Border 2 Box Office:Misses Top 10 Highest First Week Collections by less than 5 Crores; See Full Top 15 List!
The Indian box office has witnessed a seismic shift in 2026, with sequels and mass entertainers rewriting historical records. While the First Day collection often grabs headlines, the First Week (7 Days) Collection is the ultimate litmus test for a film's long-term sustainability.
In the recently updated list of the all-time highest opening week collections for Hindi/Bollywood movies, several 2025 and 2026 releases have made their way into the Top 15. The most recent entry, Border 2, has secured the 11th position, narrowly missing out on a spot in the Top 10.
To understand where Border 2 stands, one must look at the giants it is competing with. Pushpa 2: The Rule remains at the undisputed #1 spot with a staggering 425.6 Cr, a figure that currently seems untouchable for any upcoming release.

Securing the #11 spot on the all-time list is a monumental feat for Border 2. Collecting ₹224.25 Cr in its first week, it has narrowly missed out on the Top 10 by less than ₹5 Cr (currently held by Hrithik Roshan's War).
What makes Border 2's performance unique is its Mass Momentum. While films like Dhurandhar and Chhaava had massive lifetime totals, Border 2 has shown a faster sprinting speed in its first 7 days. It has already pushed Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai (206 Cr) and Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju (202 Cr) down the ladder, proving that patriotism-driven sequels are the current flavor of the Indian audience.

The Unbeatable Trio: Pushpa 2, Pathaan, and Jawan are the only three films to have breached the ₹340 Cr mark in their opening week.
Worldwide Efficiency: Despite being #13 in its first week, Dhurandhar holds the record for one of the highest Worldwide Gross-to-Net ratios in the list, finishing at a massive ₹1301.5 Cr.
The South Dominance: Out of the Top 15 Hindi first-week openers, four films (Pushpa 2, Jawan, KGF 2, Baahubali 2) have strong South Indian roots, showcasing the power of Pan-India cinema.
Sequel Power: Six out of the Top 15 films are sequels or part of established franchises (Pushpa 2, Jawan, Stree 2, Gadar 2, KGF 2, Border 2), indicating that franchise value is the safest bet for a massive start.

While its first-week journey ends at #11, its steady trending suggests it could challenge the lifetime collections of Gadar 2 and Baahubali 2. The theatrical landscape in 2026 continues to be dominated by high-octane sequels, and Border 2 is currently the captain of that ship.
