In Gadar 2, Tara Singh has to cross the border again to save her son Charanjeet (“Jeete”) from danger when the Pakistani army puts pressure on him.
The film makes use of many elements reminiscent of the first part: from action scenes, tension, family emotions, to old songs being reused to create a sense of nostalgia.

Patriotic and family elements are promoted, with emotional climaxes.
Cons:
The plot is somewhat repetitive or predictable if you are used to the nostalgic Bollywood style.
Some new or supporting characters are not developed deeply enough to make a strong impression. The film is long, with some weak parts, and needs to be edited to make the film flow better.
