The patriotic juggernaut Border 2 is showing incredible resilience as it marches through its third week. After a historic 18-day run that saw the film comfortably settle into the ₹300 crore club, the focus now shifts to its 19th day (Tuesday, February 10, 2026). Despite the natural “working-day” slowdown, early trends suggest that the film is holding its ground against fresh competition.
Day 19 Prediction: Can it hit ₹1.5 Crore?
Following a stable Monday performance, Border 2 is expected to maintain a steady pace on its 19th day.
- The Forecast: Trade analysts predict the film will earn approximately ₹1.50 crore net on Day 19.
- Why the Hold? The film continues to find strong support in mass circuits and single screens across North India. If it maintains this level, it will signal a very healthy weekday trend, paving the way for another jump during the upcoming Valentine’s Day weekend.
18-Day Collection Recap: The Road to Glory
According to data from Sacnilk, Border 2 has already surpassed several lifetime records of major blockbusters. By the end of Day 18 (Monday), the film had amassed a massive total.
| Period / Day | Collection (India Net) |
| Week 1 Total | ₹224.25 Crore |
| Week 2 Total | ₹70.15 Crore |
| Day 15 (3rd Friday) | ₹2.85 Crore |
| Day 16 (3rd Saturday) | ₹5.25 Crore |
| Day 17 (3rd Sunday) | ₹7.25 Crore |
| Day 18 (3rd Monday – Est.) | ₹1.85 Crore |
| Total Net Collection (18 Days) | ₹311.60 Crore |
Occupancy Trends
On its 18th day, the film recorded an average Hindi occupancy of 6.83%. While morning shows started slow at 4.49%, the footfalls increased significantly during the afternoon (8.12%) and evening (7.89%) shows. This pattern is expected to replicate on Day 19, as the film remains the primary choice for family audiences and fans of the war genre.
Record-Breaking Performance
- Beating the Giants: With a net total of ₹311.60 crore, Border 2 has now officially overtaken the lifetime domestic collections of Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 (₹286 crore) and Padmaavat (₹303 crore).
- Worldwide Success: Globally, the film has grossed over ₹458 crore, becoming the highest-grossing Indian war film of all time.
- Mass Appeal: The film’s dominance in “mass pockets” like Jaipur, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai continues to be the driving force behind its sustained run.
Conclusion: What Lies Ahead?
With the total collection nearing ₹315 crore, the film is now chasing the lifetime numbers of Bajrangi Bhaijaan (₹320 crore) and War (₹318 crore). While new releases like Mardaani 3 are in theaters, they have yet to put a significant dent in the popularity of Sunny Deol’s Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler.
