Fans reactions

The recently released Border 2 has sparked a wave of mixed reactions across social media, with fans and critics sharing their thoughts in real time.

A fan appreciated Varun Dhawan's phenoemenal acting, writing, "Varun Dhawan is born again in Border 2."

She continued, "As Major Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, he become him. Restrained, simmering, a brooding edginess and then he explodes in the last one hour. Possibly among his best performances. A nuanced one which from the beginning is different from the others as his back story builds up."

"@varundhawan is among the finest actors we have today & Border 2 reminds us of that brilliance again. Give him a great role & director & he will be unforgettable. Pure aag," she added.
