For me and a lot of others my age, “Gadar” holds a special place in our hearts. It was one of the first movies we ever watched in the theater, and it left a lasting impression on us. We were able to see the story unfold on the big screen for the first time, and it was an experience that we’ll never forget. I think a lot of people my age can relate to this, as it was one of the first films that many of us watched in a cinema hall or “talkies” as we used to call it back then. It’s a classic film that still resonates with us today and holds a special place in our memories.
