Sharing her thoughts, the actress wrote, “GADAR is completing 25 years on June 15th. Very proud to feel that till date it’s the No. 1 film with the highest footfalls compared to any other film in Indian history. The Gadar brand, in total, has had 8.5 crore footfalls, beating the amazing Dhurandhar, which had 7.5 crore footfalls in total.”
In another post, Ameesha Patel expressed gratitude to fans for keeping the franchise alive over the years.
“Very blessed to have such love from all the fans till date to keep the Gadar brand as the No. 1 brand in Indian history. Thank you, Box Office India, for all the updates related to the footfalls of our brand. Tara and Sakina shall shine once again very soon,” she wrote.
Over the years, Gadar has remained a cultural phenomenon, with its emotional story, patriotic themes and powerful performances continuing to resonate with audiences.
In an earlier interview with SCREEN, director Anil Sharma reflected on the film’s historic success.
“When I was making Gadar, I knew it would become India’s Titanic, and it did. When the ticket sales figures came out, we learned that its ticket sales had even surpassed Titanic. Such was its footfall. Even today, it is said that Gadar recorded the highest ticket sales and footfalls ever seen by a film in India,” he said.
The filmmaker added, “We’ve had bigger filmmakers in our industry, but it is God’s blessing that my film created such a record. The magic remains the same even today whenever it airs on television.”
Released alongside Aamir Khan’s Lagaan, Gadar emerged as a box-office juggernaut, proving that there was enough room for two cinematic giants to thrive simultaneously. 25 years later, both films continue to be celebrated as landmarks in Indian cinema.
