One of the most memorable comebacks by a Bollywood star this decade is Sunny Deol’s in Gadar 2. Not only did the film become one of the highest Hindi nett grossers ever, but it also proved Sunny Deol’s bankability and made the young generation witness his mass avatar in theaters. Hoping to replicate the success, Sunny Deol is set to lead Border 2, a sequel to his classic war drama. Just like the 1997 blockbuster, Border 2 is also based on the 1971 India-Pakistan war.

Why Should You Watch Border 2?

As for the Border 2 movie director, the film is helmed by Anurag Singh, known for Kesari, replacing J.P. Dutta.
There lie several reasons behind the present hype that can boost the Border 2 box office collection. Besides the star cast, another reason is the trust Sunny Deol has earned to star in a great sequel after the highly positive reception of Gadar 2.
Alongside, Border’s songs were chartbusters that continue to be loved by generations, which will be re-created by composer Mithoon in Border 2. The songs set to be remade include Sandese Aate Hai and Hindustan Meri Jaan.

What To Expect From Border 2 Box Office Collection?
The Border 2 film budget is a cost of Rs 150 crore. Such a low production cost increases the film’s chances of earning better profits. On top of that, it is a Sunny Deol-led patriotic war drama, a sequel to his own iconic blockbuster, releasing around the Republic Day weekend. While things feel near perfect for the film, a much clearer picture of its hype and the upcoming Border 2 day wise collection would be seen when its teaser or trailer is released, and the audience develops their positive or negative perception of this upcoming film.
Among the other aspects are the films surrounding it at the box office in its previous week. On 16 January 2026, Tumbbad director Rahi Anil Barve is making his comeback with Mayasabha, a film that could work well with favorable word of mouth. On the same date, the Aamir Khan production Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a Vir Das-directed comical entertainer, whose announcement has attracted a hugely positive response. Additionally, it is co-directed by Kavi Shastri and features Aamir Khan and Imran Khan in a cameo. It is another smaller but WOM-dependent film.
The two films together, if they attract considerable attention from the audience, can slightly affect the box office collection of Border 2, just like how OMG 2 slightly affected Gadar 2. Looking at the larger picture, Border’s 2-day-wise collection is expected to stand among the top grossers India. Here onwards, the film can be affected by nothing else but its own fate, i.e., only by delivering below-par pre-release assets like the teaser and trailer or disappointing the audience and attracting negative reviews post-release.
