Day 9 and Day 17 numbers reveal a David vs Goliath clash—stay tuned as these blockbusters fight for supremacy. Dig inside to get the details of the colletion and how the film has so far performed at the box office.
Mardaani 3 collections
Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, hit theatres on January 30, 2026. The action thriller earned Rs 4 crore on Day 1, jumped to Rs 6.25 Cr on Day 2, and peaked at Rs 7.25 crore on Sunday. By Day 8, totals reached Rs 28.15 crore India net, with Day 9 adding around Rs 2.75 crore to push it over Rs 30.90 crore. Worldwide, it stands at Rs 41.25 crore, showing steady but slowing weekday holds amid competition.
Border 2 collections
Border 2, led by Sunny Deol, stormed in on January 23, 2026, with a massive Rs 32 crore opening. It exploded to Rs 56.30 crore on Day 3 and Rs 60 crore on Republic Day Monday, hitting Week 1 at Rs 235.38 crore India net. By Day 17, the war drama grossed Rs 360.75 crore total and Rs 301.52 crore net, running across 84,837 shows despite entering its third week. Strong mass appeal keeps it adding Rs 3-4 crore daily.
Collection comparison
Border 2 dwarfs Mardaani 3 with over 10 times the India net (Rs 301 crore vs Rs 31 crore) in nearly double days, thanks to patriotic war hype and Sunny Deol’s pull. Mardaani 3 holds decently for a franchise sequel but faces Border’s shadow, dipping faster post-weekend. Border eyes Rs 325 crore lifetime, while Mardaani heads to Rs 37-40 crore, marking it average. This clash highlights war epics’ edge over cop thrillers currently.
