People just don't realise how big a success Gadar was in 2001. Gadar 2 was bound to succeed.
I knew the moment one started to shoot the movie (so knowing the sequel would happen) that the movie will be a success (I never commented otherwise).
I read a lot about Hindi Cinema and Gadar had been a milestone and had made Sunny a kind of national hero (he already had been a beloved action hero).
I'm in no way surprised about the love of the masses who finally got a movie - after Covid-dire times - where they could celebrate their cinema regardless the 'quality' provided that Sunny/the movie would deliver. Almost every positive statement about the movie came with the feeling of nostalgia...and I think, there is nothing wrong with that.
There is only one thing I dislike: there are far too much people who can't stop to make comparisons with other movies not respecting the extraordinary position Gadar 2 has because of being an organic sequel of the 2001 Gadar.
That I don't watch both movies doesn't mean that I'm not positive towards Gadar2 being loved and beneficial for the Hindi film industry.
Edit: Thanks for mentioning Ghatak, suraj... I'll try to find it to watch it...
