Box Office Collection (February 11, 2026): Mardaani 3 Nears ₹40 Crore Mark, Border 2 Sees Midweek Slowdown
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.
