It's so sweet to see Athiya supporting her brother like this! Family pride shining through. 🥰 The 1971 war is such a significant chapter in our history. If the film does justice to the bravery of our soldiers, it will be a must-watch.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Remakes and sequels rarely live up to the original, especially a classic like Border. The cast had legends. Hope the new team has focused on substance and not just scale. Will wait for the audience reviews.

JP Dutta is involved again, that's a good sign! His direction in the first one was brilliant. Excited to see how they portray the 1971 events. Our history needs to be told and retold to the new generation. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Suniel Shetty in the original, now Ahan Shetty in the sequel. Full family legacy! Hope the film has powerful performances. The bar is set very high by "Sandese Aate Hai" and that entire climax scene.

While the sister's support is lovely, I hope the film's marketing isn't just relying on star kids and family connections. The real stars should be the story of our soldiers and the director's vision. Let's hope it's a worthy tribute.
