Sunny Deol celebrates 25 years of 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'
Mumbai, June 15
Sunny Deol on Monday took a stroll down memory lane, recalling fond memories associated with his iconic film 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'.
Marking the film's 25th anniversary, Sunny on Instagram wrote, "25 Years Ago Gadar and Tara Singh conquered your hearts. 25 saal se pyaar ke rishte ki gaddi chall rahi aur aage bhi chalti hi rahegi. Thank you all for giving all of us 25 years of abundant love and making us stay in your hearts, hope we keep staying there."
Sunny also shared several stills from the blockbuster, taking the audience back to the early 2000s.
The romantic-action-thriller was directed by Anil Sharma. It starred Sunny alongside Ameesha Patel, and late Amrish Puri among others.
The film is among the biggest blockbusters. Centred around the partition, it depicted a beautiful love story between Tara Singh (Sunny Deol) and Sakina (Ameesha Patel). They both get married; however, things take a bitter turn as Sakina's father forces her to stay in Pakistan and separates her from her family.
A sequel to 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha', titled 'Gadar 2' was theatrically released on August 11, 2023. It also received a positive response from the audience.

Such an emotional film! The love story between Tara and Sakina touched hearts across borders. Sunny Deol's raw intensity and Ameesha's innocence were perfect. Glad the sequel also did well. Gadar 2 was a good return to form.
Sunny ji, aapne toh humesha entertaining rakha hai! Gadar ka that handpump scene is legendary. But honestly, the partition backdrop was handled quite sensitively for its time. 25 years of pure Indian cinema magic! 🚂🎥
Gadar was a game-changer for Bollywood. Amrish Puri as the villain was outstanding. Sunny Deol's dialogues became part of pop culture. But I wish the sequel had explored more depth instead of just action. Still, a timeless classic! 🎞️
Sunny Deol remains an icon! Gadar was a blockbuster for good reason - great music, emotional depth, and that unforgettable climax. I still tear up when the train scene happens. Pure nostalgia!
