Gadar 2 is all poised to break records

1.5 million likes on the Udd Jaa Kale Kawa song in just 4 days.

Just an indicator of things to come!

TBH, I didn't expect such a reaction. and now Animal is out of the way, Gadar 2 will surely break box-office records.

I am in 2001 mode all over again. I was a teenager back then.

I remember we discussed it in History class, the debate raged on.

Millennials and Gen X are sure to revisit this movie for the nostalgia factor.

Thoughts???

"While Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was a commercial success and resonated with many viewers, it received criticism for its patriotic portrayal. Some critics argued that the film relied heavily on populist and jingoistic sentiments to evoke emotions from the audience, rather than providing a nuanced and realistic depiction of the historical events."

This was what we debated in History class in 2001

I honestly can't see it work. But stranger things have happened. 😆

as long as director doesn't give his beta more than 5 min role. if he is wise he should put him behind bars and have papa sunny rescue him.

same goes for sakina....that face ruined face will be too much to handle on big screen. make her disappear somehow after 5 mins appearance.

loving the song and picturisation...beautiful

I wasn’t a part of the viewership which made Gadar 1 what it was. I watch3d the movie much later on DVD and remember liking it but didn’t pay much attention to the nuances. But I watched it again recently and understood why it reached such heights at the BO.

1. If Tara Singh lost his family, so did Ashraf Ali.

2. Trains with dead bodies reached both sides.

3. It was mentioned more than once that People from all the 3 communities have paid a hefty price, not just one community.

4.In Pakistan, Tara Singh was able to move around because of some good Pakistanis.
5.When the Pakistanis hear about Tara-Sakeena story, it was shown how they sympathize with them.

6. Sakeena continues to be a Muslim, doing her namaaz etc.

7. More importantly and I think this was the real key.Ashraf wasn’t shown as some kind of a mindless beast hungry for the Hindu blood. He was a loving father first and in the end also he remains a loving father. I say the best character in the entire movie so delicately played by the legendary Amrish Puri.

No party was blamed, as far as I remember. But I was only 15, so maybe I didn't go into the depths of it.

My History teacher felt the movie was jingoistic.

Yeah the beta ka threat toh hai.🥴

And also I am scared he will go all out with the Villainy thing because in the first one it was the dad who couldn’t go all out because of his love for his daughter and that made for a great story in the end with both the sides balanced well.
