New Delhi: Even as the much-anticipated 'Gadar 2', a sequel to the blockbuster Sunny Deol starrer 'Gadar', is weaving its magic across big screens all over the country, hundreds of villagers in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district on Sunday came to a movie theatre, riding on their tractors, to watch the film.

The craze and euphoria demonstrated by them as they fetched up to the theatre in tractors left fellow cinemagoers in awe.

Before arriving at the theatre, the villagers had taken out a tractor rally from the main marketplace of Bhilwara. With posters of 'Gadar 2' adorning their tractors, the villagers chanted "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".

In 2001, I had heard stories of people visiting the cinema halls in trucks and tractors to watch #SunnyDeol in #Gadar. 22 years later, the craze is intact for #Gadar2.#Gadar2KaAsliReview #Gadar2Review #AmeeshaPatel #TaraSingh #SunnyDeol pic.twitter.com/KoyC0lO8WB

Not just in cities but also in villages, the response to this film has been phenomenal. I would urge everyone to watch this film with their families. It's a wholesome entertainer that also fills one with national pride."

A romantic-action drama set against the backdrop of the Partition of India, 'Gadar' was directed by Anil Sharma. Sunny Deol played the protagonist Tara Singh, a Sikh truck driver from Amritsar who falls for Sakina (played by Ameesha), a Muslim girl from a Pakistani political family in Lahore.
