At the worldwide box office, the film has performed well so far. The India gross collection is estimated to be around Rs 235.7 crore. Overseas markets have contributed close to Rs 35 crore.

The film is now close to crossing the Rs 200 crore mark in India net and is expected to add more numbers over the coming days.

Though the war drama faced a huge dip on day 5, it has managed to record a major milestone in the career of its star cast. Border 2 has officially becomethe highest-grosser of Varun Dhawan's filmography, leaving behind Dilwale (Rs 148.42 crore), Judwaa 2 (Rs 138.55 crore), and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (Rs 117.89 crore). However for Sunny Deol, the film lags behind Gadar 2, which went on to gross Rs 525.7 crore.

Border 2 vs Chhaava

Both the films opened at the theatres with Rs 30 crore, however, Sunny's Border 2 now seems to have overtaken many of Vicky Kaushal starrer's box office milestones. Despite a dip, Border has made Rs 196.5 crore in five days, while Chhaava registered a five day haul of Rs 165 crore. Border 2 was ahead in the opening weekend numbers as well with Rs 129.89 crore against Chhaava's Rs 121.43 crore.
