its so good to hear from you. i know how u must be feeling. exactly like me, when your bhai was piling up shyte after shyte and getting away with it. i mean to say with bb, i felt like someone was running chainsaw on me in slow motion. uff ...that was hurtful.

but oh mann it feels goood to see my baadshah play your bhais khel and come up with a BIG shyte...the BIGGEST OF ALL. ab bolo...kiss shyte meh dum hain.

i cannot believe my baadshah has killed your bhai at his own game.

bass lage raho kaminaA ...chupke chupke...i know dard hota hai...but stand up and shout:

THANK YOU MY BAADSHAH FOR DELIVERING THE BIGGEST SHYTE OF ALL!

yeh thts true i guess...

sunny deol is not as relevant today as the khans or kumars...plus i dunt think gadar is known as a gr8 film...its not like it made a huge impact on pop culture/film genres like the way HAHK, DDLJ et all did...they came during years where action movies were the best grossers so they set a trend...same with lagaan, it was innovative for its times and was trendsetting in the way it was filmed...rahman's music is also very fresh even today..but gadar dosent really have timeless appeal IMO in terms of music, or filming or anything...which is probably why i dunt remember it as much...

also the fact tht when gadar released, it wasnt as much of a phenomenon down the south as it was in the north/punjabi markets (owing to sunny and the theme of the film which was set in Punjab/Lahore i think)...since i was born and bought up in the south, might have missed the amazing craze it had...coz i dunt think it had a pan india appeal/craze like HAHK, DDLJ, 3 Idiots did...those were a rage across the country whearas i think gadar had a ridiculously strong craze in limited regions...

but still, for a film to sell tht many tickets without having pan india appeal is effin huge...no wonder ameesha patel brags abt it even today...thts possibly her only glorious link to the film industry ...

About pan-India appeal, I see Bossman already answered but I wouldn't know anyways since Gadar released after we had left India. Anyways, most of what I remembered from the film was hand pump and ...main nikla gaddi leke. 😆

@ bold, yeah that's what I meant by Gadar didn't really stand the test of time as well as the other films, which is probably a bigger reason for why it is not talked about much. PR and media makes a difference of course, but I don't think it can be the only reason either. What Gadar did at the time was by all means unbelievable and great, but ...yeah it wasn't really a trendsetter like HAHK, DDLJ, Lagaan were. For example, the ATBB list also has Raja Hindustani pretty high up but despite it starring Aamir who's a very relevant actor, people don't even mention that film today except perhaps to discuss the songs. In fact, many consider it to be amongst Aamir's worst films so I think the trendsetting thing is a bigger reason for why some films are remembered more/less than others.
