Now on the opening day, the film has made Rs 11.07 crore so far till afternoon.

Trade experts are calling the release timing a strategic win. Hitting cinemas this Friday, the film is set to capitalise on the extended four-day Republic Day holiday window. Early projections indicate that the opening day numbers could push close to the Rs 35 crore mark, while the cumulative haul over the long weekend is expected to comfortably cross Rs 125 crore. With such a powerful start on the cards, Border 2 is shaping up to be more than just a hit sequel, potentially placing itself among the biggest earners in the history of Indian cinema.
