Hold onto your hats, movie buffs! Anil Sharma’s sequel, “Gadar 2: The Katha Continues,” starring the iconic Sunny Deol and the talented Ameesha Patel (and let’s not forget Utkarsh Sharma, Manish Wadhwa, and the gang) has lit up the Indian box office for a stunning four weeks straight. Can you believe it?
In just 28 days, this cinematic masterpiece raked in a mind-blowing Rs 504.10 crores! And guess what? It’s still packing theaters, even with the flashy newcomer, ‘Jawan’, elbowing its way into the scene with a smashing debut.
Heads up, “Pathaan” and “Baahubali 2” – “Gadar 2” is hot on your heels and ready to clinch those top Hindi-language film records in India. If I were a betting person, I’d put my money on it taking the crown either by the end of its fifth week or early in its sixth. And did you know? Right now, it’s sitting pretty as the third-highest grosser among Hindi flicks. Talk about a hat trick!
Here’s a zinger for you: “Gadar 2”, like its trailblazing predecessor “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha”, is now basking in the glory of being an all-time blockbuster. Yep, you heard that right. This is the first time two movies from the same franchise have both hit this jackpot in Indian cinema. The original “Gadar” might’ve pulled more eyes, but the success of “Gadar 2” is oh-so-sweet, especially when you think of the doubters and naysayers both the actor and director had to contend with.

That’s right, folks – it’s the second film in 2023 to score such a win, hot on the heels of “Pathaan”.
Let’s dish on the plot a bit, shall we? Set against the tense backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, our hero, Tara Singh (played by none other than Sunny Deol), is on a heart-pounding mission in Pakistan to find his son, Charanjeet (kudos to Utkarsh Sharma). And guess who’s back? Ameesha Patel, stealing scenes as Sakina. This flick picks up the story from “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” which delved into the heart-wrenching events of the 1947 partition.
So, if you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for? Dive in and join the sensation that is “Gadar 2!”
