Overview
- Border 2 is slated to hit theaters on January 23, positioning the patriotic drama for the Republic Day weekend.
- During a January 6 #VarunSays session, Varun Dhawan said he injured his tailbone filming the Battle of Basantar and spent 40 days in Babina working with real soldiers.
- Dhawan described the film’s scope as uniting the Army, Navy and Air Force, while praising co‑star Sunny Deol as a “one man army.”
- Producer Nidhi Dutta said the film’s goal is to tell soldiers’ stories rather than outdo the 1997 Border, as nostalgia around the new song Ghar Kab Aaoge prompted comparisons.
- Industry coverage projects a strong opening over the holiday frame, with some box‑office analyses predicting it could rank among the top Republic Day debuts.
