Mumbai’s cinemas erupted in excitement on January 23 as Border 2 hit the screens, 24 years after the iconic 1997 original. The sequel has drawn massive crowds right from day one, but the real frenzy revolves around Sunny Deol’s powerhouse performance.
Fans couldn’t contain their admiration for Deol’s commanding presence and unforgettable dialogues that echo the spirit of the first film. Dressed in Deol’s signature military look, one devotee told reporters, ‘I’m a die-hard Sunny Deol fan. I came just for him. The movie is phenomenal, and his dialogues have stolen the show. His voice is the soul of the film—it sends shivers down your spine.’
He predicted a blockbuster run at the box office, slamming premature trolling of stars like Varun Dhawan. ‘It’s unfair to judge without watching. Everyone delivered brilliantly,’ he added.
Another fan stole the spotlight by arriving with a replica cannon, a nod to Deol’s battle-hardened character. ‘Sunny Deol gives me goosebumps. His voice is as powerful as ever,’ he gushed, reciting classics like ‘Where will your voice reach?’ and ‘You can’t defeat us.’ Explaining the prop, he said it was pure tribute to his idol.
Theatres buzzed with patriotic fervor, proving Border 2’s emotional pull remains unmatched. As crowds cheer Deol’s return, the film looks set to dominate charts and hearts alike.
