Sunny Deol's Border 2 has earned Rs 32.1 crore at the domestic box office on its opening day, surpassing Chhaava and Dhurandhar. The film received positive reviews and recorded 32.1% occupancy, with maximum footfalls during night shows.

Border 2's opening day collection is a significant achievement, considering it has become the biggest opener in Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh's careers. The film's success can be attributed to its epic war drama and strong word of mouth.
