Mumbai: ‘Border 2’, sequel to the blockbuster war-drama ‘Border’, received overwhelming response after its release on January 23.
With reports suggesting that the film might break ‘Dhurandhar’s box-office records, producer Bhushan Kumar added to the fans’ excitement by confirming the third instalment of the film.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the producer said, “We are doing a joint venture (a different film) with his company and my company. He’ll be directing, and it will be something new. Border 3 will happen in due course.”
Confirming Sunny Deol’s ‘Border 3’, he said, “Obviously, it is such a big franchise. Anurag has worked so hard to rebuild it. If you bring something back after almost 30 years and it is getting so much love, we will definitely take it forward.”
Helmed by Anurag Singh, ‘Border 2’ stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty.
The Hindustan Times review read, “The emotional core is where Border 2 scores its biggest win. The camaraderie between the younger actors feels easy and natural. It doesn’t feel written for effect. Sunny Deol, especially, is a pleasant surprise in quieter moments. You expect the rage and thunder, but watching him joke, smile, and even tease his men gives the character warmth. When the big speeches finally come, they don’t feel hollow, they feel earned. That said, the film does test your patience at times. It’s long, and while it mostly keeps you invested, there are stretches where you feel the runtime. Some romantic bits linger longer than needed, and a few war sequences could’ve been sharper. The VFX is also uneven. While many action moments work well, certain naval shots don’t look as convincing as the emotion demands. Thankfully, the film isn’t relying only on spectacle; its strength lies in feeling.”
