Sunny Deol's 'Border 2' narrowly missed out beating Ranveer Singh's Dhurandahr's Day 1 worldwide collection

Sunny Deol- Anurag Singh’s Border 2 has begun its theatrical journey on a strong note both in India and overseas, but the film narrowly missed rewriting the worldwide Day 1 record set last year by Dhurandhar, headlined by Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar. While the numbers signal a healthy start for the war drama, the Day 1 global championship remains with Dhurandhar though just by a sliver.

According to early estimates from Sacnilk.com, Border 2 posted a Rs 30 crore nett / Rs 36 crore gross on its opening day in India. Overseas markets contributed an estimated Rs 5 crore, bringing the film’s Day 1 worldwide gross to Rs 41 crore.Sunny Deol hasn't been an overseas star no mattr how bigs his films were.

Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster had collected approximately 850K USD (around Rs 7.7 crore) from international territories on Day 1, alongside a Rs 27 crore nett / Rs 32.40 crore gross India opening. That took its global Day 1 tally to approximately ₹41.5 crore, allowing Dhurandhar to maintain a narrow lead at the top of the charts.
