New strategies of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited to divert the issue of forgery and fabrication of documents.

As the Kotak Bank is under investigation and has to face the consequence of FIR/Complaints registered against them, therefore, after registering an FIR, Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited has made a miscellaneous application before the DRT for return of original documents filed along with original application bearing no. 57 of 2009. It is also interesting to note that forged and fabricated documents including one affidavit and a power of attorney both dated 24.08.2007 was filed by Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited before DRT as a Copy of the document. No original documents were filed by Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited. This is a tactic of the Kotak Mahindra Bank only for the delay and diverts the matter.

Border 2: The Legacy of Valor Returns to the Battlefield

Published

on

“Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan in Border 2, portraying Indian soldiers during the 1971 war

Nearly three decades after Border (1997) became a landmark in Indian war cinema, Border 2 is set to revive the legacy with a grand, emotionally charged sequel. Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by T-Series in collaboration with J.P. Films, the film stands among the most awaited Hindi releases of 2026. Designed as both a tribute and a progression, Border 2 aims to connect generations through courage, sacrifice, and patriotism.

Release and Strategic Timing

Border 2 is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on January 23, 2026, aligning perfectly with the Republic Day weekend. This timing underscores the film’s patriotic core and positions it as a major holiday release, much like its predecessor, which resonated deeply with audiences during a similar nationalistic wave.

A Powerful Ensemble Cast

The sequel brings together a compelling mix of legacy actors and contemporary stars. Sunny Deol returns to the battlefield as Fateh Singh Kaler, now portrayed as a seasoned senior soldier whose experience anchors the story. His presence serves as an emotional bridge to the original film.

Joining him is Varun Dhawan, who steps into the role of Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, representing a new generation of army leadership—driven, fearless, and deeply committed to duty. Diljit Dosanjh takes on the role of Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, adding depth and dignity to the Indian Air Force’s representation in the narrative.

A particularly meaningful addition is Ahan Shetty, whose character is reportedly connected to the role played by his father, Suniel Shetty, in the original Border. This casting choice reinforces the film’s theme of legacy and generational continuity.

The ensemble is further strengthened by Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana, and Anya Singh, who bring emotional balance to the intense war backdrop by portraying families, loved ones, and individuals affected by conflict beyond the battlefield.

Story and Setting

Set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, Border 2 explores a larger and more complex military conflict than the first film. While the original focused heavily on the Battle of Longewala, the sequel reportedly expands its scope to show coordinated efforts across land and air, emphasizing how unity and sacrifice shape the nation’s destiny.

At its heart, the film tells the story of soldiers who inherit the responsibility of defending the country, even as the nature of warfare evolves. It highlights not just action and strategy, but also the emotional cost of war—separation, loss, and unwavering resolve.

Teaser and Music: Stirring National Emotion

The teaser, released on December 16, 2025, coinciding with Vijay Diwas, instantly reignited nostalgia while setting a more intense tone for the sequel. The line “Aawaz kaha tak jaani chahiye? Lahore tak!” captured public attention, signaling the film’s bold narrative stance and high emotional stakes.

Music continues to play a vital role in Border 2. The first single, “Ghar Kab Aaoge”, unveiled on January 2, 2026, is a reimagined tribute to the iconic “Sandese Aate Hai.” Launched at a grand event in Longewala and Jaisalmer, the song blends modern orchestration with heartfelt lyrics, evoking both nostalgia and renewed emotion.

Production Scale and Vision

Principal photography wrapped up in December 2025, with the climax shot on an expansive scale, reflecting the filmmakers’ commitment to authenticity and spectacle. Director Anurag Singh, known for handling large-scale narratives with emotional depth, brings a contemporary cinematic approach while respecting the legacy of the original film.

Anticipation and Legacy

With its mix of legacy characters, fresh faces, rousing music, and a historically significant setting, Border 2 is more than just a sequel—it is a continuation of a cultural phenomenon. As audiences prepare to revisit the battlefield in 2026, the film promises to honor the past while delivering a powerful, modern war epic for a new generation.
