Is Border 3 on cards? Here's what we know

Border 2 has created a lot of buzz ever since it hit the theatres for its gripping storyline, strong performances and desh bhakti. The war drama was produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J. P. Dutta and Nidhi Dutta under the banners of T-Series Films and J. P. Films. Now that Border 2 is riding high in success, producer, Bhushan Kumar dropped a major hint about the next instalment of the Border franchise, Border 3. For the uninitiated, Border 2 is a sequel to the 1997 classic, Border. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Bhushan Kumar said that Border 3 will happen in due course.

Sunny Deol pays tribute to his late dad, Dharmendra, through a sweet gesture in Border 2

While Border 2 captured a lot of attention with its storyline and outstanding performances, it was Sunny Deol’s sweet gesture in the film that stole the spotlight. In his much-awaited film, Sunny was credited as 'Dharmendra ka beta' in the opening credits. Sunny won many hearts after he paid tribute to his late father in the film, Border 2. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, one of the fans of Sunny wrote:

"Wow, what a tribute to the late Dharmendra Ji by #Border2 team. Sunny Deol is introduced as "Dharmendra ka Beta" at the start of movie credits. Some people can say isme kya wo beta hi to hai, but empathic people will understand the core of the emotion."

Border 2 X reviews

Border 2 has been receiving mixed reviews. A user wrote, "Watched Border 2 yesterday. It's a must-watch movie; it gives you nostalgia of the @JPFilmsOfficial patriotic movies. It tells you about the sacrifices of not just Indian soldiers but also their families. Critic reviews are all fake to demean the nationalist cinema. Don't believe." Another user penned, "I’m still thinking about Border 2. Not the loud moments, but the quiet ones, the silences that stay with you even after you leave the hall. Loved it #Border2Review #SunnyDeol #HappyRepublicDay."

Another user wrote, "First half is controlled, emotional, and sets up characters beautifully. The tension at the border, small humour, and bonding scenes prepare you mentally for the chaos ahead. The second half turns the theatre into a war zone, with nonstop patriotic highs, action, and unforgettable dialogues. Mass cinema at its peak! #Border2Review." Giving a mixed reaction, a user wrote, "Watched #Border2 and it's a fairly good watch despite the flaws. Shines while exploring soldiers’ personal lives and emotions. Some over-the-top moments and VFX issues hamper the experience, but when the emotional beats land, they make up for it. Score during action scenes."

Sharing disappointment, a user penned, "#Border2 is badly made with a poor screenplay and fails to create any nostalgic or emotional connection. Not even 10% of the masterpiece that the OG Border was. Very disappointing and absolutely not worth watching."
