Border 2 Opens Strong, First Day Collections Surprise Trade

The much-awaited sequel :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} has made a solid impact at the box office on its very first day, surprising trade circles with impressive opening numbers.

According to reports, the film managed to post strong first-day collections across major centres, especially in North India, where patriotic films traditionally perform well. Multiplex occupancy was decent, while single screens showed better-than-expected footfalls, driven largely by curiosity around the sequel factor and the film’s emotional war backdrop.

Trade analysts say the opening proves that the Border brand still holds value with audiences, even years after the original film became a cult classic. The real test, however, will be how the movie performs over the weekend and whether word-of-mouth sustains momentum.

With a respectable opening locked in, Border 2 has already cleared its first hurdle — grabbing attention in a crowded release window.
