A look at Mardaani 3 and Border 2s earnings

Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 opened on a comparatively modest note but showed some growth over its opening weekend. The film collected Rs 4 crore on its first Friday, followed by a strong 56.25 percent jump on Saturday with Rs 6.25 crore and a further rise to Rs 7.25 crore on Sunday.

The weekday trend proved challenging, as Mardaani 3 dropped to Rs 2.25 crore on Monday before seeing a slight improvement to Rs 2.6 crore on Tuesday. On its first Wednesday, the film added Rs 2 crore in its collection, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Mardaani 3 now stands at a total collection of Rs 24.25 crore.

Border 2, starring Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, opened to a solid response at the box office and showed strong momentum over its first weekend. The film began its run with Rs 30 crore on its first Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 36.5 crore on Saturday and a further rise to Rs 54.5 crore on Sunday.

The upward trend continued briefly on Monday with a collection of Rs 59 crore, but the film saw a sharp correction on Tuesday, when collections dropped to Rs 20 crore. Despite the fall, the first week closed on a steady note, with Border 2 collecting Rs 224.25 crore by the end of Day 7.

After entering its second week, Border 2 faced the usual weekday slowdown. The film earned Rs 10.75 crore on its second Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 17.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 22.5 crore on Sunday. However, collections dipped sharply again on the second Monday, with the film earning Rs 5.75 crore, a figure that remained unchanged on Tuesday. By Day 13, Border 2 added Rs 4 crore, taking its total India net collection to Rs 290.75 crore.
