Shaheed

Shaheed (1965) - 100%

Manoj Kumar's Excellent Act Combined With Top-Notch Filmmaking, That's "Shaheed" For You... As A History Buff, I Love Reading & Knowing More About The Lives Of Legendary Revolutioners Like Sardar Bhagat Singh, Sardar Udham Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad & So On... I Feel The Best Film Made On Bhagat Singh Is The Legend Of Bhagat Singh Starring Ajay Devgn, But After Watching This One, I Am Confused As Which Is The Best? Well, Let's Leave That Discussion For Now... Talking About The Film, I Must Say That It Succeeds In Giving Justice To Not Only Bhagat Singh, But Also Sukhdev & Rajguru Played By Prem Chopra & Anant Marathe, Respectively... Also The Cinematography Is Simply Ahead Of Times, Editing Is Crisp & Songs Successfully Ignite The Feeling Of Patriotism In Your Heart... MUST WATCH!

Shaheed is a patriotic film directed by Late S. Ram Sharma and starring Manoj Kumar, Kamini Kaushal, Late Pran, late Iftekhar, Late Nirupa Roy, Prem Chopra, Late Anant Marathe, Late Madan Puri and Late Anwar Hussain.

The film is based on the life of one of the greatest freedom fighters of India great martyr Bhagat Singh.

I haven't seen such a beautiful portrayal of the life of the great Bhagat Singh. The film has one one of the brilliant cast who had portrayed their roles with utmost perfection and authenticity. Everything in the film looked very authentic and real.

The acting is superb and as mentioned everyone was perfect in their respective roles be it Manoj Kumar, Prem Chopra or the greatest versatile actor of Indian film industry the legend Pran sahab.

Music of the film was melodious and is still very popular, the screenplay is gripping. The film ends with an emotional climax.

A must watch film and one of the greatest films ever produced in the history of Indian cinema.

What can I say, this is the ultimate patriotic movie. The story revolves around India's favourite patriot Bhagat Singh. Manoj Kumar has made very detailed life of Bhagat. The script,the acting of all the cast is superb especially by Pran as the prisoner.

I was twelve the first time I saw this film and I recently watched it again. I thought it has stood the test of time.

The songs are absolutely brilliant and at times very emotional and you felt part of the freedom fighters. Songs like 'Pagri Sambal Jatta','Rang de basanti chola'and'Ae Watan', just fantastic. I really enjoyed this film as you can imagine.

This is an excellent tribute to the great martyr Bhagat Singh who was hanged by the British in 1931. If I am not mistaken, one of the story writers (BK Dutt) was Bhagat's comrade in the freedom struggle, and was sentenced to life for 'waging war against the King'in the trial that sent Bhagat, Rajguru and Sukhdev to the gallows. Manoj Kumar a.k.a. Bharat Kumar managed to play Bhagat without excessive melodrama. The music and lyrics are awesome. The song, "Sarfaroshii Ki tamanna" (penned by another martyr Ramprasad 'Bismil') has been sung by Rafi , and he has poured all his heart into it. If you understand the song, and the emotions behind it, you will be touched and awed. The measure of Bhagat Singh's grip on Indian people's perception and imagination can be ascertained by the fact that two more movies were made about him recently. IMHO, the one with Ajay Devgan did greater justice to the man, and his ideas.

Shaheed is Manoj kumar's first patriotic venture.All actors performance was mind blowing
