Gadar 2

Never mind the 200 toffee-nosed critics who will tell you that this film is crass, outdated, loud, etc etc … Gadar 2 is the best extraction thriller I’ve seen in ages. Sunny Deol is a far more convincing extractioner than Chris Hemsworth.

He is tired of being tagged as an action filmmaker and now wants to try his hand at romantic comedies. “I started my career with an emotional film, Shraddhanjali, moved to Hukumat, and post its super success, suddenly became this ‘dhishum-dhishum’ (fighting) director. But I’ve had enough ‘maar-dhaad’ for now.
