The box office battle is clear: Sunny Deol’s Border 2 is still the king in its third weekend, while Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3 is fighting hard in its second weekend. Both saw weekend growth today, but Border 2 continues to lead by a wide margin.
Border 2 Day 17 vs Mardaani 3 Day 10 Collection
| Movie | Day | Date (2026) | Daily Collection (Est.) | Total India Net (Approx.) | Status / Milestone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Border 2 | Day 17 | Feb 8 (Sun) | ₹6.22 Cr | ₹308.72 Cr | Blockbuster – crossed ₹300 Cr club |
| Mardaani 3 | Day 10 | Feb 8 (Sun) | ₹3.72 Cr | ₹35.37 Cr | Steady / Semi-Hit – crossed ₹30 Cr |
Border 2 Day 17 vs Mardaani 3 Day 10 Collection shows the huge gap. Border 2 had a strong Sunday jump and officially entered the ₹300 crore India club on Day 16, now surpassing Padmaavat (₹303 Cr) and chasing War (₹318 Cr) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (₹320 Cr). Hindi occupancy hovered around 23% today, with mass circuits still loving the patriotic vibe.

Mardaani 3 saw solid growth (around 80–90% up from Friday on Saturday), crossing ₹30 crore total, but it’s finding it tough to keep pace with Border 2’s massive wave. Lifetime projections sit around ₹35–40 crore, close to the first Mardaani but trailing Mardaani 2 (₹47.35 Cr).
Weekend crowds helped both, but Border 2 remains the clear leader in 2026 so far.
