What Taran Adarsh Wrote in His Post
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh called the film's box office run "Tsunami."
"IT'S A TSUNAMI - 'Border 2' runs riot at the box office... Last month, #Dhurandhar and now, #Border2 has brought joy, hope, confidence and optimism back in #Bollywood... The Sunday numbers are nothing short of SENSATIONAL.
"Urban centres are performing exceptionally well, but it's the mass pockets that are in a league of their own... In fact, the Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets are outstanding, with housefull boards making a strong comeback across circuits.
"THIS IS IMPORTANT... No amount of online noise or social-media negativity—pre-release or post-release—has had any impact whatsoever on #Border2's business."
Echoing Adarsh's sentiment, Karan Johar wrote on his Instagram Stories, "Bollywood is back," after the back-to-back box office successes of Dhurandhar and Border 2.
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."
