On the occasion of Vijay Diwas, the makers of Border 2, T-Series and J.P. Films have unveiled the teaser of the film. Based on the true events of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, the movie aims to pay tribute to the courage, unity and sacrifices of the Indian Armed Forces.
The teaser gives a powerful first look at the film and introduces its lead stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty showing them in strong roles across the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Soon after its release, reactions to the much awaited sequel’s teaser flooded social media. Several users took to X to share their views, with many criticising the visual effects. A section of netizens felt the VFX looked underwhelming and did not match expectations for a film of this scale.
Here’s what netizens had to say:
A war film in 2026 with these visuals? If you can’t handle VFX/CGI properly or don’t have the budget… why attempt this scale at all? #Border2 looks like another loud, jingoistic film. pic.twitter.com/dPKswBb3Wf

Such a mediocre look. Sunny Deol is just loud. This is not true conviction

Sunny Deol had a Gigantic Action Hero Aura in 90s & early 2000s. Later his Action was just reduced to a Joke on screen. Now even his dialogue delivery lacks the Aura of Real Sunny.
