Gadar 2 Critics Review: By Taran Adarsh, Komal Nahta, Anupama Chopra, Rajeev Masand
Its sequel Gadar 2 has been released after 22 years. In these 22 years, the star named Sunny Deol has become very dim and Anil Sharma’s filmmaking technique has become outdated, but the strength of the Gadar brand is such that even at the age of 66, Sunny Deol starrer movie can be seen in the films of today’s young stars. In comparison, Gajab has got an amazing opening at the box office. Gadar was the story of the period of the India-Pakistan partition. The action-packed film also had high-octane drama, excellent dialogues, and a sweet love story that directly touched the hearts of the audience. The songs of the film were also melodious. In Gadar 2, writer Shaktimaan Talwar and director Anil Sharma have taken forward the story of Tara Singh.

Gadar2 is old-school desi entertainment at its best… SunnyDeol returns to the big screen with a vengeance… He is as ferocious as ever… Gadar2 will create Gadar at the BO… The patriotic flavour coupled with tremendous recall value will make it a huge money-spinner. Gadar2 could’ve done with a shorter run time and a few over-stretched sequences.

While the first part is spent on establishing the emotional content and pretext, the second half is where most meat lies. There’s Sunny Deol jumping atop moving trains, hailing slogans for India, talking about the tricolour, Pakistan, bombing and lots of ‘ayee’! What more can you possibly ask for?All in all, ‘Gadar 2’ supersedes expectations, as it successfully tugs at your heartstrings. And there’s Sunny Paaji to do all the heavy-lifting (pun intended). Hence, it would be safe to conclude that ‘Gadar 2’ ne kaafi gadar machayi hain!

Ratings:2.5/5 Review By: Renuka Site: Times Of India
What the film lacks is a solid premise. The sentiment stemming from loss of lives and brutal aftermath of the partition moved the audiences in the first film. The cross border love story and a tale of survival tugged at your heartstrings as it had a solid emotional core despite the provocative dialogues. The sequel struggles to leave you emotionally charged. Gadar 2 tries to cash in on the nostalgia factor, filmy dialoguebaazi and slowmo action scenes, without a story or purpose that can hold it all together.

Gadar 2 is perfect massy entertainer by Sunny Deol, and it is a must-watch on the big screens especially if you want to relive 2000s again. Barring a few things, the movie is quite an entertainer, going with 4 stars.

Gadar 2 has so many faults that it will take a long time to list them all. But the film uses sheer emotion and some smart packaging to plaster over them. It plays to the gallery by infusing some seetimaar dialogues. The number of whistleworthy moments in the film is quite high and one is bound to see videos of people dancing and cheering in the halls in the days to come.

What got everyone pumped is the chant ‘Hindustan Zindabad.’ Nostalgia plays a huge role in Gadar 2. It feels good to see the characters back again. It is a good watch.. Even when the story might be quite similar to Gadar 1, its sequel has gained everyone’s attention

Gadar 2 is exactly in the same mould as the original, with the high-on-patriotism Tara Singh going on a rampage in Pakistan again, this time to rescue his strapping son (Sharma) from the clutches of the cruel Major General Hamid Iqbal (Wadhwa). So here’s the thing: why would we want to watch a reprise unless it offers us something more?

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Hungama Site: Bollywood Hungama
Shaktimaan’s story has all the trappings of a commercial entertainer and is apt for the sequel of a historic blockbuster like GADAR – EK PREM KATHA [2001]. Shaktimaan’s screenplay is decent. He has peppered the narrative with mass scenes. But in several places, it’s unimaginative. Shaktimaan’s dialogues are clapworthy in certain scenes.On the whole, GADAR 2 works big time due to a strong franchise value, the right release period, and a narrative that instills patriotism. At the box office, it will open huge and break records in the mass belts. The holidays in Week One will help the movie rake in huge moolah.
