Performances
– Sunny Deol is exactly how his fans want to see him, roaring, commanding and emotionally charged. His clap-worthy dialogues and screen presence remind you why Border turned him into a symbol of cinematic patriotism.
– Varun Dhawan delivers a sincere and convincing performance. He nails the body language and emotional depth required of a Major, effectively answering the pre-release scepticism surrounding his casting.
– Diljit Dosanjh is a natural screen presence. His warmth, charm and livewire energy bring soul to the film and make his character deeply endearing.
– Ahan Shetty shows sincerity and restraint, and there are moments where you can clearly see shades of Suniel Shetty in his performance.
– Mona Singh, as Sunny Deol’s wife, lends quiet strength and emotional stability to the narrative and delivers a solid performance.
Final Verdict
Border 2 is driven by memory and heart. At a time when war films are plentiful, this one manages to stand out by leaning into nostalgia and human connection rather than just scale. The climax scene, which serves as a heartfelt ode to the 1997 Border, is bound to leave audiences misty-eyed.
A stirring, emotional watch and a fitting Republic Day treat for the audience.
