Bhushan Kumar is redefining the Indian box office: His midas touch in music & film continues
The Indian film industry has always been a landscape of shifting sands, but in 2026, the arrival of Border 2 has felt like a tectonic shift. Within its first 5 days, the war epic has not only crossed the Rs. 217 crores net mark domestically and has surged past Rs. 289 crores gross worldwide, making it the first Hindi film of the year to march toward this historic status. While the nostalgia of a classic franchise and a powerhouse cast led by Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty are the immediate catalysts, but the fact that Nidhi Dutta, daughter of renowned film maker JP Dutta chose T-Series Chairman Bhushan Kumar as their partners is undoubtedly of equal significance.
