Three weeks in. Nearly Rs 300 crore. And still going. *Border 2*, starring **Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty**, directed by **Anurag Singh** and bankrolled by JP Films & T-Series Films, has cemented itself as the first genuine blockbuster of 2026 in Hindi cinema — and the numbers from Week 3 prove the film still has fuel left.

The military actioner added **Rs 22.70 crore nett** in its third week, bringing its total India collection to **Rs 296.70 crore nett**. The Rs 300 crore milestone is now a formality, expected to be crossed comfortably in Week 4.

## A Hit Film With Super-Hit Dreams

The trade verdict on Border 2 is clear — **it’s a HIT**. At its peak, the film showed all the signs of reaching SUPER HIT or even BLOCKBUSTER territory. Weekday numbers, however, moderated those ambitions. What’s fascinating is the circuit-wise split: **Rajasthan is near BLOCKBUSTER**, while **Delhi-UP and East Punjab have clocked SUPER HIT business**. The underperformance in Gujarat and the CPCI circuits — areas where a Sunny Deol film typically dominates — is the one surprise that kept it from truly entering the stratosphere.
