Border 2 Box Office:Misses Top 10 Highest First Week Collections by less than 5 Crores; See Full Top 15 List!
The Indian box office has witnessed a seismic shift in 2026, with sequels and mass entertainers rewriting historical records. While the First Day collection often grabs headlines, the First Week (7 Days) Collection is the ultimate litmus test for a film's long-term sustainability. In the recently updated list of the all-time highest opening week collections for Hindi/Bollywood movies, several 2025 and 2026 releases have made their way into the Top 15. The most recent entry, Border 2, has secured the 11th position, narrowly missing out on a spot in the Top 10. To understand where Border 2 stands, one must look at the giants it is competing with. Pushpa 2: The Rule remains at the undisputed #1 spot with a staggering 425.6 Cr, a figure that currently seems untouchable for any upcoming release. Top 15 Highest Opening Week Collection - Hindi/Bollywood SN MOVIE NAME 1ST WEEK (CR) WORLDWIDE (CR) 1 Pushpa: The Rule - Part 2 425.60 1742.10 2 Pathaan 351.00 1055.00 3 Jawan 347.98 1160.00 4 Animal 300.81 915.00 5 Stree 2 291.65 857.15 6 Gadar 2 284.63 686.00 7 KGF Chapter 2 268.63 1215.00 8 Baahubali 2: The Conclusion 247.00 1788.06 9 Sultan 229.16 627.82 10 War 228.50 471.00 11 Border 2 224.25 309.50 12 Chhaava 219.25 807.91 13 Dhurandhar 207.25 1301.50 14 Tiger Zinda Hai 206.04 558.00 15 Sanju 202.51 588.50 Securing the #11 spot on the all-time list is a monumental feat for Border 2. Collecting ₹224.25 Cr in its first week, it has narrowly missed out on the Top 10 by less than ₹5 Cr (currently held by Hrithik Roshan's War). What makes Border 2's performance unique is its Mass Momentum. While films like Dhurandhar and Chhaava had massive lifetime totals, Border 2 has shown a faster sprinting speed in its first 7 days. It has already pushed Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai (206 Cr) and Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju (202 Cr) down the ladder, proving that patriotism-driven sequels are the current flavor of the Indian audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Unbeatable Trio: Pushpa 2, Pathaan, and Jawan are the only three films to have breached the ₹340 Cr mark in their opening week. Worldwide Efficiency: Despite being #13 in its first week, Dhurandhar holds the record for one of the highest Worldwide Gross-to-Net ratios in the list, finishing at a massive ₹1301.5 Cr. The South Dominance: Out of the Top 15 Hindi first-week openers, four films (Pushpa 2, Jawan, KGF 2, Baahubali 2) have strong South Indian roots, showcasing the power of Pan-India cinema. Sequel Power: Six out of the Top 15 films are sequels or part of established franchises (Pushpa 2, Jawan, Stree 2, Gadar 2, KGF 2, Border 2), indicating that franchise value is the safest bet for a massive start. Top 5 Fastest Films to ₹200 Cr (First Week) 1. Pushpa: The Rule: Record Holder (Crossed ₹400 Cr in Week 1) 2. Pathaan: The Comeback King (First Bollywood film to hit ₹350 Cr in Week 1) 3. Jawan: Mass Global Hit (Formerly held the record for the highest non-holiday Monday; currently the highest single-day grosser on a Sunday with ₹71.63 Cr) 4. Animal: Trendsetter (Highest first-week for an A-rated film) 5. Stree 2: ₹ 229.55 Cr(Hindi Net) (Highest first week for a horror-comedy) While its first-week journey ends at #11, its steady trending suggests it could challenge the lifetime collections of Gadar 2 and Baahubali 2. The theatrical landscape in 2026 continues to be dominated by high-octane sequels, and Border 2 is currently the captain of that ship.

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar OTT Release Disappoints Fans
Hyderabad, January 30 - Ranveer Singh's blockbuster Dhurandhar has finally made its way to streaming, but the much-awaited OTT debut has seemingly failed to live up to audience expectations. While fans were excited to revisit the high-octane action thriller after its sensational theatrical run, the Netflix version has sparked disappointment across social media platforms soon after its release. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar started streaming on Netflix from January 30 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, after the 8 weeks of theatrical run. However, the OTT audience is expressing disappointment over the release. The main reason behind the backlash is the reduced runtime and visible censorship in the OTT cut. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) One major point of discussion was that Netflix's version of Dhurandhar is nine minutes shorter than the original duration of 3 hours and 34 minutes. The runtime of the film on the streaming platform is 3 hours and 25 minutes. Going by the social media reactions, fans are accusing the streaming platform of muting dialogues, censoring abusive language and trimming a total of 10 minutes of the film. According to reports, the runtime of the movie was reduced after the makers were asked to mute two words and one dialogue in reference to Baloch in the movie. According to the revised censor certificate of Dhurandhar, its new runtime is 3 hours, 28 minutes and 56 seconds, and it was further shortened for Netflix release. Stay tuned...

Dhurandhar Makes History: Joins Elite ₹1000 Cr India Gross Club; Becomes First Single-Language Film to Hit the Milestone
The Indian box office has witnessed a historic moment as the mega-epic Dhurandhar officially crossed the monumental ₹1000 Crore Gross mark in India. In doing so, it has entered a legendary territory previously occupied only by three of the biggest cinematic giants in history: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, KGF: Chapter 2, and Pushpa 2: The Rule. This Gigantic Blockbuster status solidifies the film's position as one of the most successful cinematic ventures ever produced in the country. What makes this achievement truly unprecedented is that Dhurandhar has become the first Indian film in history to gross over ₹1000 Crore with a single language. While previous record-holders relied on massive multi-language dubbed versions to reach the four-figure mark, the ground-level connection and repeat value of Dhurandhar in its primary language have set a new benchmark for the industry. This feat proves that a powerful narrative, when executed with grand vision, can achieve global-scale numbers even through a single-language stronghold. Building on this unprecedented momentum, the makers are wasting no time in bringing the next chapter to life. Even as the first film continues to draw crowds, work is in full swing for the sequel, Dhurandhar 2, which is officially slated for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026. To ensure the sequel matches the technical and emotional scale of its predecessor, the production team recently commenced a crucial 3-day patch shoot in Vile Parle, Mumbai. These sessions are focused on fine-tuning key high-intensity moments for the second installment. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The spotlight during this ongoing schedule is firmly on Arjun Rampal, who reprises his role as the cerebral antagonist Major Iqbal. Described as the mastermind behind the most complex terror strikes in the franchise's universe, Rampal's performance in the upcoming sequel is being touted as even more intense and layered. With the March 19 release fast approaching, these final touches are being added to ensure the sequel lives up to the massive legacy created by the first part. Following its record-breaking theatrical journey, the digital premiere of Dhurandhar is officially set for January 30, 2026, on Netflix. After achieving the historic ₹1000 Crore India Gross milestone, the film's OTT arrival has generated massive buzz among digital audiences. This late January release on Netflix is strategically timed to allow viewers to experience the epic saga at home just weeks before the much-anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar 2, hits the big screens on March 19. With Dhurandhar joining the ranks, there are now only four films in the history of Indian cinema to have breached the ₹1000 Crore gross mark within the domestic market.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge Teasers Certified by CBFC; Multiple Ratings Signal an Intense and Hard-Hitting Promo Campaign Ahead
The anticipation for Ranveer Singh's next massive espionage thriller, Dhurandhar: The Revenge (also referred to as Dhurandhar 2), has reached a fever pitch. In a significant technical update, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially cleared multiple teaser cuts for the film, signaling that the makers are preparing for a hard-hitting and strategic promotional rollout. The certifications suggest a darker, more violent, and grittier tone compared to the first installment, which has already set high expectations among trade analysts and fans alike. According to the official censor reports, the makers have secured clearances for three distinct versions of the teaser to suit different platforms and theatrical requirements. Teaser 1A has been granted a U/A 16+ certificate with a runtime of 1 minute and 9.6 seconds. More interestingly, Teaser 2 and Teaser 2A have both received an A (Adults Only) rating, with runtimes of 1 minute 48 seconds and 1 minute 9.6 seconds, respectively. This rare move of opting for A rated teaser cuts confirms director Aditya Dhar's vision of dialing up the intensity and packing the sequel with raw, unflinching shades of grit and high-stakes action. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The massive scale of this sequel is built on the historic legacy of the first part. For context, the original Dhurandhar was a box office phenomenon, recently joining the elite ₹1000 Crore India Gross Club. It became the first-ever single-language Indian film to achieve this domestic milestone, standing alongside giants like Baahubali 2, KGF 2, and Pushpa 2. The first part's unprecedented success was driven by a powerful audience connection in mass circuits, making the sequel one of the most bankable projects currently in production. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel sees Ranveer Singh reprising his role as the elite operative, with Arjun Rampal returning as the cerebral antagonist, Major Iqbal. The 3-day patch shoot recently conducted in Vile Parle was aimed at fine-tuning the high-octane sequences that these teasers will showcase. With the censor clearances now in place, the stage is set for the film's grand theatrical arrival on March 19, 2026, preceded by a digital drop of the film on Netflix on January 30 to further ignite the franchise's momentum.

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Completes 50 Days At The Box Office: A Look At Its All-Time Blockbuster Journey So Far
Mumbai, January 23 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has completed 50 days in its theatrical run today, firmly establishing itself as one of the most iconic blockbusters in Indian cinema. From the doubtful pre-release days to finishing at the top, the spy action thriller has come a long way in those 50 days to prove that there is nothing like big screen cinema. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar has dominated the box office across circuits, from a solid opening to its extraordinary long run. The budget was massive, and there were doubts whether the film had star power to pull big numbers to justify the scale, but it made everyone fall in love once it hit the silver screens and became the highest single-language grosser in India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Apart from being the biggest single-language grosser in the domestic market, Dhurandhar has rewritten history by becoming the highest-grossing film worldwide in Hindi, showcasing its appeal not just domestically but also in overseas markets. In India, the film displayed unprecedented consistency, setting all-time weekly records in Hindi from the second week onwards, something almost unheard of for an A-rated mainstream entertainer. The film's theatrical reach has been equally historic in terms of footfalls. Dhurandhar is now the most-watched original Bollywood film in Hindi since the COVID-19 pandemic, recording 3.65+ crore admissions. This remarkable audience turnout reflects the film's universal appeal, mass connect, and repeat value. With 50 days completed, Dhurandhar stands tall as a true all-time blockbuster. Ranveer Singh and the rest of the cast's powerhouse performances, combined with scale-driven action and the growing excitement for Dhurandhar Part 2, have turned the film into a cultural and box office phenomenon, setting benchmarks for the upcoming films to achieve.

According to the early trends, the sequel is looking to cross 30 crores net opening, which may go towards 35 crores, if the momentum continues in the evening and night shows. In 2025, only Chhava managed to cross 30 crores on the opening day, and Border 2 is expected to top with a decent margin.

Sunny Deol's Border 2 Gets Midnight Shows Amid Strong Demand
Mumbai, January 23 - Sunny Deol starrer Border 2 has begun its box office juggernaut as it is heading towards a solid opening domestically. Due to the growing demand, the exhibitors have allotted midnight shows across several key centres in India. It is said that theatre chains are expecting big numbers over the weekend, and are accordingly increasing the number of shows. According to Bollywood Hungama, the popular cinema chain MovieMax has taken the initiative and has already scheduled post-midnight shows of the war drama in their key properties for Saturday, January 24. In Pune's MovieMax Amanora, 6 shows will be held between 12:00 am and 8:00 am, at 1:15 am, 1:45 am, 2:15 am, 3:00 am, 7:00 am and 7:30 am. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the demand for the film continues to grow, more and more theatre chains are expected to join the bandwagon and schedule round-the-clock shows nationwide. There is practically no competition for the Border 2 at the moment, which allows the exhibitors to fulfil the demand. Early trends indicate that Border 2 is heading towards a good opening in the range of 30+ crore net, which would make it one of the biggest Hindi openings in recent times. The U/A (13+) certification is also expected to help footfalls, allowing family audiences to turn up in large numbers over the weekend. With patriotic fervour, a popular franchise tag, and Sunny Deol's strong connect with the masses, Border 2 has begun its box office journey on a promising note. If the momentum from the midnight shows continues through the day, the film could set the tone for a powerful opening weekend at the domestic box office. Stay tuned...

Border 2: Sunny Deol's War Epic Cleared With Zero Cuts; Massive 3-Hour 16-Minute Runtime Confirmed
The anticipation for Sunny Deol's return as the face of Indian war cinema has reached a new milestone.The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially cleared Border 2 with a UA 13+ certificate and, notably, zero cuts. This is a significant win for director Anurag Singh, as it ensures that the raw intensity and the sprawling narrative of the sequel remain entirely intact for the audience. With the certification finalized, the film is now legally cleared for its grand Republic Day weekend release on January 23, 2026. One of the most talked-about aspects of the certification is the film's official runtime, which has been locked at 3 hours and 16 minutes. This massive duration reflects the ambitious scale of the sequel, which is being marketed as India's biggest multi-front war epic. Unlike the 1997 original, Border 2 is reported to cover ground, air, and sea operations—including high-octane sequences involving the INS Vikrant. The extended runtime is necessary to accommodate the massive ensemble cast, which features Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty alongside Sunny Deol. With a 4-day extended weekend ahead and the iconic Sandese Aate Hai nostalgia fueling the buzz, Border 2 is positioned to challenge the historic opening day benchmarks set by Gadar 2. Current projections suggest an opening day net in the range of ₹35–40 Crore, which would solidify its status as a historical cinematic event. As the clock ticks down to January 23, the combination of a U/A rating and a mammoth runtime has set the stage for a total theatrical monopoly.

Dhurandhar 2 Update: Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios Aim for Massive Revenue with Joint Broadcast Deal for Both Parts
Following the record-breaking success of Dhurandhar in 2025, director Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios are now moving to capitalize on the franchise's immense brand value through a strategic broadcasting deal. According to a report by Mid-day, the makers are opting for an unconventional business move by clubbing the satellite and linear transmission rights for both the first installment and the upcoming sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, into a single package deal. A public notice recently issued in the trade magazine Complete Cinema indicates that the makers are in the process of securing licenses for exclusive linear transmission. This includes satellite channels, DTH (Direct-to-Home), IPTV, and cable rights. By offering both films together, the production house aims to maximize revenue and leverage the unprecedented hype surrounding the sequel, which is slated to hit theaters on March 19, 2026. According to trade sources, the broadcast timeline has already been outlined. While Dhurandhar 1 is expected to begin its satellite run around March 31, the sequel will follow a strict theatrical window. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is reportedly scheduled to make its television debut approximately 117 days—nearly four months—after its theatrical release. This worldwide transmission deal is being finalized for all major global markets, with the specific exceptions of China, Taiwan, and Macau. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Industry experts and trade analysts have lauded this move as a high-confidence play. Speaking to Mid-day, trade analyst Atul Mohan highlighted that because the Dhurandhar franchise is currently one of the most discussed properties in Indian cinema, Jio Studios is in a position to demand top-tier value, effectively offsetting previous minor setbacks like the release ban in the UAE with strong international and ancillary revenue. This commercial strategy comes at a time when the first film has already established itself as an All-Time Blockbuster, shattering multiple box office records. By securing a joint broadcast deal before the second part even arrives in cinemas, the makers are ensuring that the Dhurandhar universe remains a dominant force across both theatrical and television platforms well into 2026.

Border 2 vs. Dhurandhar 2: Exhibitors Reportedly Reject Anil Thadani's Clubbing Strategy for Yash-Starrer Toxic
The distribution landscape for 2026 is witnessing a high-stakes standoff between major film distributors and theatre exhibitors. According to a scoop by Bollywood Hungama, veteran distributor Anil Thadani (AA Films) is reportedly attempting to use the massive leverage of Sunny Deol's Border 2 to secure prime showcasing for another highly anticipated project, the Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. This clubbing strategy is a common industry practice where a distributor mandates that exhibitors screen a specific slate of films as a package deal in exchange for the rights to a guaranteed blockbuster. However, this move has reportedly met with significant resistance from exhibitors, primarily due to the impending arrival of Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2. Following the All-Time Blockbuster status of the first Dhurandhar in 2025, the sequel starring Ranveer Singh has become one of the most sought-after titles for 2026. Theatre owners are currently hesitant to sign any restrictive package deals for Border 2 and Toxic because doing so would severely limit their ability to allot the required number of screens and shows to Dhurandhar 2 during its release window. The conflict stems from the sheer volume of high-profile content scheduled for the first half of 2026. As previously reported, Border 2 already carries a massive 199-minute runtime and distributors have already demanded up to 20 shows a day in major multiplexes. Exhibitors argue that if they are further forced to commit a specific number of screens to Toxic as part of a clubbing deal, they will have virtually no flexibility to accommodate the Dhurandhar Universe sequel, which is expected to command a similar, if not larger, screen count. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade analysts suggest that this pushback from exhibitors highlights the changing dynamics of film exhibition in the post-pandemic era, where content is king and theatre owners prefer the freedom to program based on organic demand rather than distributor pressure. While Anil Thadani remains one of the most powerful figures in film distribution, the record-breaking success of the first Dhurandhar has given exhibitors enough confidence to negotiate terms that allow them to capitalize on multiple blockbusters rather than being tied to a single distributor's slate. As of now, negotiations are reportedly ongoing. The outcome of this standoff will likely dictate the initial screen count for both Toxic and Dhurandhar 2. With Border 2 already poised for a historic Republic Day opening, the industry is closely watching how these logistical battles play out, as they will ultimately determine the box office potential of 2026's biggest cinematic events.

Mumbai, January 31 - The third instalment of Rani Mukerji-fronted cop action thriller franchise Mardaani has taken a better-than-expected start at the box office despite limited buzz and strong competition. The actress has once again proven her box office pull with Mardaani 3, which collected 4 crore net on its opening day, marking the biggest opening in the Mardaani franchise so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite facing stiff competition at the box office with Border 2, the film managed to attract audiences with its intense theme and franchise goodwill. With this opening, Mardaani 3 has surpassed its predecessors. Mardaani 2, which was a major success upon release, had opened at 3.80 crore net, while the original Mardaani had collected 3.40 crore net on Day 1. Though not extraordinary, the third instalment's improved numbers reflect growing audience interest in the franchise and Rani Mukerji's powerful screen presence as Shivani Shivaji Roy. The good start is a positive sign for the film's theatrical run, especially given the franchise's reputation for steady word-of-mouth growth. If the film holds well over the weekend, Mardaani 3 could be headed for a healthy lifetime total.

The 2003 cult classic will be re-released in cinemas on February 27, with leading multiplex chains PVR and INOX locking the film for a special theatrical run.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The decision to re-release Tere Naam was driven by consistent audience demand and the recent success of classic films returning to theatres. With younger audiences eager to experience such films on the big screen and longtime fans looking to relive the emotion, exhibitors are optimistic about the film finding decent traction despite its age. While the re-release has reignited conversations around the film, reports suggest that there are no plans regarding a sequel or remake at this point, as has been reported earlier.

Dhurandhar: Ranveer Singh Film Smashes 8th Week Ticket Booking Record as Netflix Release Confirms 3H 25M Runtime!
Ranveer Singh's global phenomenon, Dhurandhar, has officially landed on Netflix today, January 30, 2026. However, the film is achieving something rarely seen in the history of Indian cinema: even as it begins its digital journey, it is shattering theatrical records in its 8th week. While fans are flocking to OTT, the film's massive momentum on BookMyShow (BMS) proves that the Dhurandhar Mania is far from over. The biggest headline today isn't just the OTT release, but the film's incredible theatrical endurance. In its 8th week, Dhurandhar has recorded a staggering 127,000 ticket bookings on BookMyShow. This puts it in the elite bracket of films like the Gujarati blockbuster Laalo (130K) and surpasses the 8th-week performance of Stree 2 (76K) and Chhaava (84K). This level of stamina—selling over 1.25 lakh tickets two months after release—highlights a massive repeat audience and a rock-solid grip on the mass circuits, making its Netflix arrival one of the most anticipated digital events of the year. To put these numbers into perspective, very few films in Indian cinema history have managed to maintain a six-figure ticket volume on BookMyShow by their 8th week. Dhurandhar has not only dominated the current box office but has also outperformed several recent blockbusters in their late-run stages.

Interestingly, Laalo—which currently holds the 130K benchmark—boosted its pan-India presence even further with its Hindi version releasing on January 9. This data confirms that Dhurandhar is not just a hit but a long-distance runner that continues to attract thousands of daily viewers even two months after its release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As the film went live on Netflix, a debate sparked regarding its runtime. The Netflix version is clocked at 3 Hours and 25 Minutes, while the final theatrical cut was 208 minutes (3 Hours and 28 Minutes). The technical reason is simple: The Netflix version is the full uncut theatrical version. The 3-minute difference is solely due to the removal of mandatory anti-tobacco and health warnings required for cinema halls in India. On a global streaming platform like Netflix, these 3 minutes of warnings are stripped away, giving fans a seamless 205-minute experience. The version on your screens today is exactly what propelled the film to its historic box office heights.

The film's ability to gross over ₹1000 Cr within India alone (India Gross) is a testament to Ranveer Singh's unparalleled draw in the mass belts. From its high-octane action sequences to its emotional core, the film has managed to sustain a level of interest that most blockbusters lose by their fourth week. Entering the 8th week with over 1.25 lakh bookings while simultaneously releasing on OTT is a feat that may not be repeated for years to come. Dhurandhar Milestone Tracker: All-Time Blockbuster 1. The 1300 Cr Club: One of only 5 Indian films to reach ₹1300 Crore globally. 2. 8th Week Record: Highest 8th-week ticket sales for a Bollywood film with 127K bookings. 3. Domestic Giant: First film for Ranveer Singh to cross ₹800 Cr Net in India. 4. Digital Premiere: The 3H 25M cut is trending #1 on Netflix in multiple territories. Dhurandhar is a once-in-a-decade phenomenon. Whether you choose to witness the spectacle in a theater—joining the 1.27 lakh fans still booking tickets this week—or prefer the high-quality 3H 25M stream on Netflix, the experience is guaranteed to be legendary.

Border 2 Box Office (Worldwide): Sunny Deol's Film Surpasses 300+ Crore In The First Week, But Falls Short of Gadar 2
Mumbai, January 30 – Sunny Deol's war drama Border 2 has crossed the 300-crore gross mark at the worldwide box office within its first week, emerging as the actor's second film after Gadar 2 to achieve the feat. The Anurag Singh directorial also becomes the first 300-crore worldwide grosser for Varun Dhawan as well as for the director. Released amid massive expectations, Border 2 opened on a solid note and went on to explode during the Republic Day extended weekend, grossing approximately 250 crore worldwide in its first four days. The film showed an encouraging hold on Tuesday, but collections dipped more than expected on Wednesday, followed by a routine drop on Thursday, taking the first-week total close to 310 crore gross. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the domestic box office, the blockbuster sequel has grossed around 268+ crore (224+ crore net) in India. Overseas markets have contributed approximately 41 crore, pushing the total worldwide cume to about 309 crore gross in seven days. While these numbers are undeniably strong, they fall slightly short of the sky-high trade expectations initially associated with the film. After the explosive opening weekend, Border 2 appeared poised for a historic run similar to Gadar 2. However, the sharper-than-anticipated weekday drop has somewhat tempered those prospects. For comparison, Gadar 2 had grossed close to 370 crore worldwide in its first week and went on to finish with an extraordinary lifetime total of nearly 700 crore. The second weekend will be crucial in determining Border 2's long-term box office trajectory. That said, the absence of major competing releases, even though Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 released today, should allow the film to sustain steady collections over the next couple of weeks. At present, the film is trending toward a 500 crore worldwide lifetime finish, which would still be solid overall. Stay tuned...

Border 2 Box Office Footfalls: Crossing 1 Crore Admissions; Can it Reach the Original Border's 3.7 Crore?
While box office collections are often inflated by rising ticket prices, the true measure of a film's impact is its Footfalls (theatrical admissions). Bollywood has a long-standing love affair with Army Films, but only a few have managed to mobilize the masses in crore-plus numbers. With Sunny Deol's Border 2 currently storming the box office, it has officially entered the elite club of war films with over 1 crore admissions in just its first week. However, the path to the original 1997 Border’s legendary record is still a mountain to climb. Even after 29 years, J.P. Dutta's Border remains the gold standard for war cinema in India. With a staggering 3.70 crore footfalls, it attracted nearly double the audience of modern-day blockbusters like Uri: The Surgical Strike. In an era where a 2-crore footfall is considered a massive success, Border's reach across single screens and rural India remains an untouchable benchmark. Bollywood's Army Films: Theatrical Footfalls Comparison MOVIE NAME (YEAR) THEATRICAL FOOTFALLS BOX OFFICE STATUS Border (1997) 3.71 Crore All-Time Blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) 1.82 Crore All-Time Blockbuster Border 2 (2026) 1.15 Crore* Trending Blockbuster Lakshya (2004) 78.4 Lakhs Average (Cult Classic) LOC Kargil (2003) 48.0 Lakhs FLop Sam Bahadur (2023) 47.0 Lakhs Hit Ikkis (2026) 14.2 Lakhs Flop 120 Bahadur (2025) 9.0 Lakhs Flop Paltan (2018) 7.3 Lakhs Flop (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Border 2 is currently trending at an exceptional pace. While it has already dwarfed the footfalls of viusally impressive biopics like Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur (47 Lakhs) and the recently released 120 Bahadur (9 Lakhs), it is now chasing the 1.82 crore mark set by Uri. The reason for this massive disparity in footfalls highlights the sheer difference in market scale between urban biopics and mass-market entertainers. While Sam Bahadur was a highly successful and efficient hit, finishing its global run at ₹130.3 Cr, Border 2 has operated on an entirely different level of market penetration. By amassing ₹309 Cr globally and clocking 1.15 crore admissions in just 8 days, the Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan starrer has already eclipsed the lifetime reach of urban-centric hits. This trend proves that while multiplex-heavy films like Sam Bahadur have a solid loyal base, the patriotic mass-sentiment of the Indian heartland offers a significantly higher box office ceiling, catapulting Border 2 into the elite tier of Indian cinema. War Movie Hall of Fame: Footfall Milestones 1. The 3-Crore Club: Border (1997) (Only war film to ever cross this milestone in India) 2. The 1.5-Crore Club: Uri (2019) (Defined the modern era of war films with high repeat value) 3. The Fast-Track 1-Crore: Border 2 (2026) (Fastest war movie sequel to reach 1.15 Crore admissions) 4. OTT Impact: Shershaah & Pippa (Bypassed theaters; was reported as the most-watched Indian film on Amazon Prime Video in India at the time of its release) With no major competition for the next week, Border 2 is expected to comfortably cross the 1.5 crore footfall mark by its second weekend. While matching the monumental 3.7 crore footfall mark of the original Border remains a daunting task in the modern era of shorter theatrical windows, the current momentum suggests we shouldn't rule anything out just yet. For now, Border 2 is almost certain to challenge Uri: The Surgical Strike for the #2 spot on the all-time list of war films. Whether it can go the full distance to claim the absolute #1 spot is a wait and watch scenario for the trade. However, the data proves one thing clearly: the Indian audience will always show up in crores for a war story that perfectly blends high-stakes emotion, grounded action, and the right Mass treatment

Dhurandhar OTT Release: Netflix Expands Reach, But Reduced Runtime For Ranveer Singh's All-Time Blockbuster
Mumbai, January 30 - Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar has finally made its much-awaited OTT debut on Netflix, after scripting history at the global box office. After a record-breaking theatrical run, the movie is now available not just in Hindi but also in dubbed Telugu and Tamil versions, allowing the film to tap into a much wider pan-India and global audience. The multilingual release underlines Netflix's strategy to maximise the digital footprint of one of the biggest Hindi blockbusters in recent times, and also sets the stage for the multilingual theatrical release of Dhurandhar 2, which hits the big screens on March 19 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The availability of Dhurandhar in South Indian languages has been welcomed by fans, who have been demanding release in other languages. With subtitles and dubbed versions, the film is now expected to find a fresh audience on streaming, further strengthening its post-theatrical impact. However, while the OTT release has expanded the film's accessibility, it has also sparked discussion due to a reduced runtime. The Netflix version is shorter than the theatrical cut, with several minutes trimmed from the original length. The OTT version is 3 hours and 25 minutes long against the 3 hours and 34 minutes of theatrical runtime. This has led to mixed reactions among viewers, particularly those who watched the film in cinemas and were expecting the uncut version to premiere on digital platforms. Despite the trimmed runtime, Dhurandhar continues to command strong interest on OTT, driven by its blockbuster tag, massive box-office legacy, and the curiosity surrounding its second part.

Border 2 vs Gadar 2 Opening week Box Office Comparison: The Battle of Mass Action Sequels!
Both Gadar 2 and Border 2 have demonstrated extraordinary momentum at the Indian box office, particularly in the mass circuits. A key highlight of their theatrical run is the incredible speed at which they reached the ₹200 crore mark. Both films achieved this coveted milestone within just 5 days of their release, proving that the appetite for high-octane sequels remains at an all-time high in India. The comparison, however, highlights a significant difference in weekday stamina. Gadar 2 benefited from a massive holiday hangover following the Independence Day surge, which allowed it to maintain an exceptional ₹32.37 crore even on its first working Wednesday. In contrast, Border 2 saw a more pronounced decline after its record-breaking 5-day opening sprint, with collections normalizing to a standard weekday pace. Border 2 followed a historic trajectory during its opening weekend. By the end of its first Monday (Day 4), the film had already amassed ₹180 crore, and with a ₹20 crore collection on Day 5 (Tuesday), it successfully entered the ₹200 crore club in record time. While Border 2 saw a sharper drop on Tuesday compared to Gadar 2, its overall cumulative total remains highly competitive, setting the stage for a massive lifetime run. 7 Days Box Office Comparison: Border 2 vs Gadar 2 (India Net) DAY BORDER 2 (COLLECTION) GADAR 2 (COLLECTION) Day 1 [Friday] ₹ 30.00 Cr ₹ 40.10 Cr Day 2 [Saturday] ₹ 36.50 Cr ₹ 43.08 Cr Day 3 [Sunday] ₹ 54.50 Cr ₹ 51.70 Cr Day 4 [Monday] ₹ 59.00 Cr ₹ 38.70 Cr Day 5 [Tuesday] ₹ 20.00 Cr ₹ 55.40 Cr Day 6 [Wednesday] ₹ 13.00 Cr ₹ 32.37 Cr Day 7 [Thursday] ₹ 11.25 Cr* ₹ 23.28 Cr Total Week 1 ₹ 224.25 Cr ₹ 284.63 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On its first Wednesday (Day 6), Gadar 2 maintained a superior hold, earning ₹32.37 crore net in India. This followed its massive Independence Day holiday where it collected a staggering ₹55.4 crore. The film's ability to stay above the ₹30 crore mark on a working weekday cemented its status as an all-time blockbuster. In comparison, Border 2 saw its first Wednesday collections drop to an estimated ₹13 crore. This suggests that after the initial 5-day sprint, the film is now relying on standard audience footfalls rather than the holiday-driven frenzy that propelled Gadar 2. However, Gadar 2 currently holds several secondary records, including the highest net collections for a second weekend (over ₹90 crore), which Border 2 will need to challenge to reach the ₹600 crore lifetime club. While both films shared an identical start in terms of speed, Gadar 2's extraordinary second-week trend remained exceptionally flat due to high repeat footfalls in single screens across UP, Bihar, and Rajasthan. For Border 2 to challenge the ₹686 crore worldwide lifetime mark of Gadar 2, the upcoming second Friday will be the crucial litmus test. It will determine if the Day 6 dip was a one-time stabilization or a signal of a faster-than-expected slowdown in the mass circuits.

Mardaani 3 Release Strategy: Producers Implement Scarcity Model with Capped Showings and Flat Pricing
In a significant departure from standard distribution practices, the release strategy for Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 has been finalized. According to reports from Bollywood Hungama, the makers are opting for a Curated Release aimed at maximizing occupancy percentages rather than sheer screen count. The strategy involves two major pillars: Controlled Supply and Affordable Pricing. Unlike typical blockbusters that aim for 15–20 shows in multiplexes, Mardaani 3 will have a strict cap of no more than 6 shows per day in any theater, regardless of the number of screens. Furthermore, in two-screen theaters, the film will only begin showcasing from 3:00 PM onwards, targeting the evening and night audience. The film will follow the ticket pricing structure of the 2026 film Saiyaara, which utilized a Flat Pricing model. By keeping ticket prices at par with mid-budget content-driven cinema, the producers are aiming to drive high footfalls in the initial weekend. This strategy is designed to create an In-Demand atmosphere where limited tickets and lower prices lead to rapid Sold Out status across centers. Mardaani Franchise: Release Strategy Evolution FILM DISTRIBUTION MODEL PRICING STRATEGY VERDICT Mardaani (2014) Standard (1200+ Screens) Standard Multiplex Rates Hit Mardaani 2 (2019) Wide (1600+ Screens) Premium Pricing Hit Mardaani 3 (2026) Limited (Capped at 6 Shows) Affordable (Saiyaara Model) TBA (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While this strategy might limit the Opening Day record potential, it is expected to stabilize the India Net collections over the first two weeks. By ensuring that every show is nearly full, the film benefits from positive word-of-mouth generated by a packed house. For a franchise like Mardaani, which relies on social messaging and intense drama, a sold-out theatre experience often leads to better audience reception than a half-empty premium screening. The Scarcity Effect: Box Office Math 1. High Occupancy %: By limiting shows to 6 per day, the film is more likely to report 80-90% occupancy, which triggers FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) among audiences. 2. Evening Prime Focus: Starting at 3:00 PM eliminates low-performing morning shows, saving on operational costs and concentrating revenue in high-value time slots. 3. Sustenance over Opening: This model prioritizes Long Legs (steady collections over weeks) rather than a massive Day 1 that crashes on Day 4.

King Movie Production Update: Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand Film 50 Crore Action Sequence in Europe
The production of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming action thriller King has reached a new scale. Reports from Bollywood Hungama confirm that director Siddharth Anand and the production team recently concluded a massive 10-day action schedule in Europe, with a total expenditure of ₹50 crore for this single sequence. This brings the average daily production cost of the schedule to approximately ₹5 crore. The film, which features an ensemble cast including Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan, is being mounted on a reported budget of ₹350 crore (excluding marketing). Siddharth Anand, known for high-budget spectacles like Pathaan and War, has reportedly designed six major action set pieces for the film. The Europe schedule featured a high-octane confrontation shot at real international locations rather than on a studio set. In Indian cinema, a ₹50 crore spend on a single action sequence represents a major industry benchmark. For context, the introductory sequences for the lead characters in S.S. Rajamouli's RRR were reportedly filmed at a cost of approximately ₹45 crore. By investing ₹50 crore in a 10-day block, the makers of King are aiming for a level of realism and scale that matches international action standards. Indian Cinema: Most Expensive Action Sequences Ever Filmed MOVIE NAME SEQUENCE COST (EST) LOCATION / KEY DETAIL King (2026) ₹ 50.00 Cr Europe (10-Day Real Location Shoot) RRR (2022) ₹ 45.00 Cr Climax Sequence (Massive Junior Artist Count) 2.0 (2018) ₹ 20.00 Cr Stadium Climax (VFX & Animatronics) Saaho (2019) ₹ 70.00 Cr Abu Dhabi Desert Chase (Real Car Crashes) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The decision to film these sequences on real locations suggests a focus on realistic action over studio-based VFX. With the shooting scheduled to wrap by mid-2026, the film is expected to have a significant post-production window to ensure technical precision for its December release. While Saaho and 2.0 spent heavily on hardware (cars) and VFX (CGI), the ₹50 crore spend for King is unique because it is being spent on a real-location shoot in Europe. This indicates a shift in Siddharth Anand's filmmaking—moving away from studio-based green screens toward high-stakes, realistic action similar to the Mission Impossible franchise. Siddharth Anand: Evolution of Action Scale 1. War (2019): First Indian film shot in the Arctic Circle (Finland). 2. Pathaan (2023): Introduced the Frozen Lake chase sequence in Siberia. 3. Fighter (2024): India's first aerial action franchise using real fighter jets. 4. King (2026): ₹50 Crore single-sequence budget at real European locations.

Border 2 Box Office: Varun Dhawan Scores Career-Best Collection; Surpasses Dilwale to Hit New Milestone
The massive theatrical run of Border 2 has not only benefited Sunny Deol but has also rewritten the career records for Varun Dhawan. Within just six days of its release, the war drama has surpassed the lifetime collections of Dilwale (₹148.72 Cr) to become the highest-grossing film for the actor. Varun Dhawan, who portrays the real-life hero Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, has entered the Double Century (₹200 Crore) club for the first time with this film. While his previous hits like Judwaa 2 and Badrinath Ki Dulhania showcased his pull in the rom-com and masala genres, Border 2 establishes his success in the high-octane patriotic action space. With Border 2 recording an India net collection of ₹213.00 crore in 6 days (and trending towards much higher), the actor's top 5 list has undergone a significant shift. The film has displaced long-standing leaders like Judwaa 2 and ABCD 2, marking a new peak in his 14-year career.

January 2026 Box Office Report: Indian Cinema Starts Year with Clean Hits Across All Major Industries
January 2026 has concluded with several films achieving Clean Hit status across five major Indian film industries. The month saw a balanced performance between high-budget sequels in the North and festive releases in the South. In Bollywood, Border 2 has emerged as the most significant earner, recording an India net collection of ₹213 crore within its first six days. The film reached the ₹200 crore mark in five days, matching the velocity of previous major sequels. The Tollywood Sankranti releases established several territory-specific records. MSVP demonstrated significant theatrical strength in the Nizam circuit, recording 100% occupancy across nearly all single screens during the first four days and becoming the first film of 2026 to achieve a Nizam Breakeven within just 72 hours. Internationally, NNNM dominated the charts by surpassing the $1.2 Million mark in USA premieres alone, ranking it among the highest openings for a non-sequel in the North American market. In urban centers, Anaganaga Oka Raju showcased a notable Flat Trend where its Day 5 (Tuesday) collections in Hyderabad multiplexes were 10% higher than its Day 1 morning shows, indicating exceptionally strong word-of-mouth among family audiences. In Kollywood, the political satire Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimayil (TTT) has emerged as the industry's first major success of 2026. Capitalizing on the Pongal festive window, the Jiiva-starrer recorded an India net collection of ₹26.63 crore . The film's strong theatrical run has been supported by a steady overseas contribution of ₹3.15 crore, pushing its worldwide gross beyond the ₹34 crore mark within two weeks. With its theatrical recovery comfortably crossing the break-even point, TTT has been officially declared a Clean Hit, marking a significant commercial victory for the makers in the early 2026 season. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the Malayalam film industry (Mollywood), Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies has emerged as the first major success of the year. Produced on a reported budget of ₹10 crore, the film crossed the break-even mark within its first week of release. The film's strong performance is significantly driven by international markets, recording an overseas collection of ₹12.9 crore in Week 1. This robust contribution from the overseas circuit, combined with steady domestic footfalls, has secured the film's status as a Clean Hit. In the Kannada film industry (Sandalwood), the low-budget film Landlord has completed its first 6 days with an India net collection of ₹3.83 crore. Produced on a reported budget of ₹4 crore, the film has shown a consistent trend in B and C centers.
