Gadar 2 song affirms movie plot

Gadar 2 was said to be taking place a few years after the events of the first film which took place during the partition. It was said that the sequel will be tracing Tara Singh's journey as he goes to Pakistan to rescue his son Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma). The plot of the film is essentially affirmed in Khairiyat.

In it, we see an emotional Tara Singh en route to Pakistan in search of his estranged son. Jeete is all grown up but is on the other side of the border. The emotional lyrics of the song find meaning in Arijit's soulful voice. The song beautifully captures the pain od separation and the grit to get the loved one back from a perilous situation. We see the emotional side of Tara Singh and Sakina as they long for their son.
