Sunny Deol’s Border 2 opened to tremendous success at the box office because it exceeded the opening record of last year’s successful movie Dhurandhar. The war drama sequel earned ₹121 crore in its first three days because of nostalgic elements and its star cast and positive audience feedback.

But the Real Test Lies Ahead
While Border 2 has secured a strong opening, experts say the film’s true success will depend on its long-term performance. Dhurandhar became a historic blockbuster largely due to its extraordinary longevity, eventually earning ₹833.4 crore in India — a massive leap from its opening weekend.
Border 2 is in the beginning of its run, and reactions it racks up in Republic day and on coming weekdays will determine whether it proceeds ahead as a long-term blockbuster or ends up with plenty of strong numbers for any fast-grossing surprise uplifting films.
