Border 2 Movie Release Live:
Only a few hours remain before Border 2 hits theatres, and the buzz around the film is at an all-time high. The much-awaited sequel to the 1997 patriotic classic Border is gearing up for a thunderous opening at the box office. From advance booking figures to opening-day collection predictions, every update related to the film is grabbing attention as excitement continues to build among fans and trade experts alike.
Sunny Deol is making a powerful return to the big screen, reprising the role of Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri, a character that left a lasting impact in the original film. Joining him is a strong ensemble cast featuring Varun Dhawan as Colonel Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, Diljit Dosanjh as Air Force officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, along with Ahan Shetty, Sonam Bajwa, Mona Singh and Medha Rana in key roles.
Set against the backdrop of the India–Pakistan conflict, Border 2 brings to life fresh stories of courage, sacrifice and brotherhood from the frontlines. The film blends high-octane action with deep emotional moments, making it appealing to both fans of the original film and a new generation of moviegoers.
The film has already surpassed expectations in advance bookings. According to trade analysts, Border 2 is poised to deliver a blockbuster opening and could even surpass the first-day records of recent hits like Chhaava and Dhurandhar. Early trends clearly point towards a strong start at the box office.
Latest updates suggest that pre-sale ticket numbers are climbing rapidly, with thousands of tickets being sold every hour. This has raised expectations that the film will earn a significant amount even before its official release. Border 2 has a runtime of 3 hours, 19 minutes and has been cleared by the censor board without a single cut. Reports also claim that it is set to become India’s second-biggest war film in terms of scale.
The film has also drawn attention due to the reported fees of its leading stars. Sunny Deol is said to be the highest-paid actor in the film, reportedly charging around ₹50 crore. Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh, though prominent names, are said to have received comparatively lower remuneration.
Region-wise advance booking numbers paint a promising picture, especially in major circuits like NCR and Mumbai, where the film has registered strong pre-release earnings. However, reports indicate that Border 2 will not be released in several Gulf countries, which may impact its overseas business given the large Indian diaspora in the region.
As for the budget, media reports suggest that Border 2 has been made on a massive scale with an estimated cost ranging between ₹150 crore and ₹200 crore, though the makers are yet to confirm the exact figure.
Ahead of the release, the cast has been sharing emotional messages and behind-the-scenes moments on social media. Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty have spoken about their intense shooting experiences and the bond formed during the film, further adding to the anticipation.
The story of Border 2 is said to be inspired by the 1971 India–Pakistan war and Operation Chengiz, which marked the beginning of the historic conflict. Scheduled to release on January 23, the film is expected to make a big impact at the box office just ahead of the Republic Day weekend.
