February 16, 2026 (Monday) showed two very different box-office stories. Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s fresh romantic thriller O Romeo faced its first weekday drop after a strong Valentine’s weekend, while Sunny Deol’s Border 2 quietly kept going strong in its fourth week.
The O Romeo Day 4 vs Border 2 Day 25 collection comparison highlights how a new release battles post-weekend reality while a veteran holds on with loyal crowds.
Monday is always quieter after big weekends, and both films felt it—yet each showed its own strength.
O Romeo Day 4 vs Border 2 Day 25 collection (India Net – Estimated, Feb 16)
| Film | Day / Date | Daily Collection (₹ Cr) | Total India Net (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| O Romeo | Day 4 (Mon) | 5.50 | 35.65 |
| Border 2 | Day 25 (Mon) | 0.52 | 322.10 |
O Romeo: First Monday Test
After opening at ₹8.50 Cr, peaking on Saturday with ₹12.65 Cr, and holding Sunday at ₹9 Cr, O Romeo saw a typical post-weekend dip. Morning occupancy was low (~7-10%), but evening shows in cities like Mumbai and Delhi picked up slightly. Still a good start for the Vishal Bhardwaj film.
Border 2: Marathon Power
Now deep into week four, Border 2 added ₹0.52 Cr on Monday—small but steady. It’s already crossed ₹320 Cr in India and sits at ~₹478 Cr worldwide. The film remains 2026’s highest-grossing title so far, proving its family appeal is lasting.
Both films have clear roads ahead with no big clashes coming soon. Which one are you rooting for? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’m reading every one!
