In this episode of Picturebaazi, we dive deep into the much-awaited Border 2 — its storytelling, box office success, and how it compares to the iconic 1997 classic Border.

Was Border 2 just nostalgia done right, or did it genuinely add something new to Indian war cinema? We break down the film’s strengths, flaws, performances, patriotic tone, and audience reception.

The conversation then takes a thoughtful turn as we discuss the depiction of Mahatma Gandhi in Indian cinema — from idealized portrayals to critical interpretations. Why does Gandhi remain such a complex and often controversial figure on screen? And how has Bollywood’s view of him evolved over the decades?
