On Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev's martyrdom day we pay our tributes to the brave sons of Mother India and take a look at the inspiration they have been for Bollywood.
As India remembers freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, known to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of our independence movement, on his 107th birth anniversary, we bring you a few slides on how Bollywood has etched him on the silver screen.
One of the early films based on the life of Bhagat Singh was Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh. The film released in 1954 was directed by Jagdish Gautam and had Prem Abeed, Jairaj, Smriti Biswas and Ashita Mazumdar playing lead roles.
Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's innovative presentation of the life and times of Bhagat Singh with a contemporary context struck the right chords with the audiences.
