4.0 out of 5 stars Great film. Will leave you crying at the end 13 Jan 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent depiction of the life of Bhagat Singh. It is close to what happened to him in real life, and the only part I was not convinced was his potential relationship with a village girl (as depicted) but this is expected as Bollywood loves to distort the truth.

There are several memorable scenes, and really helps to open up the whole argument of who saved India from the British, and that this was never sloly in the hands of Mahatma Gandhi.

I would have given this 5 out of 5, but the reason for the lower marking is because of the extremely dodgy English accents depicted by the British in the film. They are clearly not English, and stand somewhere between South African and Australian, but I can't quite make where exactly.

For me, the highlights include the scenes at the beginning of the film, the prison scenes, court scenes and the end of the film (including Chandrashekhar Azad's scene).

A pity they did not expand more on the religious issues at the time, and the significance of people like Al Jinnah, as this would have been relevant also since Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs were very much united under the British.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Legend Of Bhagat Singh 14 April 2009
Format:DVD
From time to time,it is hard to fathom,but the Bollywood film industry does knock out a good film that is far from the usual plethora of singing and dancing ad nausea that is constantly rammed down the throats of the movie viewer!.Albeit some errors that go almost go hand in hand in Indian cinema,this movie surpasses the requirements of most viewers, who are left entertained and indeed educated in a sector of Indian history that is not usually advertised to any great extent.This film advertises that fact with the uttmost gusto, but coming from a country who's film making is somewhat open to ridicule,this effect has sadly entered this film too. Packed with a plethora of howlers, the movie will become certainly "nit picked" by historians who will find many howlers throughout.The best cock up is the scene where the governer general is addressing a member of staff.Immediately behind is a huge portrait of Queen Elizabeth 2nd in full regalia.Funny....I am sure the queen ascended to the throne in 1952 and not 1931, the year this film is based!. Furthermore, why oh why are the white European actors in this(and practically all other Hindi films) speak with a very unusual accent that seems to be a mixture of South African with a tinge of Australian?. I have yet to meet someone who exhibits this phenomenan!.
Anyway then, appart from the usual annomalies associated with Hindi films, this one is well above average and does pay homage to a freedom fighter that needs far more publicity than what has already been granted to him.

I really wanted to own a copy of this film as enjoyed it alot from watching it on cinema, but when I opened the packet the dvd and cover is poor quality. It looks like one of those dvds you can get for a £1 from the market.
