Piyush Kanwar

All in all, a must watch. First of all the poster of movie sunny deol carrying an axe looks totally copied from Kgf 2 yash posing with his infamous axe not really impressed with gadar two Everything in Gadar 2 is exactly as it was in the film that it is a follow-up to. The Pakistani general hurls a challenge at Tara Singh that harks back to the latter's handpump wielding avatar that has remained etched in the minds of Hindi movie fans When Tara Singh aims hammer blows at the men in his way, his dhaai kilo ka haath inevitably comes into play and makes the weapon much more powerful than it would be in lesser hands. For all this to work, the audience has to be in tune with Bollywood storytelling codes of an era long gone Not to forget, the handpump does make an appearance in the film but stays rooted to the ground this time around.Much water has flown down the Beas and Chenab in the past two decades, but the dread of Tara Singh's prowess still persists marauding bunch of bloodthirsty, sword-wielding men chases him. But they freeze when they spot a handpump. It is within Tara's reach and they know what he can do with it. He does not even have to pull it out. The mob, suitably petrified, beats a hasty retreat.These action high points are all reserved for the second half. The first half of the nearly three-hour film is devoted to setting up the big, extended showdown in Lahore that is to come. Sunny Deol fills up the screen, does a good job of hollering and hectoring, be it in anger or despair, and the Pakistanis who are in pursuit have a healthy respect for the havoc Sakeena is distraught. Her son decides to act. Assuming a fake identity, Jeete reaches Lahore to look for his father. Another love story begins to take shape when he meets Muskaan Khan (Simrat Kaur), daughter of a man in whose household he finds employment as a cook. Like Jeete, Muskaan is a Hindi movie enthusiast. She is an inveterate Rajesh Khanna fanGadar 2 loses no opportunity to play up the us-versus-them binary, with the guys across the border generally coming across as fiends without human feelings. But occasionally, in a perfunctory balancing act, the film develops the sense to throw in a stray benefactor here and a do-gooder there as the father and son pair try to get out of Pakistan in one piece. Gadar 2 is strictly for three categories of people: Sunny Deol fans, Sunny deol fans and Sunny deol fans
