If you are feeling that the week of Independence Day is going on, tricolors are flying everywhere, there is a wind of patriotism, then in such a situation even the filmmakers will release only films wrapped in the spice of patriotism, then wait a minute, because the filmmakers For any such opportunity is only and only to earn profit for themselves by redeeming the emotions of the audience. To solve the tangled threads of the mathematics of the film business, often the filmmakers try to release such films on some big occasions of the year, whose taste is according to the prevailing wind on those days, so that the audience can connect with them. This is the reason that on the occasion of Diwali and Christmas, there are more such fun-filled films which can be seen with the family, because on these occasions people like to go to theaters with the whole family during the holidays. Similarly, 26 January and 15 August are considered favorable for films dealing with issues related to the country.
Craze of audience regarding Gadar 2
However, it is not necessary that patriotic films will be successful only on these occasions or they should appear only on these two occasions. But there is definitely such an effort of the filmmakers that according to the flavor of their film, the opportunity of its release should be decided. As far as 15th August is concerned, conspiracies to make the most of this occasion have started since some time, otherwise a film like ‘Sholay’ would not have been released on 15th August, 1975. Anyway, a good cinema which is patriotic or talks about the country is rarely made here. This year, on this occasion, a spicy film ‘Gadar 2’ has come, which is the next part of ‘Gadar’ released in 2001. Although the original film was the story of the separation and reunion of a husband and wife in the backdrop of the partition of India-Pakistan, but the scenes of the hero Sunny Deol’s slogans of Hindustan Zindabad and beating the people of Pakistan had brought a lot of boil in the audience. Coincidentally, this film released in the hot summer of 2001, along with Aamir Khan’s ‘Lagaan’, which ignited the patriotism on the pretext of playing cricket. Now ‘Gadar 2’ has a background of 1971 and in the current environment of the country, there is a strong temper of nationalism. However, Akshay Kumar’s ‘OMG 2’ released with this has nothing to do with patriotism.
These movies have been released on the occasion of August 15
‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’, ‘God Tussi Great Ho’ released on this occasion in 2008, ‘Kaminey’ in 2009 or ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobara’ in 2013 had nothing to do with it. Rather this film was showing the story of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. ‘Brothers’ in 2015, ‘Mohenjo Daro’ in 2016, ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ in 2016 were also not films on the occasion of August 15. But in the meantime, ‘Rustom’ in 2016, ‘Gold’ in 2018, ‘Satyamev Jayate’, ‘Batla House’ in 2019, ‘Mission Mangal’ were talking about the country from one angle or the other. In fact, every year some films talking about patriotism or the country are made and those who make them try to release them around August 15, because during this time the fever of patriotism is raging among the countrymen.
‘Gadar 2’ and OMG 2
In the year 2012, Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was released in which Salman became an Indian intelligence agent. Coming of Eid on this occasion and five days after it was a very profitable deal for this film. By the way, there is a truth of the film business that whether it is August 15 or Holi-Diwali, every holiday is just an opportunity for the filmmakers to gather more and more crowd at the box-office. Now whether that crowd gathers because of Sunny Deol of ‘Gadar 2’ or Akshay Kumar of ‘OMG 2’.
