The portal further reported that Border 2 is heading to take the opening in the range of Rs 30 crore and above. With positive word of mouth, the film is expected to perform more than expected. 

What are the factors favouring Border 2

The key reason for Border 2's bombastic opening is the film's clean and open release window. There's practically no competition at the box office. Dhurandhar is at the end of its glorious run. The new releases (Rahu Ketu, One Two Cha Cha Chaa) are allowing it to dominate screens and shows nationwide, especially in the tier-2, tier-3 cities, where patriotic drama does wonders. 

Screen count of Border 2 

As per the portal, the Sunny Deol-starrer is set to hit release on over 5,000 screens across India. With round-the-clock showcasing, ensuring a wide reach in metros, Tier-2 cities, and single screens and mass belts. 

Censor certificate of Border 2 

Another plus point for Border 2 is the censor certification. While Dhurandhar was released with an A-rating, being limited to a family audience, Border 2 has received a U/A (13+) certificate with zero cuts. This makes Border 2 far more accessible to families and younger viewers, particularly during daytime shows and the extended weekend.
