Boosts
Day

Prospects

Region-wise
data
further
strengthens
the
outlook
for
Border
2
Box
Office
Collection
Day
4.
Maharashtra,
one
of
the
most
critical
circuits
for
Hindi
films,
has
already
generated
about
₹6.47
crore
in
advance
booking
across
nearly
4,000
shows.
Delhi-NCR
is
close
behind,
with
pre-sales
worth
₹6.34
crore
from
around
2,100
shows.

With
minimal
Bollywood
competition
at
the
moment,
Border
2
enjoys
a
clear
run
at
the
box
office.
The
wide
screen
count,
combined
with
its
patriotic
appeal
ahead
of
Republic
Day,
is
translating
into
solid
weekday
traction.

Can
Border
2
Beat
Tiger
3’s
Post-COVID
Monday
Record?

The
big
benchmark
now
is
Salman
Khan’s
Tiger
3,
which
holds
the
record
for
the
biggest
post-COVID
Monday,
collecting
₹59.25
crore
net.
Trade
analysts
believe
Border
2
stands
a
realistic
chance
of
crossing
the
₹50
crore
mark
on
Day
4,
which
would
place
it
ahead
of
Animal
(₹44.47
crore)
and
firmly
among
the
top
Monday
performers
of
the
era.

Even
if
it
falls
short
of
Tiger
3’s
record,
Border
2
is
expected
to
secure
the
second-highest
Monday
collection
post-COVID,
further
cementing
its
blockbuster
status.
