#Border2 First Half: Mass ?
The music and the dialogues are the film’s biggest strengths.
Sunny Paaji remains unmatched but it is a treat watching Diljit too. The humour he brings comes out naturally.
Also, loved how Sunny Deol (Son of Dharmendra) appears at the beginning.…

When Sunny Deol said Dharmendra’s Haqeeqat inspired him to do Border
At the grand launch of the Ghar Kab Aaoge song, which is the remake of the Border 2 song Sandese Aate Hain, Sunny made an emotional statement. Sunny said how his late father, Dharmendra, inspired him. He shared a childhood memory of his father’s 1964 classic Haqeeqat, which paved the way for the original Border.
At the event, Sunny said, “Maine Border ki thi kyunki jab maine apne papa ki film Haqeeqat dekhi thi, woh mujhe bahut pyaari lagi thi. Tab main bahut chhota tha. Jab main actor bana, tab maine tay kiya ki main bhi papa jaise ek film karunga. JP Dutta saab ke saath maine baat ki, aur hum dono ne decide kiya ki hum iss subject par ek film banayenge, jo bohot hi pyaara hai aur aap sab ke dilon mein basa hua hai.”
