'All time blockbuster,' declared another.
Some also remained unimpressed about the cast.
One of them commented, 'Everyone is okay but I don't think Varun is that good for this role… they could have gone for Sid (Sidharth Malhotra) or Vicky (Vicky Kaushal).' 'Star cast not impressive,' added yet another user.
Border 2 promises to be an 'epic tale of patriotism and passion, showcasing the unwavering spirit of our armed forces'. With its stellar cast and crew, the film is said to deliver a powerful cinematic experience.
Backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, and directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series, in association with J.P. Dutta's J.P. Films.
The sequel to the original 1997 film, Border 2 carries forward the legacy of celebrating the undying spirit of Indian soldiers, promising viewers an unsung tale of patriotism, bravery, and selfless sacrifices that men of the nation make to ensure the safety of every citizen.
Last month, Banshidhar Tiwari, CEO of the Uttarakhand Film Vikas Parishad, visited the sets of Border 2 in Dehradun's Halduwala location.
During the visit, Tiwari interacted with Sunny Deol and discussed the state's film policy, the diversity of locations, and the support being provided by the Uttarakhand government to the film industry.
Tiwari also mentioned the supportive atmosphere provided by the state, and added, "The positive and comfortable environment the film unit is experiencing here truly positions the state as a prime destination for film production."
Border 2 will be released in cinemas on January 23, 2026.

‘Apne chauke ke chakkar…': Pant's stump mic antics will leave you in splits, Gill says ‘Abhi confused hai Jaddu bhai!'
Day 2 of the ongoing first India vs England Test saw Shubman Gill and Co. build on their momentum from Day 1, in Leeds. Rishabh Pant got his seventh Test on in style, but then England fought back as India lost their last seven wickets for only 41 runs. Jasprit Bumrah removed Zak Crawley (4) with a stunning delivery, but then Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett stood their ground, adding 122 runs for the second wicket. The latter fell for 62 and Pope went on to get his ninth Test ton. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill's stump mic antics will leave you splits.(Instagram) Then, he had Joe Root for support for sometime, before Bumrah struck again for a third time. The last over on Day 2 also saw plenty of drama as Bumrah thought he removed Harry Brook as well, but he overstepped. England reached 209/3 at Stumps, in response to India's 471, and still trail by 262 runs, with seven wickets in the bag. The England innings also saw plenty of entertainment from the stump mic, with vice-captain Rishabh Pant and skipper Shubman Gill hogging the spotlight. In one such instance, a delivery went past Duckett's leg side, and Pant, who was donning the gloves, had to put in a full-stretched dive to prevent leg byes. Reacting to the delivery, an animated Pant quipped, 'Mei bhi khel raha hu bhai! Apne chauke ke chakkar mei, mera chauka mat de dena (Even I am playing brother! To avoid getting hit for six, don't end up sending me for a six!). In another instance, Ravindra Jadeja sent a good delivery, which the batter defended. Reacting to the delivery, Gill screamed, 'Abhi ye pura confused hai Jaddu bhai! Kaunsi seedhi hai, kaunsi udhar ayega uska! Abhi isko kuch pata nhi lag raha! (Now he is totally confused Jaddu bhai (Ravindra Jadeja)! (Which delivery will come straight, which will come there, he doesn't know anything)' Video of Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant's stump mic antics: The ongoing five-match Test series has seen a new generation of Indian cricketers take over the mantle of leadership, with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirements from the format recently. Jadeja, Bumrah, Pant and KL Rahul are the only remaining members from the previous leadership setup.
