The Comparison
While Border 2 has shattered records for 2026, it sits slightly behind the all-time Republic Day record-holder, Pathaan (which earned ₹55 Cr on its opening day). However, it has comfortably outperformed other major war dramas and Sunny Deol’s own recent hits in the initial weekend growth percentage.
