The entertainment news portal Koimoi has published an article predicting a historic opening for the upcoming Bollywood film 'Border 2', stating it is poised to deliver Diljit Dosanjh's biggest opening day collection in India. The article, published on January 15, 2026, claims that 'Border 2' is 'all set to dethrone' Dosanjh's previous record held by the 2019 film 'Good Newwz', which earned ₹17.56 crore net on its opening day. Koimoi projects that the patriotic war film could achieve a net collection of over ₹25 crore on its first day. 'Border 2' is an eagerly anticipated sequel to the 1997 blockbuster 'Border'. The film, directed by Anurag Singh, is scheduled for a theatrical release on January 23, 2026, strategically coinciding with the Republic Day weekend. The ensemble cast features Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in pivotal roles. Diljit Dosanjh portrays a character inspired by Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC. The predictions from Koimoi are based on the significant pre-release buzz, the nostalgia associated with the original 'Border', and the star power of the lead cast. The film's trailer and a reprised version of the popular song 'Sandese Aate Hain' (titled 'Ghar Kab Aaoge') have further intensified audience excitement. If 'Border 2' achieves the predicted opening, it could also rank as one of the top Republic Day openers, potentially surpassing films like Hrithik Roshan's 'Fighter' (₹24.6 crore) to secure the second spot, after Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' (₹55 crore). While these are projections, the widespread confirmation of the film's cast, release date, and strong promotional activities lend credibility to the high expectations for its box office performance.
