Why was 'Border 2' banned on the very first day?

Sunny Deol's much-awaited film "Border 2" hit theaters today, but it started with technical glitches. Fans were so enthusiastic about the film that early morning shows were scheduled for 7:30 a.m. across the country. However, due to technical glitches and delays in content delivery in several cities, these shows had to be canceled at the last minute, leaving theater audiences deeply disappointed.

Why were the morning shows of 'Border 2' cancelled?

A senior trade expert said, "If the content isn't available by midnight, it's difficult to have morning shows." According to the report, a WhatsApp message from UFO Movies stated that downloading would begin at 6:30 am. Because the film is 192 minutes long, it could take 3 to 4 hours to be ready for screening. Therefore, shows scheduled for 8 and 9 pm were cancelled at many locations.
