Gadar 2 review :
Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts and get ready to time travel in the past.
2001 to be precise when Gadar released and theatres across India reverberated to 'Hindustan Zindabad' and 'Bharatmata ki Jai' cries.
Gadar 2 brings that same euphoria back to cinemas and how!!
The noisy boisterous crowd at Movietime Starcity Cinema, Matunga were cheering every Sunny Paaji scene so loudly that I missed some dialogues in between. Need to go back anyway as Gadar 2 has tremendous repeat value even for a regular moviegoer - single screen ho ya multiplex, it is a must see.
Taking Tara Singh- Sakina's story forward, this direct sequel takes place in 1970's Pakistan where Tara goes one more time to save his son Jeetey imprisoned there. The enemy this time, is an ISI General seeking revenge for Tara Singh's past adventures in Pakistan we are all aware of...
Expectedly, Sunny Deol is outstanding in a role no other actor can attempt to save his life!! Tara Singh is a complete Deol character. Right from his introduction till the climactic encounter, Deol plays to the gallery and delivers his punches - the 'dhaai kilo haath' ones as well verbal roar of 'Hindustan Zindabad forever'. Wow!!
Ameesha Patel compliments Sunny superbly and gives the film an effective nostalgic touch when the part one chartbuster songs are recreated on them. Utkarsh Sharma, growing up from kiddo Jeetey to play Tara-Sakina's grown up 'gabru' son, pitches in a decent performance. Simrat Kaur as Utkarsh's Pakistani girlfriend, looks gorgeous. The love angle between the two is truly endearing. Manish Wadhwa leaves a mighty impression as the evil General who hates Indians, particularly Tara Singh.
The action sequences are brilliantly executed and Sunny Deol does wonders with a hammer and a wheel this time. The iconic handpump from first part also plays its own pivotal role. Tee hee!!
Anil Sharma's direction is rooted in the '90s and that is the biggest USP of Gadar 2. It transforms us to that era of masala entertainers where over the top action and punchy one liners generated 'ceetis' and claps from the audience. We have been missing that fun in Bollywood for quite some time now. Glad it is back. Hindustan Zindabad!!
