sid-coolking Now that's truly a performance worthy a national award and from direction till the screenplay, every department is ruled by the respective persons involved...Ajay till Sushant every actor lived the role as if they themselves were the real life characters...Direction by Rajkumar Santoshi is exemplary and his piece of work is evident in his past films alongside makes him the perfect master to make the film...One of the best Bhagat Singh Biopic ever made in Bollywood and it's at par with Manoj Kumar's Shaheed...A diamond classic!!

prabhu-god The legacy of Bhagat Singh told in a fine way, the movie is a benchmark, its very very different from the normal stereotype movies, which goes ga ga on Ghandhi and depicts That the Freedom struggle and the independence movement has everything to do with Gandhi alone. The movie shows the love for the country by this youth, who quits Education, family, relationships, marriage, money, fame & kisses death @ the age of 23 & shows Ghandhi in true colors, a well established leader who has great powers & influence, but who fails to save the 3 youths Bagat, Rajguru and Sukhdev for his political gains and ideologies The movie starts with child Bhagat, who witnesses the autocrats of Britishers.. he grows up in the patriotic atmosphere as his parents and uncle take part in active freedom struggles, As a Kid, Bhagat is a great follower of Ghandi, his principals and follows him.@ the age of 12 he witnesses the Jalianwala Bagh massacre & gets highly disturbed by it The movie than switches to a young Bhagat(Ajay) in college silent yet furious in thoughts ..he joins the HRA(later known as Hindustan Socialist Republican Association) He quits Religion, adapts Atheism & communism ideologies, Walks away from home as his father arrange marriage for him.. with the death of the top leaders of HRA, he jumps in to action and takes the party forward, For taking revenge of Lala Lajpat Rai's death he and other revolutionaries plot Saunders murder and execute it, he becomes wanted by British govt @ that time he throws bomb in the assembly, surrenders to police, so that he could make his voice reach to the general public via the prosecution process He is successful in it, the people start hearing to the views of the young and vibrant Bhagat Singh, whose demands and ideas are way ahead of Ghandi, when its about the people farmers, workers, traders, poor etc & The demand for total Independence above everything the current Indian leader Ghandi is forced to demand what Bhagat has demanded to sustain his image This is the historical movement, where Bhagat's popularity is parallel to that of Ghandhi if not above him. He becomes a threat to the British Govt He and his friends are executed on March 23, 1931, Bhagat Singh(23) Shivaram Rajguru(22), Sukhdev(23)These freedom fighters were forgotten by the main stream politicians(Ghandhi-Nehru)It is pity on our government who has tried to hide the reality from the generations after Independence. They have made our great heroes terrorists in School books so that coming generations should not have much interest in reading about them.His History in written in his own blood, a story of struggle, friendship, & One of the biggest betrayal by Ghandhi towards him and Indians

uncle_g1234 I saw this movie after I saw Rang De Basanti. It seems like the title of Rang De Basanti came from the song that Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru are marching to the gallows. Well, many things bothered me about Rang De Basanti. You have these young men with no purpose suddenly decide an assassination is their goal in life. That seemed so distasteful. So when the young men in The Legend devote themselves to revolution and moreover to removal of class distinctions, you at least feel they have some compass. The assassination they carry out follows a brutal massacre of numerous men women and children. The bombing is carried out in such a way to attract attention without killing or injuring. It is just a better feeling than I got in Rang De Basanti. In RDB, the female lead is highly distressed by the use to which her movie is put. The women in The Legend of Bhagat Singh are simply frightened by the danger their men are courting. In the end they understand the nobility of the cause.Anyway, this is just a much better movie. It does a good, and I think accurate, job of recreating some important Indian history. And the parts are well acted. That's why I rate it 9 out of 10.

abhi2023 As I preach that comments are and should be taken no more than personal opinion of an individual, I, right at the outset would say that GO, GET & WATCH this masterpiece. The director seems to have done his homework properly. Very realistic sets, appearance of characters. As far as story is concerned or better say truthfulness of the story is concerned, history poses as one of the toughest problem. There is no going back. The conflict between Gandhi's non-violence and Bhagat Singh's Tit for Tat philosophy is one of the most touching points of the movie. It eventually leads to execution of Bhagat Singh. How true is that? I am wondering and will always wonder with hope that either Gandhi or Bhagat Singh would come in my dreams and tell me what the truth was. But nevertheless, it is a great movie to watch which will stir emotions. Ajay as Bhgat Singh is brilliant. He is among the finest actors in India indubitably. The other character that impresses is Sushant Singh who makes an impact with his intense performance. All in all, all have done justice with their characters and fit well. Director did good home work and hence a movie that we should be proud of is out there on someone who is perhaps not internationally as famous as Gandhi but for sure was a great freedom fighter, real patriot and a great son of Mother India.
