This Friday witnessed new cinematic offerings entering theaters across India, but the spotlight remained firmly on Sunny Deol's patriotic war epic, 'Border 2.' Despite fresh competition, notably from Rani Mukerji's 'Mardaani 3,' the ensemble film featuring Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh continues to demonstrate remarkable staying power at the ticket windows.
Steady Collections Amidst New Releases
While the film experienced a natural dip in collections during the weekdays following its explosive extended weekend opening, its resilience is undeniable. Within just one week of release, 'Border 2' has successfully breached the coveted Rs 300 crore milestone in global earnings. The momentum carried into its second Friday, with early indicators suggesting a strong trajectory toward the Rs 350 crore mark worldwide as it enters its second weekend.
