Is there a discrepancy in how "gross" is calculated across these sources, or are these independent estimations?
Daily Collection Trends
The daily collection figures, particularly for the later stages of the film's run, also present variations.
Day 22 (Fourth Friday):
Article 2 reports earnings of Rs 0.8 crore.
Article 6 states Friday collections (presumably Day 19 or Day 26, given the context of Week 3) were Rs 3.12 crore.
Day 23 (Fourth Saturday):
Article 1 reports earnings of Rs 1.90 crore, placing it second behind "O Romeo."
Article 2 indicates that the total collection will increase as the day progresses, but does not provide a specific Day 23 figure.
Could the variance in daily figures reflect different reporting times within the day, or are these fundamentally different estimations?

Rajasthan: Described as "closer to BLOCKBUSTER."
Delhi-UP and East Punjab: Achieved "SUPER HIT business." (Article 3)
Overall Trend: While initially showing potential for a "SUPER HIT" or "BLOCKBUSTER" status, the film experienced "ordinary trends on the weekdays," which limited its overall box office run. (Article 3)

"The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources." (Article 2)
"According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Sunny Deol-starrer Border 2 has earned around Rs 1.2 crore as of 9 pm on Monday." (Article 4 - referring to Day 18)
"According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Border 2 collected Rs 3.12 crore on Friday, Rs 6.01 crore on Saturday and Rs 8.45 crore on Sunday." (Article 6 - likely referring to the third weekend).

Conclusion and Implications
"Border 2" has achieved significant earnings, particularly in its initial weeks and in northern Indian territories. However, the inconsistency in reported figures across various sources, especially for daily and cumulative worldwide gross, requires careful consideration.

The film has definitively crossed the Rs 300 crore domestic mark according to multiple sources (Article 2, Article 4).
Overseas collection reports also show variation, ranging from Rs 45 crore to Rs 56.15 crore.
The film's performance on its 23rd day, a Saturday, showed an increase in earnings, though the exact figure and its contribution to the overall total are subject to conflicting data.
While the film has been declared a "HIT" (Article 3), its potential for reaching "SUPER HIT" or "BLOCKBUSTER" status appears to have been tempered by weekday performance trends.
Further clarity on the methodologies used for data collection by different trade trackers would be beneficial in resolving the existing discrepancies and providing a more precise assessment of "Border 2"'s final box office outcome.
