It's lovely to see a son making his father so proud. The legacy of the first film is huge, and I hope this sequel does justice to it. The pressure must be immense on the entire cast and crew.
As a defence forces kid, these films mean a lot. They bring our stories to the nation. Hope they show the real grit and sacrifice, not just jingoism. Sunny Deol is a legend, good to see a new actor learning from him.
So excited! The first movie's songs still give me goosebumps. "Sandese Aate Hai" is an emotion. I hope the music in Border 2 is just as powerful. All the best to the team!
Respectfully, I hope they don't just rely on nostalgia. The original was a product of its time. A sequel needs to have a fresh, compelling story and not just be a cash grab. Fingers crossed!
His excitement is contagious! You can feel how much this opportunity means to him and his family. Wishing him all the success. Jai Hind!
