Two very different blockbusters have ruled early 2026 — one with a massive opening burst, the other with incredible staying power. While Border 2 grabbed headlines with its explosive start, Dhurandhar quietly kept earning week after week.
As of February 13, 2026, let’s compare Dhurandhar Day 71 vs Border 2 Day 22 Collection and see why the long game made all the difference.
Dhurandhar Day 71 vs Border 2 Day 22 Collection (India Net – Early Estimates)
| Movie | Day | Daily Collection (Est.) | Total India Net (Approx.) | Worldwide Gross (Approx.) | Verdict / Key Update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dhurandhar | Day 71 | ~₹0.10 Cr | ₹894.48 Cr | ₹1,354.48 Cr | All-Time Blockbuster – highest Hindi net ever |
| Border 2 | Day 22 | ~₹0.55 Cr | ₹318.30 Cr | ₹434.10 Cr | Super Hit – crossed ₹300 Cr club |
Dhurandhar Day 71 vs Border 2 Day 22 Collection tells a classic story of sprint vs marathon. Border 2 (Sunny Deol starrer) had the bigger early lead — beating Dhurandhar in opening weekend (₹121 Cr vs ₹103 Cr) and Week 1 (₹244 Cr vs ₹218 Cr). It crossed ₹300 crore India net fast and still earns more daily right now. But its third-week drop has been sharper.
Dhurandhar (Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar) started slower but showed unbelievable stamina. Even on Day 71 — after Netflix launch — it still adds small amounts in limited theaters. That long tail pushed it past ₹800 Cr India net and made it the highest-grossing single-language Hindi film ever.
Trade analysts now say Border 2 will likely finish around ₹350 Cr India net, while Dhurandhar’s record total looks safe.
