Border 2 reigns at the box office
Ever since its release on January 23, Border 2 has been attracting fans to houseful theatres. The war drama is a sequel to the 1997 film and has become the top choice of family audiences. The extended weekend owing to the Republic Day holiday helped in the movie's healthy business. Based on the real-life events of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, the movie has emerged as Bollywood's first hit of the year. It also surpassed the collections of biggies like Dhurandhar to emerge as the highest opener movie in a while. The film opened to ₹30 crore, followed by ₹36.5 crore on the first Saturday and ₹54.5 crore on Sunday. At the time of publishing, Border 2 collected ₹37.61 cr on Monday, taking the total to ₹158.62 crore, as per Sacnilk. The total is likely to increase multifolds following the evening and night shows.
