Border 2 collection in India stands at ₹224.25 crore after seven days. It has surpassed 2024's Republic Day release, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter's India biz, which stood at ₹212.79 crore nett during its entire run. Despite being made on a big budget, Fighter turned out to be a below average grosser. Border 2 is performing way better than Fighter at the box office.

On January 30, Border 2 will begin its second weekend. Mardaani 3 is also releasing on this day and will look to oppose Border 2's run at the box office. However, it will be an uphill task for Rani Mukerji starrer action drama as its a comparitively smaller film and will rely largely on positive word of mouth and spot booking to survive the first weekend. If the reviews are poor, then Border 2 will dominate in its second weekend.

Border 2 also stars Diljit Dosanjh,  Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, Medha Rana and Ahan Shetty. While the 1997 film Border was based on the events of the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Border 2 is also set against the backdrop of the same conflict. The movie reportedly didn’t find a release in six Gulf nations — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — due its alleged anti-Pakistan narrative.
