Anticipation around Border 2 has been extremely high. The 1997 blockbuster war film Border is being revived with fresh faces. The biggest nostalgia factor remains the return of Sunny Deol as Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri.
Alongside him, a younger generation has been introduced. Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty play major roles. Recently released assets from the film have drawn largely negative reactions.
Fans feel Border 2 does not match the emotional impact of Border. They believe the natural performances of Suniel Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, and Jackie Shroff are missing in the sequel.
The revival of the song Chitthi Aati Hai has received mixed feedback. While fans praised the voice of Sonu Nigam, many felt the visuals did not work. Varun Dhawan’s performance became the main point of criticism.
Viewers feel Varun Dhawan’s acting was overdone in the music video. They believe he could have toned down his energy for a more restrained performance. Instead, fans say he delivered a familiar and formula-driven act.
Concerns are growing about the final output. Fans worry that if the initial impressions feel weak, the film may struggle. The heavy use of VFX in the teaser has also drawn criticism.
Social media reactions have been harsh. Some compared Varun Dhawan’s performance to overacting in college drama societies. Others felt even Sonu Nigam’s melodious voice could not balance the exaggerated expressions.
