Cinegoers, Indians, countrymen, there is no simple way to show how we love our country. Twenty years ago, two iconic Bollywood films tried it. At the turn of the millenium, Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha exploded onto the Indian movie screens and the Bollywood box office, and rooted themselves in the soil of pop culture history.

The plot revolves around the life of a Sikh truck driver in India, Tara Singh, who falls in love with a Muslim girl, Sakeena, who comes from an aristocratic family with political connections in Pakistan. Such was the influence of these films that today, a sprinkle of a si...

The opening sequences of the film are unblemished, and the way the director (Anil Sharma) depicted the sorrows of the Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims during the partition without showing any preference for one group over another was something that was genuinely lacking in the earlier films, based on partition.
