Border 2 Trailer Review: Sunny Deol Returns With Commanding Power
At the heart of the trailer is Sunny Deol, reprising his role as Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler, now leading the 6th Sikh Brigade.
His deep, authoritative voiceover sets the emotional tone, reminding viewers that a border is not just a line, but a promise to the nation.

New Faces, New Firepower
The sequel introduces a strong new ensemble. Varun Dhawan plays Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, bringing controlled aggression and emotional depth.
A scene where he reassures his wife before heading into battle adds warmth to the grit.
Diljit Dosanjh impresses as Air Force Flight Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, owning the skies with quiet resolve.
Ahan Shetty appears as Navy Lt Commander M.S. Rawat, fiercely guarding India’s waters. Their shared moment reinforces the film’s core idea of unity across the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Emotion Meets Spectacle
Beyond the battlefield, the trailer highlights the human cost of war.
Emotional farewell scenes featuring Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana, and Anya Singh ground the story.
These moments balance the large-scale action, which includes tank warfare, aerial dogfights, and naval combat.
The background score elevates the drama, though some aerial and naval visuals show minor CGI flaws, an improvement over the teaser but not entirely seamless.
Final Verdict
The Border 2 trailer delivers emotion, scale, and patriotic energy without going overboard. Sunny Deol’s commanding presence leads the charge, while the ensemble hints at a powerful collective performance.
If the film lives up to its trailer, Border 2 could emerge as one of 2026’s biggest patriotic blockbusters.
