Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (Translation: Revolt: A Love Story) is a 2001 Indian period action drama film, starring Sunny Deol, Amisha Patel, and Amrish Puri, set in the time of the Partition of India in 1947. Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was a box office phenomenon and sold more tickets at theatres in India than any film in history apart from Sholay (1975). When Gadar was released on 15 June 2001, producer for Zee Telefilms, Nitin Keni, director Anil Sharma, lead star Sunny Deol, assorted trade pundits, and seasoned film critics had no idea that the film, which was set during a turbulent time in modern Indian history, would create box-office history. Gadar clashed with Aamir Khan's Lagaan at the box office. Made for ₹185 million (US$2.7 million), Gadar has made more than ₹600 million (US$8.9 million) and after its theatrical run, was commercially one of the most successful movies in India when it was released. It is in list of "One of the Biggest Blockbusters in Hindi Cinema". Gadar: Ek Prem Katha is the most watched Hindi film in India as it recorded 5.05 crore footfalls in India. The shy role of Sunny Deol was admired and led to the Filmfare nomination for the best actor.
The story of this film is loosely based on the life of Boota Singh.
Set in 1947, during the Partition of India, the film tells the story of a truck driver, Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), a Sikh, who falls in love with a Muslim girl, Sakina (Amisha Patel), belonging to an aristocratic family.
