BY SUNIT JANGIR
Mumbai, February 7 - Sunny Deol's war drama Border 2 started the third weekend on a decent note and is set to cross 300 crores net mark at the domestic box office on its third Saturday. The Anurag Singh-directed film is already the highest-grossing Indian title of the year. On its third Friday, Border 2 minted approximately 5.25 crores net, pushing total domestic net collection to 302 crores in 16 days. The blockbuster sequel became only the second movie of Sunny Deol after Gadar 2 and the first for Varun Dhawan to surpass 300 crores net mark domestically.

However, a bigger-than-expected drop on weekdays and during the second weekend, even though the overall numbers remain decent, has slowed down the trajectory, which has ruled out its chances of crossing 500 crore or even 400 crore net lifetime run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The third weekend of Border 2 is expected to be around 15 crores, with the lifetime domestic net now heading towards finishing somewhere between 325-350 crores. Worldwide, the movie has minted around 407 crores in 15 days, heading to finish in the range of 450 crores gross. As said, irrespective of where Border 2 finishes from now on, it is already a box office success, continuing to showcase Sunny Deol's immense pull among the masses when it comes to patriotic cinema. Earlier in 2023, the veteran actor created a sensation with Gadar 2, which went on to become one of the biggest Hindi grossers of all time. Stay tuned...
