One of the Best Indian (Hindi) movies, 15 June 2003
8/10
Author: Herag Halli from Heraganahalli, India

If there is one movie that I would pick as the overallone of the best movies that the Indian Film Industry has produced, it has to be "Gadar-Ek Prem Katha." It is very sweeping statement to make, but I make it with conviction. The best movies are either fiction (Shawshank Redemption)or a portrayal of an event that left indellible scars and memories that is left for generations to cope with. There were two people who put this masterpiece of a movie together, Anil Sharma and Nitin Keni, not necessarily popular names like Satyajit Ray and Raj Kapoor, but the sheer brilliance of the production, the reconstruction of the authenticity of the period,reminds me of David Lean production. It is difficult to relive a part of the history that should be long forgotten,but to recreate this history is the genius of the director, in this case Anil Sharma. Sunny Deol as the (Tara Singh) is a performance of a life time for this actor whose talent been underestimated. No one in Indian Cinema could portray the raw emotions and bring a certain velocity to the character and the screen.He is matched by another thespian Amrish Puri, who is a Volcano of talent. A new comer by the name of Amisha Patel, who gives a soulful, sobbing, stellar performance. She has subtlety and depth to her gaze and a feminity of emotion that she brings to this character. Overall this is a masterpiece that will be tough to be outdone. Movies like Devdas, Laggan, Monsoon Wedding, are mere appetisers in the menu of Indian Cinema but "Gadar Ek Prem katha' is the Main course or the Gourmet of Indian Cinema.
