Mumbai: The latest box office figures highlight a clear contrast in the theatrical journeys of Border 2 and Mardaani 3, with both films completing key milestones at different stages of their runs. While Border 2 continued its extended theatrical performance into its third week, Mardaani 3 wrapped up its first week with modest but steady numbers.

Here is a closer look at how the two films performed on their respective last reported days.

Border 2 day 15 box office collection

On Day 15 (second Friday), Border 2 recorded an early estimate collection of ₹2.85 crore at the Indian box office. With this, the film’s total India net collection stands at ₹297.25 crore across all languages.

Despite a visible slowdown after the second week, the film has managed to maintain a steady hold, benefitting from its strong opening weeks and continued audience interest in mass circuits. The day-15 figure reflects the film’s ability to sustain footfalls even in its later stages of theatrical run.

Border 2 overall performance so far

By the end of Day 15, Border 2 has firmly positioned itself among the highest-grossing films of the year. Its extended run has been driven by strong weekend growth in the first two weeks, followed by expected weekday drops and stabilisation in the third week.

With a total nearing the ₹300 crore mark, the film continues to show resilience at the box office despite new releases entering theatres.

Mardaani 3 day 7 Box Office Collection

Mardaani 3 concluded its first week with a total collection of ₹26.3 crore. The film’s Day 7 (first Thursday) collection stood at ₹1.85 crore (early estimates), bringing its opening-week tally to the final figure.

The film opened on a comparatively lower note but showed improvement over the first weekend before witnessing the usual weekday drops. The first-week total reflects its performance as a content-driven release with a focused audience base.

Mardaani 3 First-week Summary

Unlike Border 2, which is running on a large-scale commercial appeal, Mardaani 3 has followed a more measured trajectory. Its opening-week performance places it in the mid-range bracket, with its future box office trend expected to depend heavily on word of mouth and second-week hold.

While Border 2 is already deep into its theatrical run, its Day-15 collection still remains higher than Mardaani 3’s Day-7 figure, highlighting the difference in scale, reach and audience pull between the two films.

Box office takeaway

The comparison underlines two very different box office stories. Border 2 continues its strong run with sustained collections even in its third week, pushing its total close to ₹300 crore.
