Mumbai: Sunny Deol, Ahan Shetty, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh’s Border 2 released today (January 23), bringing back the legacy of JP Dutta’s 1997 war drama Border. Directed by Anurag Singh, the sequel has generated strong buzz ahead of its release, with the Internet praising the film.
The film has also recorded encouraging booking numbers. As per trade tracker, Border 2 has collected Rs 10 crore in advance sales for Day 1 by selling more than 4 lakh tickets across 15,000 shows nationwide. The booking figures are expected to go past Rs 10 crore by Thursday midnight.
The focus now shifts to its opening day performance. It remains to be seen whether Border 2 can outdo the Day 1 collections of 2025’s top releases, including Dhurandhar, which opened at Rs 28 crore, and Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which registered Rs 31 crore on its first day.
Suniel Shetty’s character died a tragic yet heroic death in the 1997 film Border. The actor wrote a beautiful note, wishing his son Ahan Shetty and the rest of the cast and crew for the film’s success. He posted a video, which contained glimpses from both Border 2 and Border.
“Border 2 releases today. My Sun, today I must tell you that for me, Border was never just a film I acted in. It became a responsibility I carried long after the cameras stopped rolling. Years later, watching you wear the uniform brings it full circle – not as nostalgia, but as a reminder. Of discipline. Sacrifice. Silence. Courage. This film isn’t about glory. This film isn’t about war. It’s a reminder of why peace exists. A border isn’t where the country ends – it’s where courage begins. And some stories don’t stay on screen – they stay in the spine of a nation. May we never forget what that uniform truly stands for. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat.”
