In a candid chat with Hindustan Times, the actor reflects on how Indian cinema is going back to its core strength of focusing on what is local and cultural, something that Western audiences want to see.

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

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.
