A Visit to a Cinema Show 



Last Sunday, I happened to visit Plaza theatre where Shaheed Bhagat Singh was being screened. As I saw the posters pasted on the wall outside the theatre, my craze to watch this movie increased all the more. The posters showed Bhagat Singh in many moods, sometimes in prison and sometimes kissing the gallows. I purchased a ticket and entered the cinema hall. When I entered, the newsreel was being shown. Soon the movie started. From the very beginning to the end, the film was lively, inspiring, and thought-provoking. Bhagat Singh, the great martyr of India, was shown in his most buoyant moods, performing heroic deeds and playing courageous roles. How he faced the tyranny and cruelty of the British government, is really a story of agony. But his unalloyed patriotism withstood all the cruelties and tortures of the Britishers. In the film, Bhagat Singh has been portrayed as a strong and staunch nationalist for whom the freedom of motherland was the mission of his life. The cruelties of the British regime were borne by Bhagat Singh and his friends-Rajguru and Sukhdev. While in prison, he was shown as a free and fearless son of India, determined to undergo all the troubles, trials, and tortures, in order to liberate his motherland. Towards the end, Bhagat Singh along with Sukhdev and Rajguru has sentenced to death. All three sons of India were hanged.
