The Filmy Charcha Review Of Gadar 2
Ratings: ⭐️⭐️ and a half stars
Review: The magic of the silver screen is that it can transport you to another time and place. In the case of Gadar 2, it does just that – taking its audience back to the 90s. But, i’m saying this in a negative tone. It’s evident from the get-go that this movie isn’t catered to the Netflix-binging, avant-garde consuming audience of today. Instead, it’s a nod to the golden era of Bollywood, when dramatic storylines, and larger-than-life characters reigned supreme. In terms of pacing, the movie starts off at a languorous tempo.
The first half might induce a yawn or two, but hold on, because the action picks up in the latter half. While it does build some momentum, one can’t help but feel that the start was a missed opportunity. When it comes to performances, the limelight undeniably goes to Utkarsh Sharma. While Sunny Deol, a household name, brings his usual gusto to the table, it is Sharma who emerges as a pleasant surprise. On the other hand, Ameesha Patel, much to the chagrin of her fans, is largely reduced to a teary-eyed damsel. Simrat Kaur adds to the roster with a commendable effort, while Manish Wadhwa dives deep into his villainous role. Though he doesn’t quite touch the benchmark set by Amrish Puri.
Overall, Gadar 2 is a nostalgic roller-coaster, paying homage to a bygone era of Indian cinema. Yet, in its quest to recapture the magic, it stumbles. It feels like a missed chance, especially given the legacy of the original film. While it won’t resonate with everyone, for those who have a soft spot for the 90s, this might just be a trip worth taking, if only to witness the emergence of Utkarsh Sharma as a potential torchbearer for mainstream Hindi cinema.
