Border 2, starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, has continued to make waves at the box office, crossing the Rs 200 crore milestone after a strong first week. The film, directed by Anurag Singh, witnessed a sharp surge during the Republic Day weekend but saw a noticeable dip on its sixth day.

As per industry tracker, Sacnilk, Border 2 earned around Rs 13 crore on day six, bringing the total collection to approximately Rs 213 crore. The film opened to impressive numbers, collecting Rs 30 crore on its first day, followed by Rs 36.5 crore on Saturday. The biggest boost came from the Sunday and Republic Day period, where the film raked in Rs 54.5 crore and Rs 59 crore respectively.
