About the film “Gadar 2”
Tara Singh is shown in “Gadar 2” as he risks his life by crossing the border to free his kidnapped son Utkarsh Sharma from Pakistan. Gadar 2 masterfully advances its predecessor’s enthralling action sequences while portraying Tara Singh’s unrelenting rage towards those who are stoking animosity between India and Pakistan. The film is set in Lahore in the year 1971.
The sequel to the 2001 film “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” which was about the partition of India in 1947, is titled “Gadar 2.” Boota Singh, a former soldier in the British army, reportedly served as a loose influence for the film.
He gained notoriety for his unhappy relationship with Zainab, a Muslim girl he had shielded from riots during the Indian partition. Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Amrish Puri, and Lillete Dubey played the main roles in the film, which was both written and directed by Anil Sharma.
Fans reach the theatre on Tractors
Gadar 2 has received praise from viewers all throughout the nation. Hundred of peasants from Rajasthan’s Bhilwara district rode their tractors to a theatre on Sunday to attend a movie. The villagers had organized a tractor rally from Bhilwara’s central market area before traveling to the theatre.
The locals shouted “Bharat Mata Ki Jai (Long Live Mother)” while carrying Gadar 2 posters on their tractors. The film, according to Narayan lal Bhadala, a native of Agarpura in the Bhilwara district, is already a hit across the nation and is on track to become a blockbuster like its previous avatar.
Fans could be seen dancing inside the theatre during the movie’s end credits in a video that Sunny Deol’s father, veteran actor Dharmendra, had previously published on his X account. In the caption, Dharmendra wrote: “Love you all for your lovely response…Gadar (emotion of hands folded). In the video, several viewers can be seen dancing to the movie’s song “Main Nikla” while cheering inside a theatre.
Pakistan against Sunny Deol’s dialogue in Gadar 2
Gadar 2 reprises Sunny Deol’s famous role as Tara Singh, which has dominated the box office. The trailer for the movie, which is a sequel to Gadar: Ek Prem Katha ( 2001), was released in July. “Aaj bhi apke desh k logon ko Bharat waapas jaane ka mauka mile…toh aadha Pakistan khali ho jayega”, Sunny tells the Pakistani Army commander in the second installment. The first edition film’s dialogue was, “Humara Hindustan zindabad tha, zindabad hai, aur zindabad rahega,”
However, this has not been warmly received by Pakistan citizens, who have attacked both the movie and Deol. Many Pakistan Youtubers and other news portals went down to ask about their citizen’s reactions to the dialogue as it evoked their nationalist sentiments.
