A sequel to filmmaker JP Dutta’s iconic 1997 blockbuster Border – it is co-written and directed by Anurag Singh and is set against the backdrop of the India–Pakistan war of 1971. While there’s still time for the film to be open for viewers worldwide, reportedly, censor review is already done and one viral tweet has already set the mood for the film among movie buffs.

A tweet by Abhishek which has hit the viral button, is by far seen as the first review of Border 2. He has shared: The scene where people wept in the censor screening of #Border2 was when Sunny Deol’s character performed the last rites of his martyred son in the movie. High on emotions that will make any father cry. Even though Army families are emotionally strong, they’re humans after all.

Looks like, Border 2 rides massively on the shoulders of Sunny Deol, who is also the OG cast member of the movie. Other user have also commented on his tweet and the thread is worth checking out, if you are planning to watch the movie this weekend.
