Gadar Macha Diya! The Success of Gadar 2
Gadar 2 follows Tara Singh as he embarks on a perilous journey across the border to rescue his son, played by Utkarsh Sharma, who got captured in Pakistan. Set in Lahore in 1971, Gadar 2 delivers on thrilling action sequences of its prequel while portraying the unwavering anger of Tara Singh towards those who incite hatred between India and Pakistan.
