Border 2 and Mardaani 3 are riding the weekend wave, but they’re in very different places. Sunny Deol’s war epic is wrapping its third weekend as a major blockbuster, while Rani Mukerji’s gritty thriller is just starting its second weekend and trying to keep up.
Early estimates for today show both films getting a nice lift, though Border 2 continues to lead the overall market.
Border 2 Day 16 vs Mardaani 3 Day 9 Collection – Today’s Snapshot
| Movie | Day | Date | India Net (Estimated) | Total India Net (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Border 2 | Day 16 | Feb 7, 2026 | ₹2.22 Cr | ₹298.78 Cr |
| Mardaani 3 | Day 9 | Feb 7, 2026 | ₹2.15 Cr | ₹30.5 – ₹31.0 Cr |
Border 2 Day 16 vs Mardaani 3 Day 9 Collection tells a clear story of momentum vs marathon. Border 2 had a massive first week and Republic Day boost, but it’s now slowing after two big weeks. Today’s numbers keep it very close to the ₹300 crore India net milestone — likely crossing it tonight or tomorrow morning. It’s already beaten War and Uri to become one of the top war films ever.

Mardaani 3 saw a solid jump of around 20–25% from Friday, thanks to the weekend crowd. It’s now past ₹30 crore total, but still trails far behind Border 2’s massive run. With a ₹60 Cr budget, it needs more strong days to recover fully. Early trends show both films with similar morning occupancy, but Mardaani 3 might edge out daily numbers for the first time as Border 2 enters later weeks.
Weekend magic is helping both, but the gap in totals is huge.
