What wouldn’t a man in love do to gain the love of his woman? The extent to which a man can go to win over the love of his woman was portrayed perfectly in the prequel of the recently released Bollywood blockbuster titled Gadar.
The most awaited sequel of the blockbuster movie of 2001, titled Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, made it to the theatres on 11 August 2023. The tickets for the blockbuster sequel are getting sold out in no time as it serves as a walk down memory lane for the children of the 2000s.
Directed by Anil Sharma, the film stars the beloved Sunny Deol reprising his role of Tara Singh, and Ameesha Patel, reprising her role of Sakeena in the lead cast. The supporting cast of the film stars Utkarsh Sharma playing the role of Charanjeet, Tara’s son, and Manish Wadhwa playing the role of Major General.
Viewers felt the film was an old-school desi love as the beloved Deol returns on the big screen with a vengeance. The portrayal of emotions like love, revenge, and drama was done brilliantly by the talented actors in the movie. Viewers felt that one of the prime reasons for the film doing this well in the theatres was the nostalgia factor.
The brilliantly made movie is doing amazingly with the audience. The melodious Bollywood songs in the film became an instant hit among the Indian audience. The nostalgic song “Mein Nikla Gaddi Leke” has made the fans of Sunny Deol twirl in joy. One of the reasons the audience loves the film is the aging of the actors instead of casting new actors to play the same role.

Gadar 2- Premise
The sequel begins with a bang, and the viewers get to glimpse the flashback from the blockbuster film released in 2001. After the glimpse is over the viewers meet with Iqbaal, the major general of Pakistan threatening the Hindus to convert their religion.
Defying Iqbaal’s order of conversion will end in the death of the said Hindu. Major General Iqbaal gets Sakeena’s father executed, but still unsatisfied with the revenge for the soldiers his country lost, Iqbaal plans to take revenge on Tara.
Tara believes his son is sweet, innocent and stays away from film and acting as Tara wants his son Jeete to do well in life. In a comical turn of events, Tara returns his son from the theatre he was acting at and informs his wife that their son has been skipping college for ten days.
Tara decides that it would be better for Jeete to continue his study at a boarding school in Chandigarh, but his wife refuses his idea. Tara soon learns that there are chances for the two countries to go a war once again due to the rising situation. Tara’s son Jeete demands a bike from his father, but he refuses his request initially.
But Tara surprises his son on his birthday with his dream bike, and the fan-favorite son, “Mein Nikla Gaddi Leke,” begins to play in the background. During an ongoing battle on the borders, Tara is instructed to deliver supplies to the soldiers. At that moment, Major Iqbaal arrives at the border and sees Tara as his prey, and orders his battalion to retreat.
After the team responsible for providing supplies on the border returns, Tara’s family notices his absence. Tara’s family believes that the Pakistani soldiers have imprisoned him. Tara’s son makes the decision to go to Pakistan to rescue his father from the clutches of Pakistani soldiers.
Jeete is captured by Major Iqbaal and tortured under his command as Iqbaal wants to take revenge on Tara for the forty soldiers who lost their life during Tara’s escape in the previous film. Tara returns to India with no harm and learns that his son went to the other country to rescue him.
Tara hurriedly leaves with no plan to save his son from the hands of Major Iqbaal. Tara takes help from his friends residing in Pakistan to rescue his son. After he arrives in Pakistan, Tara confronts Hamid before helping his son in escaping from a public execution. After the escape, the father-son duo separates but reunites after the two get help by Muskaan’s family.

Meanwhile, as Tara and Jeete spend time at Muskaan’s house with her family, Jeete starts falling in love with her. Muskaan is a Pakistani Muslim girl with a kind heart and beautiful doe-like eyes. To make Tara beg for mercy, Major Iqbaal captures Muskaan’s family and some soldiers from India.
This allows the Indian army to get a hold of Hamid and hold him at gunpoint. Tara decides to spare Iqbaal’s life, but the latter attempts to end Tara’s life anyway. This action of Iqbaal gets him gunned down at the hands of Indian soldiers. The film ends blissfully, with Tara and Jeete returning to India in triumph and reuniting with Sakeena.
