Border 2 Twitter reviews

Varun Dhawan and Sunny Deol earn praise
The acting performances also received praise. One viewer tweeted, “The cult classic movie Border 2's trailer and teaser are nowhere near as good as Varun Dhawan's performance in the film.

Some call it cringeowrthy
However, the film has not received unanimous praise, with some calling it surface level entertainment that is cringeoworthy. One particularly critical tweet read: “Border 2 is quite a cringeworthy movie and falls into the same bracket as Gadar 2. Poor VFX, below-average music, and unnecessarily emotional scenes. Sunny Deol’s illogical shouting and screaming make it unbearable. You never feel connected to the story. Diljit and Ahaan Shetty delivered great performances.”
