Sunny Deol's Border 2 has made fantastic collection at the Indian box office in the second week and topped the domestic business chart, beating Rani Mukherji's Mardaani 3.
When compared to its opening day, Border 2 witnessed around a 50 percent drop, but it showed decent growth over the weekend. The movie once again slipped and continued to fall on the following weekdays. The film has collected Rs 78.92 crore net at the Indian box office in the second week, taking its 14-day total collection to Rs 323.89 crore net.
Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#Border2 records a fantastic ₹75 cr+ in Week 2, despite multiple new releases hitting screens last Friday... The film held exceptionally well over the weekend – particularly on Saturday and Sunday – and maintained strong consistency on weekdays."
Taran added, "Its performance in mass pockets and the heartland continues to dominate the overall business. #Border2 [Week 2] Fri 12.53 cr, Sat 20.17 cr, Sun 24.22 cr, Mon 6.52 cr, Tue 6.69 cr, Wed 4.88 cr, Thu 3.91 cr. Total: ₹ 323.89 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice #Border2 biz at a glance... Week 1: ₹ 244.97 cr Week 2: ₹ 78.92 cr Total: ₹ 323.89 cr."
Mardaani 3 opened to a good response and showed decent growth over the weekend. The movie showed a dip on Monday and held rock steady on the following weekdays. The film has collected Rs 26.55 crore at the Indian box office in the first week. Taran tweeted, "#Mardaani3 [Week 1] Fri 4 cr, Sat 6 cr, Sun 7.25 cr, Mon 2.40 cr, Tue 2.70 cr, Wed 2.20 cr, Thu 2 cr. Total: ₹ 26.55 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice."
Mardaani 3 has failed to beat the record of Mardaani 2. The trade expert tweeted, "Mardaani3 closes Week 1 on a decent note, registering higher numbers than #Mardaani [first part], but slightly lower than #Mardaani2. Week 1 biz... #Mardaani: ₹ 22.97 cr #Mardaani2: ₹ 28.05 cr #Mardaani3: ₹ 26.55 cr."
The movie is heading to become a flop. Sumit Kadel wrote, "#Mardaani3 is a FLOP. The film's first-week business has closed at around ₹25 crore nett, which is lower than #Mardaani2, released six years ago. Lifetime collections is headed towards the ₹37-40 crore mark, with a distributor share of approximately ₹20–22 crore. The film will fail to reach the breakeven point and is expected to fall short by ₹15–20 crore.
