The new film is directed by Anurag Singh of Kesari fame.The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty. After the release of the film’s song Ghar Kab Aaoge, a section of social media users criticised Dhawan’s expressions in the track, with some questioning his performance and arguing that he does not fit the role of a soldier.“I believe you need to shut down the noise and let the work do the talking, these things keep happening but it doesn’t matter to me. I don't work for this. What I work for, you will get to know this Friday."I believe in the film and it’s important to make a good film. I’m not concerned about the numbers (box office collection) and I come from a school where you let your work do the talking,” Dhawan told reporters at a promotional event for the film.The Hindustan Times review of the movie read, “Overall, Border 2 is not content with being just another sequel. It wants to make you sit up and salute. While its excesses are hard to ignore, so is its sincerity. The film reaches back into a time when patriotism in cinema was worn unapologetically... When heroes spoke loudly and emotions rang true. And with some genuinely moving moments, Border 2 delivers exactly what it promises: a theatrical experience meant to be felt in a darkened hall, among strangers who momentarily feel like comrades.”
