Respect to Rashid bhai. He's a legend on the field and now supporting Indian cinema. The original Border was iconic, hoping this sequel does justice to our armed forces' sacrifices. Jai Hind!

The cast looks powerful - Sunny Deol, Varun, Diljit! Releasing it around Republic Day is a perfect move. Ahan Shetty's "chaar baar" reply to KL Rahul was hilarious! Full paisa vasool entertainment.

While the hype is great, I just hope the film focuses on the true story and valor of our soldiers, and doesn't get lost in star power and glamour. The 1971 war deserves a respectful portrayal.

This viral trend is genius marketing. Getting international cricketers involved creates a buzz far beyond the usual Bollywood circles. Smart move by the producers.
