After ‘Dhurandhar’ ban; ‘Border 2’ not releasing in Gulf countries
‘Border 2’ has reportedly been banned across several Gulf countries, despite efforts by the makers to secure a release in the region. The development comes shortly after the blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar’ was also banned in six countries, highlighting an increasingly restrictive environment for films perceived as politically sensitive.
According to a source quoted by Bollywood Hungama, “Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE will not be releasing ‘Border 2’. By now, it’s given that films perceived as having ‘anti‑Pakistan’ content don’t get a release in this belt. Yet, the team of ‘Border 2’ did make an attempt, and sadly, their attempts proved futile. One day is left for release, and the hope is still there that they pass the film, though the possibility seems remote.”

The ban is expected to affect the film’s overseas box‑office performance, as the Gulf region remains a significant market for Indian cinema. Despite this setback, anticipation for ‘Border 2’ remains high in India and in other international territories where the film is set to release as scheduled.
