The patriotic mega film ‘Border 2’ has created a massive buzz at the box office even before its theatrical release. The film’s advance booking has set new benchmarks, and the early trends clearly indicate a thunderous opening. Backed by strong pre-release buzz and high audience anticipation, the film has already earned crores for its opening day. According to reports, within just 48 hours of the start of advance booking, ‘Border 2’ has collected over ₹3.39 crore, with more than one lakh tickets sold across the country.
The film is witnessing exceptional demand across multiplexes as well as single-screen theatres. Due to its wide release and a large number of shows nationwide, several cities are already reporting fast-filling theatres, with early shows moving towards housefull status. A major factor boosting the film’s prospects is its release during the extended Republic Day weekend, which is expected to significantly push box office numbers. The advantage of a long holiday period is clearly reflecting in the advance booking figures.
Trade experts believe that if the current booking momentum continues, ‘Border 2’ is set to register a strong opening on day one. The film’s patriotic theme, grand scale, and popular star cast have struck a chord with audiences across age groups. From family viewers to younger audiences, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. In addition, strong buzz on social media platforms is likely to drive substantial walk-in audiences after release.
Industry insiders suggest that the impressive advance booking trend places ‘Border 2’ among the most promising releases of the season. With packed shows expected in key circuits and high occupancy projected throughout the opening weekend, the film is well-positioned to deliver a solid box office performance. Analysts also predict that the opening weekend collections could challenge several existing records, especially given the holiday advantage.
Overall, ‘Border 2’ has clearly announced its arrival with a bang. The remarkable pre-release earnings and enthusiastic audience response indicate that the film is on track for a blockbuster opening. All eyes are now on its release, as expectations continue to soar for what could be one of the biggest openings in recent times.
