Mumbai: The highly anticipated war drama “Border 2,” headlined by Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, has made a significant impact with its advance bookings ahead of its official theatrical release. The film also features an ensemble cast including Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and Rashmika Mandanna in key roles, adding to the buzz surrounding the big-ticket sequel.
The movie has demonstrated strong initial audience interest, securing a substantial figure for its first day's box office collection through pre-sales alone.
According to early reports, Border 2 has already achieved an impressive All-India gross of ₹12.5 crore for its opening day. This figure is based entirely on advance ticket sales, indicating a robust start for the film. The financial success of the advance bookings highlights the considerable anticipation surrounding the sequel. Prior to its debut, there was speculation that the film was eyeing a ₹20 crore mark for its first day, and these initial numbers show a solid step toward that goal.
The ₹12.5 crore gross was generated from the sale of 4,09,117 tickets across the country. These bookings were spread over 16,221 shows scheduled for the opening day. This wide distribution of shows, combined with the high volume of tickets already sold, establishes a strong foundation for the film's box office performance as it officially opens in theatres.
With Sunny Deol returning to a patriotic action space and Varun Dhawan stepping into a high-intensity military role, trade analysts believe strong word-of-mouth could further boost collections over the opening weekend.
