Border 2 is not allowed in the Gulf countries and has become one of the hottest topics before the film has its foreign release. The war drama was released in India on January 23, 2026, with the level of the 1971 IndiaPakistan conflict as the background. Even though there is a buzz and extensive domestic release, Border 2 banned in Gulf countries shows how sensitive the area is becoming in cinema about politics. The failure to get clearance in the major markets in the Middle East has caused concern among the distributors of the film where the Gulf region is an important source of international box office revenue to Bollywood.
Why Border 2 Was Not Cleared in the Gulf
Border 2 was banned in the Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain allegedly on the grounds of its anti-Pakistan message. The local censorship bodies identified the war-themed nature of the film according to industry reports, and this is happening in a trend whereby the censorship boards have restrained similar Indian movies. Though in India the CBFC gave the film a U/A certificate to allow the film release, Border 2 being banned in Gulf countries might still lose the money lost by the overseas market. The analysts observe that Border 2 has been banned in Gulf countries and this could affect its total international profits although the makers are still targeting Indian viewers.
