Although Border 2 has performed well overall, it remains behind Sunny Deol’s previous blockbuster Gadar 2, which had already entered the Rs 400 crore domestic club within 12 days. The film is also trailing Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, which recorded a much higher Day 12 collection and stronger overall domestic earnings.
On a positive note, Border 2 has emerged as Varun Dhawan’s biggest box office success so far, offering him a much-needed commercial hit after a series of underperforming releases. Compared to recent war-themed films like Fighter, Sky Force, and Sam Bahadur, Border 2 has delivered significantly stronger numbers, reinforcing its commercial success despite the competition.
