Sunny Deol’s Border 2 Fever Is Real:
Several videos of fans flocking to the theatres in huge numbers have gone viral on social media. In one clip from Najibabad, Uttar Pradesh, a group of youngsters were seen going to the theatre in their area in cars and tractors, all of them had a tricolour hoisted. A group of three men on a tractor was also seen carrying a poster of Border 2. Towards the end of the clip, they were seen parking their vehicles at a designated place and then entering the cinema hall to watch Anurag Singh-directed movie on the big screen. Another video making rounds on Instagram highlighted the strong emotional connection the film has with the audience. In the clip, a few women holding the Indian national flag were seen cheering as they rode in a jeep. The next scene showed a few people rallying behind two men holding a poster of Border 2 and waving the Indian flag. Later in the clip, another person was heard chanting “Bharat mata ki jai” inside a theatre.

Directed and co-written by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is a standalone sequel to Border, which was directed by J.P. Dutta and remains one of the most iconic war films in Hindi cinema. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta and Nidhi Dutta, the film is backed by T-Series Films and J.P. Films.
Set again against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Border 2 expands the scale of the original film. Unlike its predecessor, which focused primarily on the Indian Army, the latest film showed a multi-front war narrative, combining operations of the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy. At the centre of it all is Sunny Deol’s Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler, a commanding officer, mentor and emotional anchor to a group of younger soldiers played by Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty. The film also features Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh and Medha Rana in pivotal roles.
