Border 2 is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language epic action war film co-written and directed by Anurag Singh. A standalone sequel to J. P. Dutta's 1997 film Border , it is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J. P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta under the banners of T-Series Films and J. P. Films.

Set against the backdrop of the India–Pakistan war of 1971, the film serves as a multi-front war drama, expanding the scope of its predecessor by featuring the combined operations of the Indian Armed Forces – Army, Air Force, and Navy. The film stars Sunny Deol in the leading role, alongside an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. ^[4] The film also features Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, and Medha Rana in pivotal roles. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8] [9]}

The project was officially announced on June 13, 2024, marking the 27th anniversary of the first film. Filming commenced in early 2025 across diverse military locations including Jhansi Cantonment, Babina Cantonment, National Defence Academy (NDA) in Khadakwasla, and undisclosed air and naval bases. To ensure technical authenticity, the production utilized real-world defense installations, including the INS Vikrant, and filmed gruelling combat sequences in the plains of Punjab, the rugged terrains of Uttarakhand and the deserts of Rajasthan. ^[10]

Border 2 was theatrically released on 23 January 2026, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend. It received positive reviews from critics.

Production

Development

Border 2 was officially announced by J. P. Dutta, Bhushan Kumar and Sunny Deol on 13 June 2024 on the 27th anniversary of the original film. Deol was retained from the original cast, although the makers did not reveal the other cast members. ^[16]

Casting

(L-R): Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty

(L-R): Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa and Anya Singh

Sunny Deol was offered the lead role following the success of Gadar 2 (2023). While J. P. Dutta proposed the sequel to Deol back in 2015, the project was put on hold due to several of Deol’s films underperforming at the box-office. ^[17] Deol was also cautious about the sequel, wanting to ensure the story provided a natural evolution for the beloved original characters. He felt the script needed to justify a comeback to avoid disappointing fans who expect the same level of impact seen in Gadar 2. Following the success of his recent films, Deol agreed to star in the project. ^[4] He plays the role of the Indian Army officer, Lieutenant Colonel Fateh Singh Kaler (loosely based on Major General Hardev Singh Kler). ^{[5] [11]}

Ayushmann Khurrana was rumoured to have been offered the role of Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya. However, media reports indicated that he was no longer part of the cast. There had been no official confirmation as to whether he opted out or was dropped by the producers, leaving his exit a subject of speculation. ^[18] Varun Dhawan was then cast to play that role. The makers announced his casting alongside Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. ^[19] Shortly thereafter, his role was cemented in the public eye as behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot emerged. ^[20] Diljit Dosanjh was signed to play the role of the Indian Air Force officer, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon. ^[21] However, rumors surfaced that he had opted out of the film due to external project controversies. ^[22] Despite the ambiguity that surrounded his status, it was later confirmed that Dosanjh was firmly back on board and was set to star as one of the film's lead characters. Ahan Shetty joined the cast as a new recruit, a move that was officially announced by lead actor Deol. ^[23] Ahan played the role of the Indian Navy officer, Lieutenant Commander Mahendra Singh Rawat (character based on Captain Mahendra Nath Mulla). ^[24]

Mona Singh was cast opposite Deol. She portrays the wife of Fateh Singh Kaler. ^[25] Sonam Bajwa was cast opposite Dosanjh. She portrays Manjit Kaur Sekhon, the wife of Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon. ^{[26] [27]} Several media outlets reported that actress Rashmika Mandanna was offered one of the other two female lead roles for a rumored ₹2–3 crore fee, although the casting was unconfirmed. ^{[4] [28]} Medha Rana was cast opposite Dhawan. ^[29] She portrays Dhanvanti Devi, the wife of Hoshiar Singh Dahiya. ^[30] Anya Singh was cast opposite Ahan, portraying the role of Sudha, the wife of Mahendra Singh Rawat. ^[5]

Filming

The principal photography commenced in early 2025. To portray military environments, the crew filmed at several Indian defense installations as well as on constructed sets. During the first phase in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in January 2025, the production kicked off in the Jhansi Cantonment, UP and its adjoining bordering areas in MP, before proceeding to the Babina Cantonment, UP. During this period, Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan filmed pivotal sequences within these cantonment areas to establish a realistic setting for the film. ^{[10] [31]} In the second phase, which took place in Maharashtra from early to June 2025, a major portion of the film was filmed at the National Defence Academy (NDA) in Khadakwasla, near Pune. This filming schedule focused on the protagonists' introductory sequences and training. Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty filmed scenes involving staged military drills, which included NCC cadets as background extras. ^[32] As production entered its third phase in Uttarakhand during mid - 2025, the focus shifted to the rugged terrain of Uttarakhand, which served as the primary backdrop for the film's combat sequences. Sunny Deol participated in this leg of the shoot, which combined constructed sets with natural landscapes to depict land and mountain warfare. In Halduwala, a village in the Dehradun district, the production team built sets to replicate Kashmiri villages for the film's battle scenes. Additional filming occurred at Kimadi village and the Santala Devi Temple. The production then expanded into the Almora district, where scenes were filmed at historic sites including Jageshwar. ^[33] The fourth phase took place in Punjab from mid – late 2025, where filming was done in the state, primarily within the Amritsar district. Scenes were shot in local villages and on sets built to resemble military camps. ^[34] After individual character arcs were completed by mid-2025, a final production phase occurred in December 2025. This period focused on the film's climax, which featured several large-scale action sequences. ^[35] Additional filming was done in Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Military Bases, following the initial schedule. In Srinagar, scenes were filmed at the Khanqah-e-Moula shrine. The Rajasthan portion of the shoot utilized desert terrain for desert warfare conditions. Production also took place at undisclosed air and naval bases for the sequences involving those military branches. ^{[36] [10]}

Release

Border 2 was theatrically released on 23 January 2026, aligning with India's Republic Day weekend. ^{[44] [45]} The first poster and the release date were unveiled on the 79th Indian Independence Day, with the film's tagline "Hindustan ke liye ladenge... phir ek baar!" (We will fight for India… once again!) prominently featured to evoke patriotic sentiment. ^[46]

The film was banned in various GCC countries as it was perceived as having 'anti-Pakistan' content. ^[47]

Reception

Critical reception

Border 2 received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, with many hailing it as a thunderous war epic that perfectly honours the legacy of the 1997 original. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 73% of 11 critics' reviews are positive. ^[48]

Taran Adarsh gave Border 2 a highly positive review, awarding the film 4.5 out of 5 stars and labelling it "OUTSTANDING". Writing for his social media platform upon its release on January 23, 2026, Adarsh described the film as a "thunderous, emotionally charged war epic" that successfully honors the legacy of the 1997 original. He praised director Anurag Singh for balancing large-scale spectacle with deep sentiment. Adarsh lauded Sunny Deol as the "beating heart" of the film, noting his "commanding and righteous" presence. ^[49]

Bollywood Hungama gave the film 4.5 stars out of 5, praising the writing, direction, emotional quotient, performances and action sequences, while feeling some visual effects could have been better and the length, a little shorter. ^[50]

Simran Singh from Daily News and Analysis similarly gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and described it as one of the best war films. She wrote – "The makers of Border 2 are in sync with the sentiments of the audience, and thus, they delivered one of the best war dramas of this decade. A film that will become a classic, and a textbook for future generations on how to up the ante and deliver the next-to-impossible task." ^[51]

Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated it 3.5/5 stars and writes that "Ultimately, Border 2 works best as a tribute, not a reinvention. It honours real heroes, celebrates inter-service unity, delivers rousing action and solid performances, and provides audiences with the comforting familiarity of patriotic spectacle". ^[52] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV awarded 3 stars out of 5 and commented that "Border 2 has come at a time when Hindi movies embrace jingoism with all their might. Although clearly mindful of what might work and what might not in the current climate, the film walks a tightrope that is often in danger of flying off its tether. If it doesn't, it is solely because Border 2 retains some remnants of the principles of yore". ^[53]

Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated it 3.5/5 stars and observed that "Border 2 stands out because it treats soldiers not as killing machines, but as human beings first." ^[54] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3 stars out of 5 and writes in her review that "Border 2 makes sure that our intrepid soldiers let the enemy jawans off when the latter remind them of their humanity even if that humanity is reserved only for ‘our’ men, theirs are full of bombast and pettiness, and only capable of using words like ‘halaal’, and calling Indians ‘buzdil’. ^[55]

Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Overall, Border 2 is not content with being just another sequel. It wants to make you sit up and salute. While its excesses are hard to ignore, so is its sincerity." ^[56] Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that " Border 2 is a solid, emotionally resonant, and technically accomplished war film that honours its legacy without being shackled by it. It may not redefine the genre, but it confidently reinforces the enduring power of big-screen patriotic cinema. Watch it for Sunny Deol’s roaring presence, its rousing spirit, and the emotion it wears proudly on its sleeve." ^[57] Lachmi Deb Roy of Firstpost gave 2 stars out of 5 and said that "Border 2 could have emphasised on the inner battles that each of the soldiers’ fight, but I guess it relies entirely on its previous glory. Out of due respect to each of the soldiers who fought for our country, I sat through the entire film." ^[58]

Box office

Border 2 collected ₹32.10 crore on its opening day with weekend total of over ₹154 crore in India and ₹178.73 crore worldwide. ^[3]

Sequel

Following the commercial success of Border 2, producer Bhushan Kumar announced that Border 3 will enter development shortly. The film will be a joint venture between T-Series and J. P. Films, with Anurag Singh set to direct. ^{[59] [60]}
