Mass sectors and single screens are on a record-smashing spree… Unlike *most* films - which have major contribution from the national chains [#PVR, #INOX, #Cinepolis] and barely 20% to 30% from mass sectors - #Gadar2 is simply historic in mass pockets.
Now imagine its potential on #IndependenceDay big holiday [on Tue].
Before releasing the official teaser online, the makers of the film attached the teaser with 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' which was re-released in the theatres on June 9.
Gadar 2 is directed by Anil Sharma and features Sunny Deol, and Ameesha Patel reprising their roles of Tara Singh and Sakina. Utkarsh Sharma will be seen playing Deol's son Charanjeet. The film released in theatres on August 11 facing Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 at the Box Office.
The storyline is set against the backdrop of the Crush India Movement of 1971 with Sunny Paaji aka Tara Singh heading to Pakistan to save his child, Charan Jeet Singh (played by Utkrash Sharma) from the neighbouring country's Army.
