Although the war film featured a star-studded cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Bobby Deol, and Akshay Kumar, it underperformed at the box office. Anil Sharma recently commented on Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathiyo’s failure, sharing what he felt led to the outcome. He maintained that the movie failed to resonate with the audience because of its portrayal of the Indian and Pakistani armies working together. The director claimed he crafted the story in this manner in response to previous criticisms that his films were jingoistic, ruing he became ‘too secular’ while making the film that led to its box office failure.

Speaking to NDTV, Imtiaz Ali said, “Acting is not like boxing. It’s not a competition. People act with each other, and not against each other. Both the actors are being praised. Some have liked Vedang’s work more, some have liked Sharvari more. But as a director, the scenes were really good when these two (Sharvari and Vedang) were together. I haven’t seen a better team of co-actors in my career. Sharvari and Vedang have been there for each other …

Ameesha Patel and Amrish Puri in a still from Gadar. ‘I was shivering’ Speaking to India Today, Ameesha said, “Oh, I miss Amrish ji tremendously. The scary part wasn’t because of him — he was a doll to work with. He was extremely witty, humorous, and had such an edgy sense of humour, something you would never guess from the kind of Mogambo and Ashraf Ali roles he had done.” Ameesha was just one film old in the industry when she began shooting for Gadar. When she first arrived on the film’s set, her opening scene was far from easy. She was immediately asked to shoot the emotionally charged post-interval confrontation scene opposite Amrish Puri, who played the role of her father in the …

25 years of Gadar: Bigger than Dhurandhar and RRR, Sunny Deol film would have broken all records had it released today

Published by Parlour News

15 June 2001 is a red-letter day for Indian cinema. Two big Hindi films released in theatres that day. This phenomenon is nothing new. There have been several ‘clashes’ at the box office over the decades that films have released in the country. But the two that clashed that day succeeded, not at the expense of each other but with each other. Long before Barbenheimer was a meme on the internet, Bollywood had its Gadar-Lagaan moment. Gadar remains one of the biggest Indian hits of the 21st century. And while Lagaan has enjoyed continued cultural relevance (and international acclaim), many forget that it was Gadar that was the bigger hit of the two. In fact, so obscene was Gadar’s success that translating it into today’s terms would yield almost unimaginable box office collections. As the Anil Sharma blockbuster completes 25 years, we take a look at the ‘gadar’ it would have created had it released in 2026. Gadar’s astounding box office records Directed by Anil Sharma and starring Sunny Deol in the middle of his …

Lagaan and Gadar Ek Prem Katha: 25 years later, have we become more violent? | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

It’s been 25 years since I saw Lagaan in a theatre in Chennai. I still vividly remember cheering and clapping as if I was watching a real cricket match and shedding tears when Bhuvan’s (Aamir Khan) rag-tag team of inexperienced villagers defeated the British team from the cantonment that rules over several villages in the region. Interestingly, on the same day that Lagaan released, that is the 15th of June 2001, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was also released in movie theatres. It was our own Barbenheimer moment when films starring two mainstream stars, Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol, released in theatres on the same day. Each film came with its own risks. Lagaan had a very unusual story that had never been explored on the big screen before. The film also had no recognisable stars or actors apart from Aamir Khan and veteran actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda. Gadar, a love story set in post-Partition India and Pakistan, had the colour palette and production values of 90’s Bollywood cinema and television. Its leading lady was a relative …
