Gadar 2 movie review and release LIVE UPDATES: Fans praise Sunny Deol’s action; early box office projections suggest Rs 35 crore debut (1)Gadar 2 box office collection Day 2: The film has become the highest grossing film of Sunny Deol's career.

Gadar 2 movie review and release LIVE UPDATES: With Gadar 2, Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel are bringing back their iconic characters of Tara Singh and Sakeena, 22 years after the release of the superhit film Gadar. This time, Tara Singh is pitted against the Pakistani army for his son Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma). The film is touted to be a complete masala entertainer as Deol is once again set to deliver some seeti-maar dialogues, including the most-loved, “Hindustan zindabad tha, zindaba hai, zindabad rahega”.

Helmed by Anil Sharma, the film is releasing alongside Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi starrer OMG 2. But given the popularity of its prequel, Gadar 2 is already a winner at the ticket counters. The film has already sold 1,41,500 tickets for Day 1 on national cinema chains, PVR, INOX and Cinepolis. It is also making the going tough for Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which is having a good run in theatres. In fact, the advance ticket sales of Gadar 2 in single-screen cinemas are better than this year’s biggest hit, Pathaan. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh has predicted a Rs 35 crore opening for the film.

Speaking about his character Tara Singh at the 2023 Jagran Film Festival, Sunny Deol said, “Tara Singh is our Hulk, Superman. Every man wants to watch Hulk and Superman. He believes that (the hero) on screen will set things right. Like there are Marvel Comics, here is Tara Singh. You don’t draw these powers from working out. These are emotional powers.”

Gadar 2 is set in Lahore during the year 1971. The film also stars Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra and Simrat Kaur in pivotal roles.

Manish Wadhwa on Gadar 2 co-star Sunny Deol

In an interview with The Indian Express, Manish Wadhwa said, “Itna bhayankar change hai (It’s such an amazing change). One moment, he is standing with you talking so softly, and as soon as the director calls action, he is a different man. Sher aajata hai kahin se bilkul (He turns into a tiger). Sunny paaji is also so kind and generous and that side is so beautiful. I remember he had to hold my neck with anger in a scene. As soon as the shot was done, he came up and asked in Punjabi, ‘Lagi ta nahi.‘ He is the most caring co-star and so secure. He is not just bothered about his part but wants the entire team to do well to ensure the film does well. Similarly, Anil Sharma ji is also such a collaborative director, who would discuss, and ask for suggestions before filming. It was such an enlightening experience on the film’s set.” READ MORE HERE.
