Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 12 Updates: Border 2 has made Rs 411.76 cr. globally. Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 12 Updates: Sunny Deol’s war drama Border 2, which enjoyed a strong start at the box office, has slowed down in its second week as earnings have now fallen to single digits. While it initially surprised both trade and industry insiders with a strong opening and sustained momentum, the film now seems to be losing steam as it approaches its third week. On Tuesday, Border 2 makers shared that the film made Rs 6.69 cr on Day 12, taking its overall box office to Rs 315.10 cr.
Interestingly, even though the makers announced a strategy to boost collections, offering tickets for as low as Rs 149 on Tuesday, it did not have much of an impact on the day’s collection and footfall.

While Border 2 has performed decently, it still lags behind Sunny Deol’s last blockbuster, Gadar 2, which had entered the coveted Rs 400 crore club by day 12. For Varun Dhawan, the film has been a much-needed success, as his post-pandemic releases had struggled at the box office. Border 2 has now become his highest grosser. However, the film is still far behind Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, which earned Rs 30 crore on its twelfth day, taking its India net collection to Rs 411 crore.
But when compared to other recent war films, Border 2, in it’s 12-day run, has fared better than major tentpoles like Sky Force (Rs 102.95 crore), Fighter (Rs 178.5 crore), and Sam Bahadur (Rs 60.95 crore). It should also be mentioned that film is also facing some competition from Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3, which, despite a smaller release, has earned Rs 21.92 crore in five days and continues to perform decently. Now, it remains to be seen whether Border 2, with a worldwide collection close to Rs 392 crore, will enter the Rs 400 crore club globally by the end of this week.
According to a report by OTTplay, Border 2 is set to arrive on streaming platforms eight weeks after its theatrical release on January 23, 2026. The film is expected to stream on Netflix from March 20, 2026, which interestingly places its digital debut just a day after Dhurandhar 2 releases in cinemas worldwide.
A fan @TPspk25 posted Border 2 review on X that read, "#border2 OUTSTANDING never thought that the final output would turn out to be this engaging. liked the emotions and performances. @iamsunnydeolpaaaji as powerful as always .@Varun_dvn never not a BRILLIANT ACTOR."
In a recent interview, actor-politician Ravi Kishan praised the success of Laapataa Ladies—a humble Rs 5 crore film that became India’s official entry to the Oscars—for proving that strong storytelling can stand tall against big-budget productions like Dhurandhar and Border 2. In his interview with India Today, he said, "If the film gains momentum by the 6th, it will be historic – much like how the movie Laapataa Ladies, made on a small budget of Rs 5 crore, went all the way to the Oscars. It would set an example that while big-budget films like Dhurandhar and Border 2 exist, small-budget projects like this one can also thrive, allowing every kind of filmmaker to survive. This is the beauty of the industry: there was a time when the films of Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee coexisted with those of Yash Chopra, Raj Khosla, and Manmohan Desai. Massive productions and Amol Palekar’s simpler films both found success."
Producer Nidhi Dutta has also hinted that Sunny Deol could be seen in more than one of her upcoming war films. Speaking to NDTV, she confirmed that all three films have been greenlit, saying, “These three projects are with Bhushan ji; they are greenlit. We are working on all of them. Fans will get to know more about them soon.” When asked whether Sunny Deol would star in these films apart from Border 3, Dutta gave a telling response, stating, “Can anyone defend India without Sunny Deol? This is the truth.” The remark strongly suggests that the actor may continue to be the face of the franchise and her upcoming war films.

Producer Nidhi Dutta, in an interview with NDTV, confirmed that Border 3 is officially in the works and revealed plans for two more war films in collaboration with T-Series. "We already had the story (for Border 3) in mind. We have been actively working on it for the past two years. Bhushan ji has announced the film, and we hope to share more big updates about Border 3 soon. It took time to make Border 2 because we were not getting the right story for the film. But this time (in the case of Border 3), there won't be a lot of delay. This time we have stories; I don't think it will take a lot of time to come up with Border 3," she shared

In a recent conversation, Border 2 actor and Diljit Dosanjh’s on-screen mother Neeta Mohindra opened up about her experience from the war drama, specifically the scene that highlights a mother’s humanity, where she said, “Wo bhi toh apni maaon se ashirwaad hi leke aaye honge, ek maa humesha jeene ka ashirwad de sakti hai, marne maarne ka nahi. (The entire credit for that scene truly goes to the writers, because what was written was so beautifully crafted. The line I received was exactly as it was—I didn’t add anything to it—that ‘they too must have come with the blessing to live from their mothers; a mother who gives birth can bless life, not death or killing.)”
Replying to this Neeta told India.com, "Uss scene ka poora credit writers ko jata hai bahut, kyunki wo jo likha gaya tha wo itna khubsurti se likha gaya tha, kyunki wo line mujhe mili thi, maine add nahi ki thi ki “Wo bhi apni maaon se jeene ka aashirwad leke aaye honge, janam dene wali maa jeene ka aashirwad de sakti hai marne maarne ka nahi.”
