Hello friends, Border 2 is still everywhere online.

Sunny Deol’s powerful voice booming:

“Awaaz kahan tak jaani chahiye? Lahore tak!”

This dialogue is giving pure goosebumps; it is like stepping back into the 1997 classic that we all love so much.

The original Border is not just a film; it is an emotion.

Shot in real Rajasthan desert locations with actual army tanks, jeeps, and recreated explosions (no heavy CGI back then), it felt so authentic.

Actors faced real dust, heat, and blasts, making their fear and bravery look genuine.

Border 2

Border 2 tells parallel stories from the same night of the 1971 war, not a direct sequel to Longewala, but showing the army, air force, and navy fighting together.

Sunny Deol returns as a tough officer, with Varun Dhawan on land, Diljit Dosanjh in the air, and Ahan Shetty at sea.

It hits theatres January 23, 2026, perfect for Republic Day vibes.

The teaser shows massive scale: battles everywhere, explosions, planes, ships.

Sunny dominates with his roar and intensity.

However, if we remove the “Border” title and all that nostalgia… does the movie still feel strong as a new war film?

Many people are saying it looks fake and plastic without the legacy.

Border 2 VFX

The VFX is getting a lot of heat; explosions seem cheap, backgrounds like green screen, lighting off, shadows wrong, tanks and planes looking like video games.

After grounded films like Dhurandhar, this heavy fake CGI feels like a step backwards.

Supporting actors get cool slow-mo entries, but miss the real soldier fire that Sunny has.

In the original, everything real around the actors made emotions hit harder.

Here, fake surroundings might make acting feel less impactful.

It is sad because 28 years later, tech is better, yet the old practical effects feel more real.

Seems like producers are relying on nostalgia and Sunny’s loud patriotism for easy success, like Gadar 2, low real effort, high money print.

Is it worth spoiling the original’s raw, heartfelt tribute to soldiers?

Many worry the loud spectacle dilutes that pure emotion.

However, Sunny’s power and nostalgia will probably make it a big hit anyway; the masses connect with feeling more than perfect visuals.
