Border 2 has successfully carried forward the legacy of Border. As long as you’re sitting in the theatre, you’ll keep getting goosebumps. The best thing about this film is its storytelling.

अभी अभी #Border2 देखकर निकला हूँ। मैं इस फ़िल्म को अपने लगभग 3 घंटे देने के बाद भी एक्साइटेड हूँ।
यह फ़िल्म Pure Cinema है। Border की लिगेसी को Border 2 आगे लेकर गई है।
आप जब तक थिएटर में रहोगे तब तक आप Goosebumps पाते रहोगे, इस फ़िल्म की सबसे अच्छी बात स्टोरी टेलिंग है,

#Border2 – 4/5
Proper mass nostalgia, Goosebumps!!!
Sunny Deol delivers a superb performance. The story, action sequences & patriotism — everything hits hard!
The weak points were the average performances by Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty.
Must-watch
Bharat Mata Ki Jai! 🏆🔥

Another user was ‘in awe’ after watching #Border2 first day, first show. “It’s beautiful, heartfelt & roaring with patriotism. Sunny Deol is timeless; he doesn’t act, he lives the soldier’s pain & duty. The nostalgia of recreated classics in theatre is unmatched. Leaves you grateful for our armed forces. This is cinema that moves, unites & inspires. One of 2026’s best!”
