Border 2 Movie Review Synopsis:
Border 2 is a story about the brave Indian armed forces.
The year is 1971, and there is a tense situation at the border between India and Pakistan. Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon (Diljit Dosanjh) is getting married in his village in Punjab. His friends, Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya (Varun Dhawan) from the Army and Lt Cdr Mahendra S Rawat (Ahan Shetty) from the Navy, attend the wedding. The three men met in 1961 at the National War Academy and have been close friends ever since. During the wedding, they get a call that things are serious at the border and they need to report for duty. Major Dahiya takes charge of his unit in Jammu. Nirmal returns to his base in Srinagar, while Mahendra boards a warship near Gujarat. Meanwhile, Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler (Sunny Deol), their trainer from the War Academy, is stationed in the Munawar Tawi region in Jammu. The challenges they face are huge. Most of the forces have been sent to East Pakistan, so the Western border is being defended by fewer troops. The Pakistani army plans to cross into Rajasthan, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir and cause trouble. What happens next is the main story of the film.
Border 2 Movie Story Review:
Nidhi Dutta’s story is cinematic and informative.
It shares some lesser-known brave moments from the 1971 war. The screenplay by Sumit Arora and Anurag Singh is entertaining and easy to understand. The film has many exciting moments and also touches the heart in several emotional scenes. The dialogues are natural, dramatic, and impress in several scenes.
Anurag Singh’s direction is excellent.
The original Border (1997) was popular because of its simple and powerful storytelling. That is not an easy thing to do today, as even big directors fail at it. But Anurag does it well. The war scenes don’t confuse the audience and instead keep them involved. He also knows that the audience wants big, exciting moments, and he delivers them. There are many such moments in the film, but two stand out. First, the intermission scene is intense. Lastly, the last 15 minutes are sure to make you excited. The film also has emotional scenes. There is also some humor, especially in the scenes from the National War Academy, and the romantic scenes are sweet.
On the downside, the visual effects in scenes featuring Mahendra S Rawat are not great.
The length of the film is another minor issue. Though the 199-minute film never feels boring, there are parts where the excitement dips a bit. This happens in the first half, after the romantic scenes, when the audience may get impatient and expect the focus to return to the border. In the second half, when the war starts in full force, a few moments don’t fully engage the viewers. However, these are just small issues in an otherwise exciting film. The movie does what it promises in the end.
Border 2 Movie Review Performances:
Sunny Deol gives a top performance.
He connects deeply in emotional scenes and shines in war scenes. A few moments will remind you of his role in Gadar (2001) and other classic films, creating a strong impression. It is also important to note that he is in the film from start to finish, contrary to rumors. Varun Dhawan delivers a heartfelt performance and shows great bravery. The actor fully immerses himself in his character. Diljit Dosanjh is as lovable as always and plays his role with sincerity. Ahan Shetty also does well and proves he can be a strong performer if given the chance. However, he is overshadowed by the other big names. From the female cast, Mona Singh (Simi) makes the biggest impact. Newcomer Medha Rana (Dhanvanti) is next. Sonam Bajwa is charming in a small role. Anya Singh (Sudha) supports the story well. The supporting cast includes Paramveer Cheema (Nishaan Singh) and Vansh Bhardwaj (Santram), who stand out in the scene where they receive letters from their families. Bhushan Vikas (Beniram Rao) and Azad Chauhan (Balam Singh) also do well. The antagonists, Waqar Sheikh (Khalid), Ali Mughal (Akram Khan), and Imran Farooq (Rasheed), are strong. Other actors like Ishika Gagneja (Sukhminder; Nirmaljit’s sister) and Guneet Sandhu (Angad; Fateh’s son) should also be mentioned.
