Border 2 added Rs 13 crore on its sixth day, pushing the domestic total to Rs 213 crore after a strong opening week that began with Rs 121 crore in the first three days. Critics note its nostalgic appeal amid box office success.
Following its impressive first three days totaling Rs 121 crore domestically (Rs 30 crore Friday, Rs 36.5 crore Saturday, Rs 54.5 crore Sunday), Border 2 collected Rs 13 crore on Wednesday, its sixth day, reflecting a post-weekend dip despite high night show occupancy.
Worldwide, the film nears Rs 300 crore. While succeeding commercially as a sequel to the 1997 classic—reprising elements like 'Sandese Aate Hain' and echoing dialogues—reviews from The Indian Express criticize its reliance on nostalgia, fantastical action, and lack of fresh war film insights. It celebrates soldier valor amid recent hits like Fighter and Sam Bahadur but doesn't delve into war's futility.
The performance signals Bollywood resurgence, building on filmmaker Karan Johar's earlier celebrations.
