News Topical, Digital Desk : There's no doubt that Border 2 is one of cinema's most anticipated movies. Therefore, it was inevitable that the film would dominate the box office on its opening day. You've likely heard stories of audiences lining up outside cinema ticket counters to see Border, released in 1997. Even though it's the online age, 29 years later, the craze remains the same.
Anurag Singh's directorial venture, Border 2, has brought back memories of 29 years ago. The film released in theaters on January 23, 2026, and has captivated audiences and critics alike. The film received positive reviews and had an impressive opening day collection.
Border 2 broke Dhurandhar's record
Border 2 has earned such a strong opening day collection that it has shattered the opening day collection record of the highest-grossing film, Dhurandhar (Dhurandhar Opening Day Collection). While Dhurandhar, released on December 5, 2025, earned ₹28 crore at the domestic box office on its opening day, Border 2 has earned even more, and in just one day.
