The Wednesday box office witnessed steady but slowing numbers for two major Hindi releases — Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3 and Sunny Deol’s Border 2. While Mardaani 3 inches closer to the ₹40 crore mark after nearly two weeks in theatres, Border 2 continues its strong overall run despite a noticeable midweek dip.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of their Day 13 and Day 20 collections respectively.

Mardaani 3 Day 13 Box Office Collection

Rani Mukerji’s crime thriller earned ₹1.10 crore on its second Wednesday (Day 13), taking its total India net collection to ₹39.80 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

The film opened with ₹4 crore on Day 1 and saw a strong jump of 56.25% on Day 2, collecting ₹6.25 crore. Its highest single-day collection came on the first Sunday, when it minted ₹7.25 crore.

However, the film has slowed considerably in its second week, with daily earnings dropping to single digits. Despite positive word-of-mouth in urban centres, Mardaani 3 is facing stiff competition and limited mass pull.

Key Highlights:

• Opening Day: ₹4 crore
• First Sunday Peak: ₹7.25 crore
• Day 13 Collection: ₹1.10 crore
• Total India Net: ₹39.80 crore

Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the film also stars Janki Bodiwala and Mallika Prasad in key roles. The film now needs a steady second weekend hold to comfortably cross the ₹40 crore milestone.

Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 20

Sunny Deol’s war drama Border 2 registered a drop on its 20th day. After earning ₹2.5 crore on Tuesday, the film collected ₹1.75 crore on Wednesday (Day 20).

Despite the midweek slowdown, the film’s total India net collection stands at a strong ₹316 crore.

On the global front, Border 2 has crossed the ₹400 crore mark worldwide, with total collections touching approximately ₹430 crore, making it one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2026 so far.

Key Highlights:

• Day 20 Collection: ₹1.75 crore
• India Net Total: ₹316 crore
• Worldwide Total: ₹430 crore

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is a spiritual sequel to the 1997 blockbuster Border and features Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh alongside Sunny Deol.

Box Office Analysis: Where Both Films Stand

📌 Mardaani 3

• Approaching ₹40 crore mark
• Urban-centric appeal
• Dependent on word-of-mouth
• Needs strong weekend push

📌 Border 2

• Already a commercial success
• Sustaining well in its third week
• Strong overseas performance
• Midweek drops are natural at this stage

While Mardaani 3 aims to stabilize its second-week performance, Border 2 continues to capitalize on patriotic appeal and franchise nostalgia.

With no major blockbuster releases this week, both films may continue to hold screens — but weekend numbers will determine their long-term trajectory.

Ranveer Singh is all set to return to the big screen with the second instalment of his much-talked-about spy thriller Dhurandhar. Titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Following the success and anticipation surrounding the first part, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to make the sequel a pan-India release.

Recently, the first poster of Dhurandhar 2 featuring Ranveer Singh was unveiled, instantly grabbing fans’ attention and generating strong buzz across social media platforms.

Dhurandhar 2 to Get a Multi-Language Release

To ensure the film reaches a wider audience across the country, the makers have officially confirmed that Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be released in multiple regional languages along with Hindi.

Languages Dhurandhar 2 Will Release In:

• Hindi
• Telugu
• Tamil
• Kannada
• Malayalam

With this multi-language release strategy, the makers aim to tap into the massive South Indian market, making Dhurandhar 2 one of Ranveer Singh’s biggest pan-India releases to date.

Dhurandhar 2 Title and Teaser Details

Along with announcing the official title, the makers also revealed the teaser release date and time. The teaser of Dhurandhar: The Revenge is set to drop on February 3, 2026, at 12:12 PM.

The newly released poster hints at a darker, more intense chapter in the Dhurandhar universe, with Ranveer Singh expected to reprise his role in a high-octane, action-packed avatar.

About the Dhurandhar Franchise

The Dhurandhar film series is written and directed by Aditya Dhar, best known for his blockbuster film Uri: The Surgical Strike. The franchise is being produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios.

With Aditya Dhar at the helm and Ranveer Singh leading the cast, expectations are high for Dhurandhar: The Revenge to deliver gripping storytelling, stylised action, and strong performances.

As the teaser drops later today, fans are eagerly waiting to get their first glimpse of what promises to be an intense and action-heavy sequel. With its pan-India release and a popular lead star, Dhurandhar 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2026.

Border 2 continues its strong run at the Indian box office, achieving a major milestone within its opening week. The war drama, headlined by Sunny Deol, along with Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, has officially entered the Rs 200 crore club in just six days, cementing its position as one of the biggest Hindi releases of 2026 so far.

Despite the expected weekday slowdown after a bumper Republic Day boost, the film has managed to maintain steady footfalls across multiplexes and single screens alike.

Border 2 box office collection Day 6 (India net)

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film opened to an impressive Rs 30 crore on its first Friday. Collections jumped to Rs 36.5 crore on Saturday, followed by a massive surge on Sunday, where it earned Rs 54.5 crore.

The momentum continued into Monday (Republic Day), with Border 2 raking in Rs 59 crore, its highest single-day collection so far. As expected, earnings dipped on Tuesday, bringing in Rs 20 crore. On Day 6 (Wednesday), the film added another Rs 13 crore.

This takes Border 2’s total six-day India net collection to approximately Rs 213 crore, officially placing it in the elite Rs 200 crore club within its first week.

Performance trend and audience response

Trade analysts attribute the film’s success to strong nostalgia value, patriotic appeal, and Sunny Deol’s mass connect, particularly in North India. While weekday numbers indicate a gradual stabilisation, Border 2 continues to outperform most recent releases, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres.

With the weekend approaching, the film is expected to see another spike in collections.

Border 2 cast, release date and background

Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by JP Dutta along with Nidhi Dutta, Border 2 released theatrically on January 23, 2026—nearly 29 years after the original Border (1997), which went on to become a cult classic.

Apart from Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, the film also stars Sonam Bajwa, Medha Singh, Mona Singh, Paramvir Singh Cheema, and others in pivotal roles.

Given its current trajectory, Border 2 is well on track to post one of the highest first-week totals for a Hindi film in recent times.
