Border 2 Banned in Gulf Countries: Will Sunny Deol's Appeal Diminish?

• Sunny Deol's 'Border 2' has been banned in Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, just before its release.
• The ban is attributed to the film's 'anti-Pakistan' stance and sensitive military portrayal, similar to Aditya Dhar's 'Dhruvandhar' last year.
• Gulf countries have strict censorship rules, and despite efforts, the censor board refused to approve 'Border 2'.
• 'Dhruvandhar' faced a similar ban, resulting in an estimated loss of 90 crore rupees, as the Middle East is a profitable market for Indian films.
• Despite the ban, the 'Border 2' team is unconcerned, expecting strong domestic collections and the film's content to ensure its success, much like 'Gadar 2'.

Why It Matters: Sunny Deol's 'Border 2' faces a Gulf ban over its 'anti-Pakistan' theme, but makers expect domestic success.
