Freedom Struggle Stories In Bollywood Movies

http://www.businessofcinema.com/boc/images/ajay_devgan1.jpg
Ever thought how it was all around when ears heard only one sound - sound of rebellion. When youth came on the street and walked on undeterred by bullets or batons. When martinets were made to pay for their every harsh move. When a flimsy man with a spinning wheel and a stick stirred the depraved conscience of millions, the picture of the freedom struggle would have always appeared blur in your mind. However, thanks to Bollywood movies, which treasured precious moments of Indian history.

Bollywood always faired well on the ground of patriotism. It has always given its voice to the ideals of the freedom movements. The credit of making movies based on the freedom struggle goes one Stalwarts of Bollywood - Manoj Kumar. His spectacular performance in the movie 'Shaheed' which was released in the year 1965 depicted many shades of Bhagat Singh.t made viewers to shed tears of both joy and sorrow to watch their hero fight valiantly for the mother India and finally dissolving in it. Several years later, Bhagat Singh re visited the silver screen in the movies The Legend of Bhagat Singh and 23rd March 1931 to tell his people again that he did his bit by sacrificing his life so that no one jeopardizes it again.
The movie Rang De Basanti which was released in the air 2006 presented an interesting concoction of two epochs. The story revolved around different individuals and their aspirations. In it an endeavor was made to compare and contrast the lives of the characters to show that they still amongst us and are in the middle of some identity crisis. The movie also threw some light on the falling standards of the youth where the characters were shown guzzling down beer down their throats and forgetting the contribution made by the freedom fighters in their frivolity. These movies also allowed the viewers to pry into the lives of Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqulla Khan.

The iron willed Mahatma Gandhi was often presented in several movies sporting his trade mark smile and kind demeanor. His portrayal in the movie 'Gandhi' starring 'Ben Kingsley' won plaudits for his impeccable storyline and a resplendent performance given by Ben . He appeared again much after his death to do what he did the best. In the era of freedom struggle he guided India to freedom. Even this time in the movie 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' he did the same by rescuing some troubled minds including the protagonist's mind's from inner fetters of ego, superstitions etc.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc.
