The film is a noir gangster film, which also revolves around the family succession drama.

Patriotic drama, comic caper, gangster thriller, it is quite a choice for the audience on August 11, but the big question is who will be the one laughing all the way to the bank. Will Akshay finally break his box-office jinx? Can Sunny reprise the success of the original Gadar? And, is Ranbir set to continue his honeymoon with the audience?
Interestingly, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha clashed with Aamir Khan's Lagaan, and despite both being period dramas, the two films did incredibly well at the box office.
