The early February 2026 box office feels like a real tug-of-war. One film is still packing single screens and mass belts even in its third week. The other is trying hard to stay alive in week two.
Today (Tuesday, February 10), let’s see exactly how Border 2 Day 19 vs Mardaani 3 Day 12 Collection looks — and why one is flying high while the other is struggling.
Border 2 Day 19 vs Mardaani 3 Day 12 Collection (India Net – Early Estimates)
| Movie | Day | Daily Collection (Est.) | Total India Net (Approx.) | Worldwide Gross (Approx.) | Status / Key Update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Border 2 | Day 19 | ₹1.16 Cr | ₹312.91 Cr | ₹426.15 Cr | All-Time Blockbuster – crossed ₹300 Cr |
| Mardaani 3 | Day 12 | ₹1.00 – 1.20 Cr | ₹38.40 Cr | ₹53.00 Cr | Average / Below Average – modest hold |
Border 2 Day 19 vs Mardaani 3 Day 12 Collection tells a clear story. Border 2 (Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh) had a monster Republic Day run and crossed ₹300 crore India net last weekend.
Today’s Monday-Tuesday numbers show the usual weekday dip, but Hindi occupancy stayed decent at ~9.12%. North India (Delhi/UP, Punjab) remains its powerhouse region, pushing the film past Sultan and Padmaavat lifetime totals. It’s now eyeing War (₹318 Cr) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (₹320 Cr).

Mardaani 3 (Rani Mukerji) had a fair opening weekend but has seen sharp drops since. Day 12 estimates are around ₹1–1.20 Cr — respectable for a Monday, but far behind Border 2’s daily power.
It has crossed the lifetime of the first Mardaani (₹36 Cr) and is crawling toward ₹40–45 Cr. With a ₹60 Cr budget, it needs strong non-theatrical deals to feel safe.
Both films face fresh competition soon from O Romeo (Feb 13) and Valentine’s releases, but right now Border 2 is clearly dominating 2026.
