Border 2 (2026)

Border 2 (2026) — Review

War filmein yaqeen par chalti hain — aur Border 2 mein woh yaqeen bharpoor hai. Anurag Singh ki 1971 ki Bharat-Pakistan jang par mabni yeh epic film genre ko dobara invent karne ki koshish nahi karti — woh usay izzat dene ki koshish karti hai, aur is mein kaafi had tak kaamyab bhi hai. Republic Day release ke tor par, aur 1997 ke mehboob original ki legacy ka bojh uthaye hue, is film ko apna kaam bakhubi samajh aaya tha: scale, sincerity, aur aise soldiers jin ki aap ko waqai parwah ho.

Sunny Deol ne film ko usi righteous intensity ke saath sambhala hai jo unke career ki pehchaan rahi hai, aur multi-battalion structure Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh aur Ahan Shetty ko apni chhaap chhorne ka poora mauqa deta hai. Jang ke scenes waqai epic scale par filmaye gaye hain, aur Singh — jo is terrain ko achhi tarah jaante hain — inhein aisi clarity ke saath stage karte hain ke spectacle ke andar insaani qeemat bhi saaf nazar aati hai.

Film ki apne baare mein imaandaari hi uski sab se bari taaqat hai. Woh kabhi audience ko aankh nahi maarti, kabhi kisi sincere moment ko ironic joke se kharab nahi karti. Jin dekhne walon ko yeh andaaz purana lage, un ke liye darmiyani hissa thoda aazmaish ho sakta hai. Baqi sab ke liye yahi to asli baat hai.

Commercially film ne apna kaam kiya aur us se bhi zyada. Republic Day weekend par ₹27.5 crore ki opening ne mood set kar diya, aur trade estimates ke mutabiq worldwide total taqreeban ₹464.5 crore hai — ₹275 crore ke reported budget ke muqable mein ek saaf-suthri Hit, jis ne is baray gamble ko poori tarah justify kar diya.

Rating: 4/5
Verdict: Ek rousing, old-school war epic — woh rare legacy sequel jo apne wujood ko haqdaar thehrata hai.
