Market dynamics
Decline in numbers due to new film releases
The decline in box office numbers for Border 2 can be attributed to the release of new films like O'Romeo. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film features Deol and Dhawan as Indian Army officials, while Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty play roles as Indian Air Force and Indian Navy officials, respectively. It was released on January 23.
