The film is all set to hit the ₹100 cr milestone today [Sunday], emerging as the FIRST #Hindi film of 2026 to enter the ₹100 cr club.
The mass circuits continue to perform extraordinarily well, with several theatres reporting capacity issues... Urban centres, which gained momentum post-noon on Friday, recorded far stronger footfalls on Saturday.
#Mumbai city-suburbs, one of the biggest contributors to the film business, was ordinary on Friday but witnessed solid gains on Saturday."

Border 2 Review
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote: "Border 2 makes a fair fist of extolling the exceptional valour of the soldiers it showcases while probing, if only superficially, the vulnerabilities and mental swings that make them human and believable. Separations, bereavements, hopes, fears and misgivings punctuate the drama in which lives are put on the line and heroic deeds are performed in the blink of an eye."
