Border 2 worldwide box office collection day 3: War drama Border 2 has taken a flying start at the box office, registering impressive jumps in collection both in India and abroad.

Border 2 box office update

Border 2 opened well, earning ₹30 crore net on its first day despite cancellations of several morning shows. The film registered a decent increase on Saturday, and then defied all expectations on Sunday to mint ₹54.50 crore net on the day. The Anurag Singh film has now earned ₹121 crore net ( ₹142.5 crore gross) in India on its opening weekend.

Globally, the film has started strongly, hovering around the $2.6 million mark in international territories after Sunday. This takes the film’s global haul to an impressive ₹167 crore after three days. The film should stretch this beyond ₹200 crore and close to ₹250 crore, with a bumper Republic Day on the cards.

Border 2 beats Jaat lifetime earnings

With its ₹167-crore haul, Border 2 has become the first Hindi film of the year to go past the ₹100-crore mark. It has also become the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the year behind the two Telugu Sankranthi releases. Given its momentum, the Sunny Deol-starrer will take the top spot soon enough. On Sunday, Border 2 surpassed the lifetime collections of Sunny’s previous release, Jaat, which earned ₹119 crore worldwide last year.
