Dhurandhar vs Border 2 At Box Office

Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which released in theatres on December 5, continues to dominate the box office even today. Its strong run also impacted Sunny Deol’s Border 2, which hit screens on January 23. The film has reportedly earned a net profit of Rs 838.32 crore.

Following the successful run of the first film, the makers have also announced a sequel titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film is slated for an Eid release on March 19 and will clash with the Kannada film Toxic and the Malayalam film Aadu 3.

Border 2, on the other hand, has entered the Rs 300 crore club and has emerged as the biggest hit of 2026. The makers have also revealed that they are mulling a third instalment, though no poster, title, or other details have been shared yet.

Sunny Deol will next be seen in Lahore 1947 with Aamir Khan and director Rajkumar Santoshi. The period drama also stars Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi and is expected to release in theatres on Independence Day, August 15. However, reports suggest the film’s title may be changed.
