Performances
- Sunny Deol's performance as Tara Singh, undoubtedly, stands out. Be it the passionate Tara Singh or the lover Tara Singh. Sunny Deol looks very romantic even in Umarkesh Padav and his screen presence with Ameesha Patel is very good.
- Utkarsh Sharma's work is also very good. Jeetey was loved as a child actor and has now done a great job as a hero
- Manish Wadhwa has replaced Amrish Puri in this film, although the character is different but it is not easy for him to fit in the late actor's shoes.
- Simrat Kaur marks her Bollywood debut with Gadar 2 and looks stunning as Muskaan.
Highlights
- If Gadar was Ramayana then Gadar 2 is Mahabharata.
- The first half is a game of emotion, while the second half is full of action.
- Tara and Sakeena's love seems to be on the rise and the chemistry of both is looking very cute.
- Apart from both the old songs 'Ud Ja Kale Kava' and 'Main Nikla Gaddi Leke', 'Khairiyat' is also soothing.
- The film's fast-paced dialogues win people's hearts. Whether it is the slogan of Hindustan Zindabad or Tara Singh's saying that if desire is more than status then there is no need of enemies for destruction. You will get to hear many such dialogues in films.
Lackings
- The length of the film might bother the audience.
- The first half is a bit chill which fills in the second half.
- Apart from Sunny Deol, the styling of all the other characters looks a bit old.
