23rd March 1931: Shaheed

Shaheed is a very realistic depiction of our India in the pre-Independence era, as our heroes fought valiantly and stuck strong to their cause of freedom. The Deols, being real Punjabis, fit their characters of Bhagat Singh (Bobby Deol) and Chandrashekhar Azad (Sunny Deol) perfectly. Personally, Sunny should have won Best Supporting Actor for this film, which was sadly ignored by the biased media (the media is ignorant and stupid). This is movie is dramatic, and yet, so invigorating. A movie like this really boils your blood so hard that you just want to go out there and take action with big guns and go after those zamindaars. Stand up for the country's honor and dignity. Action and performances are excellent. If our own Indians today knew about our past and its greatness, it would be in better situations today! You will like this movie a lot!! Cheers!

23rd March 1931: Shaheed is a historical biographical film about Bhagat Singh, directed by Guddu Dhanoa. The film stars Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol, Amrita Singh, Rahul Dev, Suresh Oberoi Late Vivek Shauq, Shakti Kapoor and Divya Dutta.

The film is based on the life of one of the greatest freedom fighter of Indian who martyred at a very young age, the great Bhagat Singh.

Disclaimer-:

I have a very deep respect and regards for one of the biggest freedom fighter of India and the review of the film is purely on the basis of film making and my personal views while watching the film and it shouldn't be linked to any kind of disrespect to the great legend, any negative remark will be only intended towards to the film and should be taken only for the film not for the great Bhagat Singh.

With all due respect to the greatest freedom fighter i must say that this film didn't do a great justice to the legend. When you are making a film which is based on true events or someone's life adding a pinch of fiction is workable in the film but sadly this film is filled with many fictitious scenes and is far from reality, even the real scenes weren't shot with the intensity and perfection that it should've been shot and looks fictitious.

Acting in the film is good and Bobby Deol plays the part of the legend with perfection. Sunny Deol who plays the role of another legend Chandrashekhar Azad was also impressive, rest of the star cast were impressive but didn't got the due attention that they deserved and it seems that the film was primarily made to highlight the role of Bobby and Sunny Deol.

Screenplay of the film is average to decent and as said lacks originality. Climax of the film is good, songs of the film are also good.

Can be watched once.

This is an absolute accurate movie , based on Bhagat Singh. Bobby Deol certainly has done justice to the role. Sunny Deol , though not better Aamir Khan or Akhilendra Mishra , yet has created a feeling that he is the man for the role of Chandra Shekhar Azad.

Also as per the history , the hanging too was accurate as the scene , in reality , took place somewhat close to 8 'o' clock , and in the movie too, the scene takes place at the exact time .

As for Bobby Deol , kudos for his superb action as Bhagat Singh , and hope that the great Bollywood wakes up from its deep slumber of ignoring perfect masterpieces.

Thanking the users, Theirs Sincerely, Animesh

i have read about this movie here-and heard about the rumor saying- both films hit theaters same day and both failed at box office...

but for me both the films are good and we should appreciate their effort to bring on screen martyrs story...

here in this film bobby deol and sunny rocks, and in that bhagath singh movie(Ajay devagan) Ajay devgan singly rocks.....

what i liked here: 1.bhagath singh asking mother many questions about British and their rule.. 2.his conversation with bro deol on screen. 3.making of film....

we were not there when it happened-but at least now we can see it and remember the sacrifice made by those young martyrs...

every Indian must n should watch this movie and tell about it show it to future generation too...

>>guddu dhanoa proved he can direct such films too.... >>>all songs are SO nice n melodious with meaning....

i give it 10/10 n it deserves more....

At first i thought that this would be another story about the independence of the two nations (pakistan and India) but how wrong was i it is an absolutely fantastic film that really makes you proud of the fact that there were people like Baghat Singh who would fight in the name of freedom so that we could benefit. It was a perfect choice to have the punjabi brothers play such a vital role and all credit goes to them for making it all that better. Overall: Acting 100% really makes you want to go and help them; a heart wrenching yet proud situation for Vidya (Amrita Singh)who has done a fantastic job. i would watch this film over and over again just for the reason that it really is a film that the family can watch and you really feel the pain the passion and the emotions that they had gone though. all in all GO WATCH IT im off 2 get the DVD lol x
