15 years ago to the date, history was made in Bollywood with the release of the political drama Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. On June 15, 2001 the Sunny Deol – Amisha Patel starrer was released and the fan frenzy of the film surpassed everyone’s expectations.
This film, based on the India-Pakistan partition, went on to become a cult film in Bollywood. Gadar not only opened to an unprecedented response but eventually created hysteria nationwide! But truth be told, it was not a smooth ride for makers of the movie as at one point distributors had refused to pay the quoted amount for the film’s distribution. However after a lot of struggle the movie’s high on emotion storyline coupled with Sunny Deol’s spine chilling performance made this movie a runaway hit at the box office. Gadar became the highest grossing film of all time even breaking the long held records of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.
