The film has continued to pose stiff competition to fresh theatrical releases every week. Attention now shifts to whether Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan’s upcoming ‘Border 2’, releasing on January 23, can challenge its strong box office run.Also See: Hindi Movies | Telugu Movies | Tamil Latest Movies Go to Source
