Realizing that the film is going to put up a huge number over the weekend and have an insane demand, the theatres have started to increase shows. The popular cinema chain MovieMax has taken the initiative and has already organized post-midnight shows of the war drama in their key properties for Saturday, January 24.In Mumbai’s MovieMax Huma Kanjurmarg, one can catch Border 2 at 1:20 am.
