Sunny Deol’s war action epic Border 2 continued its extraordinary box office run through its extended 4-day opening weekend, according to Koimoi’s latest box office analysis. Koimoi reports that the film not only delivered massive single-day collections but has also already recovered around 70% of its reported ₹275 crore budget — a rare achievement for a January release in Bollywood.
A Powerful Extended Weekend for Border 2
Koimoi highlights that Border 2 scored a blockbuster extended weekend total of ₹193.48 crore (India net) by Day 4. The film’s daily collections chart has shown consistent growth — from ₹32.10 crore on Day 1, ₹35 crore on Day 2, ₹57.20 crore on Day 3, and a strong ₹63.59 crore on Day 4. These numbers reflect both strong word-of-mouth and high footfall in theaters across the country.
Second-Highest Republic Day Collection in Bollywood History
Koimoi notes that while Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan still holds the top position for Republic Day collections with ₹70.50 crore, Border 2 has now secured the second-highest Republic Day box office figure ever for a Bollywood film. With its ₹63.59 crore haul on Republic Day itself, this Sunny Deol-led film has re-energized theatrical audiences.
Recovering 70% of Its Budget in Just Four Days
According to Koimoi, Border 2 has recovered approximately 70.35% of its reported ₹275 crore production cost through its robust weekend collections. By Day 4, the film’s India gross stood near ₹228.30 crore, meaning it still needs about ₹81.52 crore more to fully recover its total investment and enter the profitable zone.
Smashing Every 2025 Bollywood Opening Weekend Record
One of the most impressive highlights in the Koimoi report is that Border 2 has surpassed every single opening weekend of 2025 Bollywood releases so far. This includes films like War 2 (which had an opening weekend of around ₹179.25 crore), Dhurandhar, Chhaava, and others. Koimoi confirms that Border 2 now sits atop as the strongest Bollywood debut of the year.
How Border 2 Stands Compared to Others
Despite Border 2’s historic start, Koimoi also points out that War 2 holds the #1 spot for the longest extended opening week in 2025 with around ₹209.1 crore over eight days. However, in terms of opening weekend impact alone, Border 2 has emerged as the clear front-runner among all Hindi films released so far.
What’s Next for Border 2?
Koimoi speculates that the real test now lies in how Border 2 performs through the coming weekdays and whether it can maintain strong box office momentum. With such a promising start, industry analysts are watching closely to see if the film can eventually enter the ₹300 crore club domestically and fully secure its financial success.
Summary of Border 2 Day 4 Box Office (According to Koimoi)
- Budget: ₹275 crore
- India Net Collection (4 days): ₹193.48 crore
- Budget Recovery: ~70.35%
- India Gross: ~₹228.30 crore
- Records Broken: Highest opening weekend of 2025 Bollywood, second-highest Republic Day collection in history.
