Rani Mukerji and Sunny Deol
The Indian box office is currently witnessing a clash between two major sequels. On one side, Sunny Deol’s patriotic powerhouse ‘Border 2’ continues its historic run, while on the other, Rani Mukerji’s gritty thriller ‘Mardaani 3’ is fighting to stay steady. However, as expected with a Working Monday (February 9), both films saw a significant dip in their collections.
Sunny Deol has once again proven his dominance at the box office. Following the massive success of ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Border 2’ has become his second film to cross the prestigious ₹300 crore mark in the domestic market.
While ‘Mardaani 3’ has received critical acclaim for Rani Mukerji’s powerhouse performance, it has faced stiff competition from the ‘Border 2’ wave. The film is currently finding its audience primarily in urban centers and multiplexes.
| Movie Name | Day | Monday Collection (Est.) | Total India Net Collection |
| Border 2 | Day 18 | ₹1.03 Crore | ₹310.78 Crore |
| Mardaani 3 | Day 11 | ₹0.66 Crore | ₹36.56 Crore |
The numbers clearly show that ‘Border 2’ remains the preferred choice for the masses, outearning ‘Mardaani 3’ even in its third week. While ‘Border 2’ is eyeing a lifetime finish near the ₹325 crore mark, ‘Mardaani 3’ will look to capitalize on the upcoming Valentine’s Day weekend to boost its final tally.
With new releases scheduled for the coming Friday, the window for both films to add significant numbers is slowly closing.
