Box Office Early Estimates: Border 2 Leads as Mardaani 3 Holds Well and Vadh 2 Opens with Promise

The Indian box office continues to see selective audience support, with Border 2, Mardaani 3 and Vadh 2 showing contrasting yet encouraging trends based on scale, release strategy and word of mouth.

Border 2, which enters its third week today, remains the only major film consistently pulling decent audiences across the country ahead of the February 13 release of O Romeo. As per early estimates, the film has collected around 2.8 to 3 crore net on Day 15, a decent hold for a third friday Importantly, this Friday is among the dullest Fridays in the last three weeks in terms of releases, yet Border 2 continues to register steady collections, clearly reflecting strong audience acceptance, repeat value and resilience at the box office specially in few cities. With sustained numbers and the upcoming third Saturday and Sunday in play, Border 2 is now steadily heading towards a lifetime total close to around 350 crore, a remarkable achievement in the current theatrical scenario.

Mardaani 3, which enters its second week today, continues to show a respectable and stable trend. The film has collected approximately 1.5 to 1.7 crore net today, which is a healthy figure considering its limited screen count and focused showcasing strategy. As a female-centric film backed by strong content, Mardaani 3 is benefiting from positive word of mouth and audience goodwill. The film is holding well at urban centres and multiplexes, indicating steady footfalls rather than front-loaded business.

Vadh 2, releasing today with a very limited release strategy, has opened on a promising note. Early estimates suggest a collection of around 60 lakh net on Day 1, which is actually a very good start considering the film’s scale, star cast, and niche positioning. Notably, the first part of Vadh had collected around the same figure over an entire week, making this opening even more encouraging. Strong appreciation from critics and audiences alike has given the film a positive word-of-mouth push, and the trend suggests that Vadh 2 could see gradual growth with each passing day.

Apart from these releases, Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai and Paaro Pinki Ki Kahani film have also hit theatres today, but their box office impact remains negligible.

Border 2 Day 15 Box Office Estimate (India Nett): ₹2.8 to 3.0 Crore 

Mardaani 3 Day 8 Box Office Estimates (India Nett): ₹1.5 to 1.8 Crore 

Vadh 2 Day 8 Box Office Estimates (India Nett): ₹60 Lakh.
