Border 2 has witnessed over 50 percent drop at the Indian box office on Wednesday, when compared to Friday, but the movie has inched closer to Rs 250 crore net mark in six days.
Having done superb business in extended weekend, Border 2 showed around 30 percent drop on Tuesday, when compared to its opening day business. The movie has witnessed further drop of another 20 percent on Wednesday. But its business is far better than the collection of many big ticket movies.
Taran Adarsh tweeted. "#Border2 continues its victorious run... Collections slowed on Wednesday noon due to the post-holiday working-day effect, but picked up towards the evening shows. The film is performing strongest in the mass circuits and heartland markets, which are contributing a major chunk of the overall business."
Border 2 has collected Rs 15.04 crore net at the Indian box office on Wednesday, taking it six day total to Rs 231.83 crore net in the domestic market. Taran posted, " #Border2 [Week 1] Fri 32.10 cr, Sat 40.59 cr, Sun 57.20 cr, Mon 63.59 cr [#RepublicDay], Tue 23.31 cr, Wed 15.04 cr. Total: ₹ 231.83 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice."
Gandhi Talkies, Human Cocaine, Mayasabha and Mardaani 3 are scheduled for release on January 30. They will force out Border 2 from some screens, but word of mouth will help it do well in the second week. The trade expert tweeted, "Despite multiple new releases arriving this Friday, #Border2 is expected to witness a healthy jump over the weekend, driven by strong word of mouth."
