In the Season 2 premiere of The BoM Podcast, we revisit one of the most iconic war epics in Indian cinema — J.P. Dutta’s Border (1997) — while also reviewing its long-awaited sequel, Border 2 (2026), now playing in theaters.
Border wasn’t just a film — it was a cultural moment. From its larger-than-life ensemble cast to its unforgettable music and emotionally charged storytelling, the 1997 blockbuster redefined what a Bollywood war film could be. We reflect on our first memories of watching Border, why it worked so powerfully in its time, and why its emotional core still resonates decades later.
We dive deep into what made the original so enduring — J.P. Dutta’s old-school direction, the sincerity of the performances by Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and Akshaye Khanna, and how the film balanced patriotism, brotherhood, and sacrifice without losing its human touch. We also discuss how songs like Sandese Aate Hai became inseparable from the film’s emotional impact.
The conversation then shifts to Border 2 (2026) — a sequel carrying the heavy burden of legacy. We break down the film from a purely cinematic lens, focusing on its action set pieces, scale, performances, technical execution, and emotional beats. Rather than debating subject matter or politics, we evaluate whether the sequel understands why the original worked, and whether it earns its big moments instead of relying on nostalgia alone.
We also compare how war films have evolved over time — from the grounded, character-driven approach of the late 90s to the more stylized, high-octane spectacles of today — and where Border 2 fits within that evolution.
In this episode, we discuss:
🎖️ Why Border (1997) remains a benchmark for Bollywood war films
🎭 The power of its ensemble performances and emotional storytelling
🎶 How the soundtrack elevated the narrative
🎬 Whether Border 2 succeeds as a sequel or struggles under legacy pressure
🔥 War films then vs now — scale, sentiment, and spectacle
⭐ Our final verdicts and Mast Meter ratings for both films
✨ A nostalgic revisit, a modern review, and the perfect way to kick off Season 2 of The BoM Podcast.
