Sunny Deol's highly anticipated war drama, 'Border 2,' is generating significant buzz as it records impressive pre-sales in overseas markets, even before its wide release in India. The film, which is a sequel to the iconic 1997 blockbuster 'Border,' stars Sunny Deol alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, and is directed by Anurag Singh. The movie is officially set to hit theaters on January 23, 2026, strategically coinciding with India's Republic Day long weekend. Overseas advance bookings for 'Border 2' began on Sunday, January 18, 2026, across key territories including the United States, Australia, Germany, and select cinemas in Canada. Reports indicate particularly robust traction in Australia, where the film's opening day sales are nearly double those of recent major releases like 'War 2' and 'Dhurandhar.' Similar strong responses have been observed in the US and Germany, largely attributed to the Indian diaspora and fans of the original franchise. Following the overseas momentum, advance bookings in India officially opened after midnight on Monday, January 19, 2026, in a phased manner. Initial trends from the domestic market are also promising, with major ticketing platforms like BookMyShow reporting sales of over 2,000 tickets per hour. Trade analysts are forecasting a substantial opening for 'Border 2,' with early predictions suggesting a first-day collection potentially around ₹40 crore. The film's strong early performance, coupled with a positive reception to its teaser and trailer, positions it for a significant box office opening both domestically and internationally.
