what helped was the film is apt for Republic Day. The film collected a huge 56.50 crore nett on Monday which takes the film to almost 175 crore nett in four days.
The film is now actually ahead of GADAR 2 as that film had around 170 crore nett in four days but there the big holiday was yet to come and the comparison with GADAR 2 will come more clearer in the second week as that film held up really well. BORDER 2 has to do the same and the chances are there due to the appreciation the film has gained.
The film is sure to hold up well on Tuesday which should confirm that the film is a BLOCKBUSTER and then its about where it goes on from here. Certain circuits, which saw an average initial response, are going to hold up extremely well on Tuesday. There is not much competition around and its just about piling the collections up over the next few weeks.
The collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 29,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 36,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 52,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 56,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,74,50,00,000 apprx
-----------------------------------
BORDER 2 recorded the highest first Monday in history and became the second film to cross 50 crore nett on Monday though it was a big national holiday for Republic Day. The only other film to hit 50 crore nett on Monday is TIGER 3 but that film was a Sunday release, making it the second day for the Salman Khan-starrer
Despite a very so so twelve months for the industry, there are still four films which have managed to be among the top Mondays of all time, namely, BORDER 2, SAIYAARA, CHHAAVA and DHURANDHAR. The last three had a non holiday Monday and yet, went over the 20 crore nett mark. The task for BORDER 2 was never the Monday but the Tuesday and its about being among the top ten Tuesdays ever or even better and no doubt it will up there somewhere. Tuesday is a normal day for BORDER 2 after the big holiday on Monday.
The highest non holiday Monday is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE witch an extraordinary 40 crore nett while for an original Hindi its GADAR 2 but that was a Monday between a Sunday and a national holiday. So, it became a mini holiday for the box office though officially, it was a normal working day. ANIMAL is probably the highest Monday on fair value for an original Hindi film.
The top first Mondays of all time are as follows.
1. Border 2 - 56.50 crore apprx (Holiday)
2. Tiger 3 - 56.08 crore (Holiday, Day Two)
3. Pushpa 2 - The Rule - 40.74 crore
4. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 39.81 crore (Partial Holiday)
5. Gadar 2 - 38.36 crore
6. Animal (Hindi) - 37.68 crore
7. Stree 2 - 36.87 crore (Holiday)
8. Tiger Zinda Hai - 36.53 (Holiday)
9. Housefull 4 - 34.12 crore (Holiday)
10. Krrish 3 - 29.64 crore (Holiday)
11. Jawan (Hindi) - 28.61 crore
12. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 26.78 crore (Holiday)
13. KGF - Chapter 2 - 25.24 crore
14. Dangal - 24.98 crore
15. Sanju - 24.63 crore
16. Pathaan - 24.51 crore
17. Saiyaara - 23.36 crore
18. Chhavva - 23.12 crore
19. Dhurandhar - 21.54 crore
20. Simmba - 21.19 crore
Border 2 collects 118 cr in 3 days; 8th highest weekend of all time for a Hindi film

BORDER 2 showed a superb trend on Saturday as collections went up over 20% but this this does really tell the whole story as the jumps in the weaker areas are huge with Mumbai circuit jumping around 50% while Mysore has seen an even bigger jump of 70%. The film had opened strongly in mass pockets. So, the jump there is going to be minimal and there are drops in some circuits, especially the East.
Bihar is a little down which is expected and West Bengal had a holiday on Friday which pushed the first day collections and this circuit has seen a drop in collections. If we take out the Eastern circuit, then the jump for the film is touching 40% which is huge and this is not some little five metro film where big growth comes on Saturday. The real concern for the first day was the Gujarat/Saurashtra belt as here, the zone of the film should have meant a very good opening. Yet, it came out average and this belt is so important especially for these type of of films. It all changed on Saturday as the circuit jumped over 50% and came out with very good collections.
The film now has 66 crore nett up in two days and it will be a weekend which will be go over 100 crore nett mark. Also, it will be the first time that a weekend goes over 100 crore nett since CHHAAVA last year with good chances of being the highest weekend recorded since PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in December 2024.
The film continues with extraordinary collections in the North with East Punjab leading and this area could well be challenging the collections of some of the biggest figures seen in the circuit from films like KGF - CHAPTER 2, ANIMAL and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. The key for the film was Mumbai circuit and now after Saturday there will be no looking back and the film is set for a strong run.
The collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 29,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 36,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 66,00,00,000 apprx
--------------------------------------
BORDER 2 had an excellent weekend of 118 crore nett with an extraordinary trend as the film starts with a HIT opening and went to BLOCKBUSTER level collections on Sunday. This is because of the lesser opening in the Mumbai/Gujarat belt which came on board on Saturday and then continued to push higher on Sunday. Gujarat can still be a little higher going by the figures of GADAR 2 but the Maharashtra trend looks better than the 2023 film.
The film showed growth of 25% plus on Saturday and 40% plus on Sunday which is superb and with it being Republic Day on Monday, it will be another huge day. Sunday has become crucial day in terms of growth and BORDER2 has done the job here.
The mass pockets were phenomenal on Sunday as the film recorded huge figures in East Punjab, Delhi/UP, Rajasthan and Bihar. Delhi/UP and East Punjab went higher than what GADAR 2 did on Sunday and also markets like South and West Bengal were higher. Overall, it was a similar collections to GADAR 2 on Sunday. Despite a lower start, it caught GADAR 2 on the Sunday and now it remains to be seen how it compares from here.
GADAR 2 had a weekend of 132 crore nett and BORDER 2 is around 14 crore nett less. But the way business is today and how the accepted films hold, this can easily be covered in the long run. The business is fantastic in single screens and smaller centers but still its not at GADAR 2 level. Meanwhile, the trend in multiplexes suggest it has a shot at GADAR 2 levels here though it will be t he next few days which will tell. The film is looking to emerge a BLOCKBUSTER and the Tuesday collections should confirm that as the film has found appreciation.
The collections of BORDER 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 29,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 36,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 52,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,18,00,00,000 apprx
--------------------------------------
BORDER 2 collected 118 crore nett over its first weekend which is the eighth highest opening weekend of all time for an original Hindi film. If we add the South dubbed films, then this position goes to number eleven. It is the highest opening for an original film since STREE 2 in August 2024 as it surpasses the figures of CHHAAVA, WAR 2 and DHURANDHAR which had the best weekends in 2025 with CHHAAVA going to 110 crore nett.
It is the fact that films like CHHAAVA and DHURANDHAR got to 500 crore nett and higher. It gives hope BORDER 2 can do a similar repeat or at least something close. The business has seen a big shift from initial to post weekend over the last year or so as the public really starts coming for films which have appreciation while there seems to be hesitation when not knowing if the film is good or bad. Basically films are now actually working after the first day which is the case with BORDER 2 also as first day was just good and probably more was expected. The plus was it had mass support to put up a good opening day. A film like DHURANDHAR did not and still, it went on to break all records.
There are only two pre pandemic releases in the top ten and they are SANJU and TIGER ZINDA HAI. JAWAN has the biggest weekend but ANIMAL is not far behind; the latter is one of those rare films which has totally organic collections. So, on fair value, it can be top.
The top ten weekends of all time for original Hindi films are as follows but with the fiddles going on the real positions can be slightly different.
1. Jawan - 1,75,14,00,000
2. Animal - 1,68,59,00,000
3. Pathaan - 1,60,57,00,000
4. Tiger 3 - 1,38,56,00,000
5. Gadar 2 - 1,32,47,00,000
6. Stree 2 - 1,28,31,00,000
7. Sanju - 1,19,33,00,000
8. Border 2 - 1,18,00,00,000 apprx
9. Tiger Zinda Hai - 1,14,91,00,000
10. Singham Again - 1,12,57,00,000
