Anurag Singh’s direction Border 2 finally drops in the theaters on Friday the 23rd, and early reactions of viewers are quite different. The audience praises the patriotic intent of the film, but some people expressed that it is all about the storytelling; it’s entertaining but lacks story, visuals, and emotions.

A trade analyst and a film critic, Taran Adarsh, shares on his X that, according to his point of view, Border 2 is a war drama on a large scale that maintains the emotions while staying true to its originality.

His reaction: “Border 2 makes your heart swell with pride… The film salutes the nation as well as the armed forces… STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.”

The review also highlighted the dialogues and music. Taran noted, “Dialogues are a major high point—sharp, hard-hitting, and patriotic without being jingoistic.”

Also reflect that many punchlines were designed for big-screen effect, which wins a theater’s big round of applause.

There is a performance, which most likely is Sunny Deol. She said, “This is vintage Sunny Deol—commanding, righteous, and unforgettable.”

On the other hand, one user commented, “Power and patriotism are clearly the intent, but the execution feels uneven. The scale is grand, and a few war sequences work, yet the emotions often feel loud and forced rather than organic. Dialogues try hard to punch, but not all land, and the screenplay drags in places. Respectable effort and sincere performances, but it never reaches the impact of the original. Average watch, nostalgia does most of the heavy lifting.”

Many people praise the patriotism intended in the film, but some other viewers did not like the film’s story and commented, “Absolutely boring movie, same repeated story on patriotism, nothing new to watch. Sunny Deol looks aged and dull, Diljit Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Ahan Shetty are okayish, and Varun Dhawan is the biggest headache of this film. Songs are dull.”
