The verdict
Border is a dependable Hindi film — it does what it sets out to do. It carries a 6.5/10 on TMDB across 91 ratings — squarely mid-table. At 176 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. In Canada you can stream it on Amazon Prime Video.
Should you spend 2h 56m on it?
2h 56m of Hindi history with action threaded through. At this length it's the whole evening's plan, not something to slot in after dinner.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating is resting on 91 votes so far
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 56m
- Why
- 6.5/10 from 91 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want something you can finish before a reasonable bedtime
- Best for
- A night with nothing after it
