His Story of Itihaas

From a nationalist standpoint, this film is a much-needed awakening. For decades, Indian history textbooks have portrayed colonial invaders in a sympathetic light while ignoring or downplaying the contributions of indigenous heroes. This film highlights how deeply rooted ideological biases have shaped the minds of generations, and it dares to ask: Whose history are we really teaching?

The protagonist's journey-from a concerned parent to a fearless truth-seeker-is portrayed with emotional depth and quiet strength by actor Subodh Bhave. His character reflects the everyday Indian who, though not politically powerful, holds immense moral conviction. He does not raise slogans or engage in violence; instead, he uses the RTI Act, research, and public discourse as his tools. This reflects the ideal nationalist approach: fighting for the country not just with passion, but with reason and responsibility.

The film carefully exposes how many history books ignore the valor of figures like Maharana Pratap, Rani Durgavati, or Subhas Chandra Bose, while giving undue space to glorified accounts of foreign rulers. These omissions are not accidental-they reflect decades of narrative control. His Story of Itihaas doesn't merely point fingers; it encourages viewers to think, question, and reclaim ownership of India's civilizational identity.

Director Manpreet Singh Dhami spent four years researching this film, and it shows. The courtroom scenes, archival investigations, and public debates feel authentic and deeply relevant in today's India. The film's atmosphere is grounded in realism, without resorting to melodrama or propaganda. This adds credibility to its message and allows the audience to form their own conclusions.

Cinematically, the film is modest but impactful. It's not about big-budget effects or star-studded glamor-it's about truth, courage, and the power of one man's resolve. The supporting cast-including Akansha Pandey and Yogendra Tikku-enhance the film's emotional core and help ground the protagonist's mission in everyday Indian realities.

In conclusion, His Story of Itihaas is a powerful reminder that history is not just about the past-it shapes our identity, our values, and our future. For every nationalist who believes that India's glorious past deserves to be told truthfully, this film is a mirror, a warning, and a call to action.

I repeat:

Before you read any book you must watch this movie.

Root cause of every problem is distorted history books studied in schools.

Child became what they read.

NCERT/school history books do not have any source from where it was taken. It is written in a manner that Indians dislike their culture. Side effects of distorted Indian history books are clearly shown in the movie.

After watching this film, your social, political knowledge will increase.

Film is the reality.

Film also tell how system did not give value to true historian R. C majumdar.

Please show your children and save them.

Excellent direction.

Subodh Bhave and Yogendra Tikku did excellet work.

I know where this story comes from, it comes from a guy named Neeraj Atri who, a physics teacher (like me), turned into a historian delving into history that is not taught in schools but is hidden under archives of systemic bankertuptsy of values and morals.

The history of India or Bharat that was never told among Balbans, Victorias, Marxs, Nehrus and Gandhis. The true history of Sambajis, Laxmibais, Savarkars, Pathas etc who sacrificed their lives and more for this land they called their mother because they if could do more, they would have done it.

The history with real proof and not a mere footnote that it was a manifestation of a leftist's dream of how Bharat should be and not how it really was.

The real history not from the eyes of the invader but those who lived on to protect what was their and was handed over to them from their ancestors, from Ram, Krishna etc. A true history to be proud of.

It's our responsibility to support such movies. Needs lot of courage to present the truth. 💯 Movie shows what was hidden from the history books of school. The education system where the foundation is built for any child is not to be blindly trusted. There can be mistakes or there can be things added to the curriculum on purpose by the people who are in power or those who have the authority.

This movie should also be released in the other regional languages. Sadly there are way too less shows for the movie as of today. But things can change on public demand. Need more publicity and promotion for the movie.

The film stands strong on every front. Direction, screenplay, dialogues, and acting - everything is worth watching. This is not just a film; it delivers a powerful blow and poses serious questions to those who write glamorous stories in the name of film history. It vividly exposes how India's history has been distorted and defamed with manipulated historical facts and evidence.

The film presents such compelling facts that you will be left stunned. Some revelations are so serious that even the government may not have an answer to them.

You will walk out of the cinema hall questioning yourself. This film will shake you to your core. How long it stays in theatres will be decided by time, but it will continue to question historians for decades to come.
