Two very different blockbusters have defined early 2026 at the box office. One exploded out of the gates with holiday power but started slowing down. The other took time to build but kept going strong for months.
As of Thursday, February 12, 2026, let’s compare Dhurandhar Day 70 vs Border 2 Day 21 Collection and see why both are talked about so much.
Dhurandhar Day 70 vs Border 2 Day 21 Collection (India Net – Early Estimates)
| Movie | Day | Daily Collection (Est.) | Total India Net (Approx.) | Worldwide Gross (Approx.) | Verdict / Key Update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dhurandhar | Day 70 | ₹0.05 – 0.08 Cr | ~₹838 Cr | ₹1,304.7 Cr | All-Time Blockbuster – highest Hindi net ever |
| Border 2 | Day 21 | ₹1.06 Cr | ₹317.06 Cr | ₹464.22 Cr | Super Hit – crossed ₹300 Cr club |
Dhurandhar Day 70 vs Border 2 Day 21 Collection shows two clear paths. Dhurandhar (Ranveer Singh starrer) opened solid but truly shined with incredible staying power.
By Day 70, collections are tiny (under ₹10 lakh daily), yet the lifetime total remains unbeatable — the highest-grossing Hindi film in India ever. It outlasted almost everything and kept adding for over two months.
Border 2 (Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan) had the bigger early burst. It beat Dhurandhar in opening weekend (₹121 Cr vs ₹103 Cr) and Week 1 (₹244 Cr vs ₹218 Cr), crossing ₹300 crore India net quickly. Day 21 numbers show a normal third-week drop, but it still leads daily earnings right now.
Both are proud wins for 2026 — one a marathon champion, the other a powerful sprinter.
