Indian Film📽 and Patriotism 🇮🇳

Before I start my blog, wishing all the readers Happy Independence Day. As we have watched many Patriotic films, Border is still our favorite on 15th August every TV channel stream Border. But my question is Why?? Firstly, Border is mainly based on 1971 war between India and Pakistan. Secondly, we got Independence from British Raj. However today I am blogging about films which was based on Pre Independence and First war of Independence.

4. Syeraa Narsimha Reddy

Syeraa Narsimha Reddy film released last year, Magnum Opus in South Film Industry and it Pan Indian Film. The film took almost 2 – 3 years to complete. Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi, Vijay Sethupathi, Tammanah and many other actors are part of this film. The film is based on Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy’s as the emperor of the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, it’s a heroic tale from the mid-18th century. However I got to know about Narsimha Reddy, people hardly talk about he’s one of the Unsung hero.

3. Manikarnika.

Manikarnika is a Biopic on Rani Lakshmi Bai and even know as Jhansi ki Rani. The film was based on the scenario of first war of Independence 1857 between Marathas and Britishers. It’s a first ever Magnum Opus where Female is a main lead, the film became a part of many controversy. The film also portrays the sacrifice of Rani Lakshmi Bai. Interesting fact is that the film is directed by Kangana Ranaut herself.

2. The Legends of Bhagat Singh.

One of the Best Performance in Ajay Devgn’s filmy career. The Legend of Bhagat Singh is based on as it is already mentioned in the title i.e Bhagat Singh. We know that Bhagat Singh belongs from Punjab and he died at the age of 23 along with his friend Sukhdev and Rajguru in the very small age, Bhagat Singh gathered many supporters to fight against British. Despite of good plot the film was Box Office flop but the film helped Ajay Devgn to win national award.

1. Chittagong.

Master Da Surya sen who fought till his last breath. Chittagong is based on Chittagong war where number of teenagers fought against Britishers even females were part of the war, Pritilata wadedar is the biggest prove. The film has a stellar cast like Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddique, Jaideep Ahlawat, Rajkumar Rao and many more. The film is treat to watch.

It ends here we shouldn’t forget the sacrifice our freedom fighters did for us and we should celebrate this day everyday. Vande Matram 🇮🇳
