Gadar: Ek Prem Katha is not just a romantic movie but an epic and way ahead of its time. The film is based on the love story of an Indian Sikh guy named Tara Singh, played by Sunny Deol, who falls for a Muslim girl named Sakina, played by Ameesha Patel, during the time of partition. This movie became a blockbuster during that time.
Released in 2001, Anil Sharma’s directorial venture is one such Bollywood film that left an indelible mark on Indian cinema and society. Apart from love and romance, the movie also playfully tells the story of sacrifice and nationalism.

In a delightful nod to our cherished memories, director Anil Sharma recently gifted us the long-awaited sequel to the iconic cinematic masterpiece. The recently released cinematic masterpiece, aptly titled Gadar 2, marks the return of the original cast. Needless to say, it rekindles the magic that captivated audiences’ hearts decades ago. The sequel seamlessly picks up where its predecessor left off. It ventured into uncharted territory with the story of Tara Singh and Sakina embarking on a new chapter of their lives.
The sequel follows up the story after Sakina’s father accepts Tara Singh. It portrays Tara Singh and Sakina living happily as a couple, and their kid Charanjeet is all grown up.
