A love story between a husband and wife, a son and his mom, his dad. Gadar was not a hit because of the India-Pakistan angle, it was a hit because of the emotions involved. A child wants his dad to bring his mom back. The filmmaker also said that the India-Pakistan sentiment may have been an important part, but not the only factor to make Gadar Ek Prem Katha a hit. But few things are beyond science," he added. Logic is a very materialistic thing, that involves mathematics and science. These do not fall under any definition of logic (but they do happen). "People lay down their lives for their country, a mother may do so for her child, or lovers sacrifice their lives for their loved ones. There are no definitions for emotions and that scene was about the emotional outburst." But for emotions, two and two can make five, or, even ten. But they believe in logic, they believe two and two make four. I do not say intellectual people are not emotional, they are. Most intellectuals felt it was too far-fetched. Many intellectuals do not understand this as they believe in working on logic alone."Īnil further elaborated about the sequence and said, "Not many people agreed with the scene when it was written. It (the scene) was a creative liberty we took, and every person sitting in the theatre watching Gadar Ek Prem Katha related with the emotions and clapped for the sequence. We believe (in Hanuman's deeds) as we are emotionally involved. He added, "When people asked me how can it be possible, I told them, 'When Lakshman needed sanjeevani (herb) in Ramayan, Hanuman picked up the entire mountain.' Tara Singh may not be Hanuman but he can uproot a hand pump. It was not just about uprooting the handpump, it was an outburst of emotions. So, I decided to put the handpump in the scene. Filmmaker Anil told Hindustan Times in an exclusive chat, "When I was writing the scene, I felt like throwing the entire building on Amrish Puri (his character, Ashraf Ali). One of the most iconic scenes is the one where Sunny Deol uproots a hand pump in anger during a face-off with Amrish Puri. The film, however, received mixed reviews at the time. Sunny Deol, along with Amrish Puri and Ameesha Patel, featured in Gadar Ek Prem Katha, that released on June 15 and was widely loved by the audience. Talking about the film and remembering the iconic sequence in which Sunny Deol uprooted a hand pump, the filmmaker said that intellectuals failed to understand it. Director Anil Sharma got nostalgic as his 2001 film Gadar Ek Prem Katha turns 20 on Tuesday.
