GADAR 2 MOVIE PLOT AND SUMMARY
The story of the movie defines the traditional India-Pakistan conflict. It’s a story in the year 1954 when Hamid Iqbal, an army officer in the Pakistan army, is looking for revenge on the part of Tara Singh, who is responsible for the killing of his 40 soldiers on his way back from fleeing to India along with his wife Sakeena and the only son, Charanjeet Singh, “Jeet Singh.”. Sakeena’s father is brutally executed on charges of helping Tara Singh escape back to his country.
START
In 1971, when Tara Singh, happily residing with his family and functioning as a supplier for the Indian army with various categories of weapons, received a summons to the India-Pakistan border to furnish weapons to the Indian soldiers engaged in combat with the Pakistani army. Moreover, upon arrival at the border, Iqbal, Tara’s arch-enemy, identified and spotted him, issuing an immediate attack order that inflicted numerous injuries upon Indian soldiers present there.
But Jeete, hearing the news of his father’s disappearance at the border, leaves for Pakistan to find him there. In Pakistan for the very first time, Jeete meets his father’s friend Gul Khan and comes to know that his father is now captured. Iqbal uses his tactics of violence and brutality to humiliate Jeete in front of all the people. Furthermore, Tara comes out, defeats Iqbal and his army, and takes his son away.
General Yahya Khan orders Iqbal to recapture Tara Singh within the 72-hour deadline. Then a sudden series of skirmishes and combat follows, and Qurban Khan and Muskan show up to hide in Balochistan. The next day, in another brutal fight between Iqbal and Tara, Iqbal manages to kill Muskan’s brother, Farid. Finally, after blood-shedding combat, Tara crosses the Indian border successfully after defeating the Pakistani soldiers and becomes the reason for their reunion when Muskan and Sakeena meetup again.
INTERVAL
The capture of Tara by the Pakistani army on the border marks the interval of the movie. However, this is the point where the main setting shifts from India to Pakistan, introducing Sakeena’s family from Pakistan and Tara’s friend Gul Khan. Tara’s son Jeete, for the first time, visits Pakistan and meets his father’s friend Gul Khan. But as he begins to search for his father, he faces their arch-enemy army officer, Iqbal, who is full of vengeance to take all of their lives and tries to accuse Jeete of assaulting Muskan to humiliate Jeete publicly.
Eventually, Tara Singh comes out and begins a new era of resilience and fighting, as he once did in the past. But he tries to cover up things and maintain the safety of the Pathan family. Which is directly in a close relationship with the Singh family of India. But Gul Khan and Muskan put all their effort into helping them get out of the border safely from the hands of Iqbal, an army officer. On the orders of General Yaya Khan, situations become tough for Tara Singh. But his courageous mentality eventually helps him come out of all the disastrous situations.
ENDING OF GADAR 2
The ending of the story is quite emotional and amusing in all ways. After hard-fought efforts to escape from the Pakistani military and their continuous chase, of course. It was a pleasure for the whole Singh family to celebrate their victory over the Pakistani military. Moreover, the story follows that after General Yahya’s order for Tara Singh’s recapture in 72 hours. The whole Pakistani military tried to recapture him by ambushing him from all around and asking for surrender.
Tara doesn’t lose hope and keeps fighting to protect not just his son but the family of Sakina, Muskan, and Gul Khan as well. Muskan’s brother loses his life. Moreover, in combat, Tara manages to get an army tank from the Pakistani army. He drives the tank back to the Indian border, where the Indian army completely retaliates with the chasing Pakistan army behind Tara Singh.
