Hello box office fans! Sunday, February 1, 2026, turned into a real battle at the ticket counters. Sunny Deol’s massive war film Border 2 (now in its second weekend) is clashing head-on with Rani Mukerji’s cop actioner Mardaani 3 (fresh in its first weekend). And guess what? Border 2 Day 10 vs Mardaani 3 Day 3 collection shows the veteran still leading by a huge margin, but the new release is quietly winning hearts in big cities.
Border 2 had an awesome second Sunday. Thanks to holiday crowds and glowing word-of-mouth, it jumped around 28% from Saturday. Early numbers point to ₹22.50 – ₹25.00 crore net in India on Day 10 alone. That takes its India total to about ₹257.55 crore net (and worldwide gross has touched ₹344 crore). Morning madness on BookMyShow hit 70 tickets per minute at peak – fans are clearly loving the patriotic action and emotions!
Mardaani 3, on the other hand, is building nicely. It opened Friday at ₹4 crore, climbed to ₹6.25 crore on Saturday, and looks set for ₹8 – ₹9 crore on its first Sunday (Day 3). Total India net so far: around ₹18.50 crore (worldwide gross ~₹23 crore). It’s doing especially well in multiplexes across Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and other metros. Fun fact – it has already beaten the full opening weekends of both earlier Mardaani films!
