Mumbai, January 24

One of the most anticipated movies of the year, Border 2, has opened to a strong start at the box office.

The film, starring actor Sunny Deol in the lead, hit theatres across India on Friday, January 23, and early numbers show that it has had a flying start on Day 1.

The figure places Border 2 as the biggest opener of 2026 so far, also matching the box-office collection of last year's Chhaava (Rs 33.10 crore).

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has recorded one of the biggest openings in recent times. He also mentioned that the war drama has collected Rs 32.10 crore net in India on its opening day.

As per Adarsh, the film has performed well in mass belts and single screens, while urban centres saw a better turnout as the day went on. Business in parts of North India was affected by heavy rain, but strong word of mouth is expected to push numbers higher over the weekend and the Republic Day holiday.

Meanwhile, early morning shows on Friday in Mumbai saw packed theatres, with moviegoers walking out with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces. Many have called the film a "must-watch" and praised its mix of action, emotion, and strong performances.

Border 2 is inspired by the true events of the 1971 India-Pakistan War and shows how the Army, Navy, and Air Force fight together as one force. The film brings Sunny Deol back in uniform once again.

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film also stars Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh in key roles. It is produced by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with JP Dutta's JP Films.

Impressive numbers! It's great to see a film with a patriotic theme connecting with audiences across mass belts and urban centres. Hope the story is as strong as the box office.

Watched the first show in Pune. The theatre was electric! The scene where all three forces unite gave me goosebumps. A respectful suggestion though - some VFX scenes felt a bit rushed. But overall, paisa vasool!

My father, an army veteran, has been waiting for this film since the teaser. He said it brought back memories of his service days. More than the collection, it's the emotional connect that matters. Well done team! ❤️

32 crore on Day 1 despite rain in North India? That's solid. Word of mouth is super strong in my friend circle. Everyone is saying Varun Dhawan surprised them with his performance. Republic Day weekend will be huge.
