About Border 2

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is set during the 1971 India–Pakistan war but expands the canvas far beyond what the original attempted. Instead of focusing on one post, Border 2 brings together the Army, Air Force and Navy, showing how a combined operation unfolds. 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.

Border 2 Review

News18 Showsha gave the film 4 stars. Part of our 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,” the review also mentioned.
