25 February Box Office Report: The Mid-Week Slump Hits Hard! Border 2 Refuses to Quit While Newcomers Struggle
Mumbai, 26 February 2026: The box office results for yesterday are in, and the middle of the week is proving to be a very tough time for movies in theaters.
On Wednesday, 25 February 2026, we saw a general decline in ticket sales across all major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. The “working day” blues have hit the collections hard. Even the big-budget movies are finding it difficult to keep the audience excited. According to our latest source at BoxOfficeWala, Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo is still at the top of the daily chart, but its daily earnings have dropped significantly. Meanwhile, smaller films are fighting for survival as they approach the end of their first week.
Mid-Week Slump: A Reality Check for Producers
Wednesdays are usually slow for the film business in India.
Most people wait for the weekend to go to the cinema. Yesterday was no different. The total footfall in theaters was lower than on Monday and Tuesday. This is a big worry for movies with high budgets because they need consistent daily earnings to stay safe.
Let’s look at the detailed breakdown of the Our Daily Chart for 25th Feb 2026.
O Romeo: The 100 Crore Dream Looks Far Away
O RomeoDay 12
Day 13 Performance
O Romeo has completed nearly two weeks in theaters. On its Day 13, the film collected ₹1.17 Cr. This is a drop compared to Tuesday, where it had earned ₹1.78 Cr. While it is still the number one movie on the daily chart, the collection is quite low for a film of this scale.
Financial Status and Budget
The movie was made with a huge budget of ₹150 Cr.
- India Net Collection: The total India Net has reached ₹61.08 Cr.
- Worldwide (WW) Collection: Globally, the film is nearing a milestone, standing at ₹96.19 Cr.
What it Means for the Movie
It is now clear that O Romeo is an “underperformer.” Even though it might cross the 100 Crore mark worldwide in a day or two, the Indian collections are not enough to recover its 150 Crore budget. For Shahid Kapoor and the producers, the only hope now is to sell the digital and satellite rights for a very high price to avoid a big loss.
Assi vs. Do Deewane Seher Mein: The Battle for Second Place
Day 6 Numbers
Last Friday’s releases, Assi and Do Deewane Seher Mein, are both struggling as they finish their first week.
- Assi (Day 06): Collected ₹0.52 Cr.
- Do Deewane Seher Mein (Day 06): Collected ₹0.45 Cr.
Total Earnings Comparison
Assi, starring Taapsee Pannu, was made on a budget of ₹25 Cr and has a total India Net of ₹6.28 Cr. Its worldwide total is ₹7.44 Cr. Do Deewane Seher Mein, with a budget of ₹35 Cr, has an India Net of ₹6.56 Cr and a worldwide total of ₹7.75 Cr.
Verdict for Both Films
Both movies are heading towards a “Flop” verdict. They haven’t even recovered 25% of their budgets in India after six days. Unless they show a miracle jump next weekend, they will likely be removed from most theaters by Friday.
With Love: The Small Film That Survived
Day 20 Hold
With LoveDay 19
On the other hand, With Love continues to be the most successful film in terms of profit. Even on its Day 20, it earned ₹0.38 Cr. This is almost equal to what the new releases are making!
Huge Return on Investment
The budget for this film was only ₹10 Cr.
- India Net Collection: Total is now ₹27.74 Cr.
- Worldwide Collection: The global total stands at ₹35.97 Cr.
Why it is a Super Hit
With Love has earned nearly three times its budget. This is a great result for the producers. It shows that the audience preferred this simple love story over the bigger, more expensive films released recently.
Bambukat 2 and Hey Bhagawan: Mixed Results
Day 6 Analysis
Two other smaller films, Bambukat 2 and Hey Bhagawan, are also in the race.
- Bambukat 2 (Day 06): Earned ₹0.37 Cr. Its worldwide collection is very good at ₹11.57 Cr because of the Punjabi audience abroad. Since its budget is only ₹8 Cr, it is a “Hit.”
- Hey Bhagawan (Day 06): Earned ₹0.33 Cr. With a budget of ₹15 Cr and a total India Net of ₹4.50 Cr, it is struggling to break even.
Border 2: The Blockbuster Finally Slows Down
Day 34 Report
Border 2Day 33
The biggest hit of 2026, Border 2, is finally reaching its end. On Day 34, it earned ₹0.27 Cr. It is amazing that a movie is still earning lakhs of rupees even after five weeks in theaters.
Massive Totals
The movie was made on a budget of ₹275 Cr (revised from earlier 150 Cr estimates in trade circles).
- India Net Collection: A massive ₹328.92 Cr.
- Worldwide Collection: The total is an incredible ₹445.37 Cr.
Status
Border 2 is a “Super Hit.” It brought the masses back to the cinema and dominated the box office for a full month. It will go down as one of the most successful movies of the decade.

Conclusion: Who is the Real Winner?
To sum up the 25th Feb 2026 Box Office Report, the week has been very unkind to new releases. O Romeo failed to capitalize on its star power. Assi and Do Deewane Seher Mein were rejected by the audience.
The only smiles are on the faces of the producers of With Love and Border 2. One film won through its small budget and heart, while the other won through its massive scale and patriotic spirit.
