Three weeks after its massive Republic Day launch, Border 2 is still adding meaningful numbers even as daily collections naturally slow down. Meanwhile, Mardaani 3 is battling hard in its second week but finding it tough against the ongoing wave of Border 2.
As of Thursday, February 12, 2026, here’s the latest snapshot of Border 2 Day 21 vs Mardaani 3 Day 14 Collection — and why one is clearly dominating 2026 so far.
Border 2 Day 21 vs Mardaani 3 Day 14 Collection Early Estimates
| Movie | Day | Daily Collection (Est.) | Total India Net (Approx.) | Status / Key Update |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Border 2 | Day 21 | 1.06 Cr | ₹316.08 – 317.06 Cr | Blockbuster – crossed ₹300 Cr club |
| Mardaani 3 | Day 14 | ~₹0.90 Cr | ~₹40.80 Cr | Average / Below Average – modest hold |
Border 2 Day 21 vs Mardaani 3 Day 14 Collection shows a huge gap. Border 2 (Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh) had a record-breaking start and crossed ₹300 crore India net last weekend.
Hindi occupancy averaged 5.68% on Day 21, with afternoon and evening shows in mass circuits (NCR, Punjab) still pulling crowds. Worldwide gross is around ₹464 Cr, making it 2026’s highest-grossing Hindi film so far.
Mardaani 3 (Rani Mukerji) opened decently but has seen sharp weekday drops. It’s now past ₹40 crore India net and has crossed the lifetime total of the first Mardaani, but it trails far behind Mardaani 2 (₹47.35 Cr).
Hindi occupancy hovered around 8.27% recently — respectable for urban multiplexes, but mass audiences are clearly with Border 2.
With O Romeo arriving this Friday, both films will face fresh competition soon. But right now, Border 2 remains the undisputed leader.
