To me, this movie is perfection.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Tone, Script & Story: The movie moves around, the story of revolutionaries of British ruled India. Some of the major revolutionaries which are portrayed are Bhagat Singh, RajGuru, SukhDev and ChandraShekar Azad. The incidences that are filmed include jallianwala bagh massacre, Kakori train robbery, establishing HRA (further modified as HSRA), Simon Go Back protest, killing of John Saunders, Assembly Bombing, Fasting in prison for equal rights (and achieving success), finally being hanged till death (Bhagat Singh, RajGuru, SukhDev) or suicide (ChandraShekar Azad).The movie is very patriotic. It shows conflicting ideas between congress headed by Gandhiji and HRA (further modified as HSRA). The movie shows Bhagat's take to revolutionize people of India through think tank of young blood. He suceeded in conveying apparatus for making Bomb to Indians via press, he also succeded in gaining equal rights for all prisoners (English and Indian's alike) and accepting death as punishment with pride. All this while watching in the movie gives one a dose of adrenalin rushing in their veins.Bhagat's family was welthy enough. They were able to pay 60000, even in those days to provide him bail. Despite such wealth he chose to become revolutionary. The movie informs us about fasting which lasted for atleast 63 days. It had never happened in history before. British Government tried but failed to break their fast.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Rajkumar Santoshi shines as a director. Screenplay and cinematography are justified as well. Music: music is very good. Acting: Everybody has acted well, the characters of SukhDev and ChandraShekar to watch act was a treat even if it may not be so in real life in past.Final Verdict: Patriotic revolutionizing treat worth watching.

There I was, a guy about to enter adulthood, and on the verge of questioning everything about the human society - from religion to politics. And that was the time when I saw this epic, and it changed my life and built my character. Do yourself a favor and watch it with an open mind.This movie should be experienced by everyone. If you are not an Indian, watch it to know a revolutionary who is in the same league as Lenin or Che Guevara. If you are an Indian, please show this to future generations. At present times, when men of character have become scarce, this can be a beacon of hope.This is not a movie, it is a lesson in history, sociology, revolution, and justice. Very few movies touch all subjects such a religion, socialism, justice, revolution, human emotions like this one. The characters give the same soul moving experience that few movies like "Schindler's List" and "The man from Earth" were able to achieve (for me). This is a truly intelligent cinema far away from the singing dancing image of Bollywood. Rajkumar Santoshi deserves a standing applause for an honest depiction of the revolutionary, and deserves better recognition. Ajay Devgn is almost an incarnation of the Legend of Bhagat Singh, and has arguably given his best performance. If this was not history, it would be tough to believe that Bhagat Singh achieved so much in so little time and young age. His autobiography "Why I am an atheist" proves that this movie has depicted him in true light. Men like Bhagat Singh come once in a millennium.The movie shows Bhagat Singh as a young child who witnesses atrocities and starts questing every aspect and practice in Indian society. This leads him to compare and question methods of leaders of that time. Bhagat Singh grew up in a time when men truly had character - the type of character that builds nations from ground up. His methods are truly ingenious and one is left to ponder how such a young mind could devise such ingenious instruments of revolution. The movie also urges the audience to think for themselves, and poses questions that lead you to evaluate present day Indian society. One cannot help but ponder how Indian society would have turned up if Bhagat Singh had lived longer.SPOILER: In the end, the movie leaves the audience with a rhetoric "Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were only 23 when they were hanged. They gave up their lives for the dream of a free, and secular India.But today Indian society is ravaged by evils of Fundamentalism, Communal hatred, social injustice and corruptionHave we betrayed their sacrifices?"

Best movie I have seen till date , great tribute to Bhagat Singh ,Ajay Devgan lived the role of Bhagat Singh. Bhagat Singh , name sounds interesting since my childhood because he sacrificed his life for the nation just @ the age of 23 years . Hence I always have urge to know about him .At last I got chance to know about Bhagat Singh because of this movie . First of all my heartful thanks to whole movie unit. After I saw this movie felt very much proud of Bhagat singh , man who always fight for India till death by sacrificing his personal life too . Bhagat singh sacrificed his life because he felt responsibility towards the nation .Then I realised that every person should feel responsibility towards nation. I understood the value of sacrifice by our freedom fighters. Hence I started social service by helping poor people . I am doctor by profession , serving my nation by treating and helping poor people , which gives me ultimate satisfaction . My life changed its path after i have seen The Legend of Bhagat Singh movie , You are in my heart forever . Bhagat Singh amar rahe , Inquilab ZindabD

There were 10 reviews for this film before mine and they all rated it 10 out of 10 stars. If that's not enough to convince you about how powerful this film is, then read on. It's one of the best films to ever come out of India and can also boast some of the best acting talents as well. The narrative is quite simple. This is the story of the legendary Bhagat Singh and his friends, a group of young boys who idolized Ghandhi as children but became disillusioned as they grew into teenagers and witnessed that none of Gandhi's peaceful tactics seemed to have worked on getting the British colonialists out of India nor stop the oppression. Steadily, they begin to rebel and form their own group and politics and soon emerge as freedom fighters. The incomparable Ajay Devgan stars as the grown up Bhaghat Singh and he is just flawless, he shoots this character into the stratosphere of acting that you eventually find yourself believing that this man might very well be Bhaghat Singh. He owns the character, he becomes the character, he inhabits the very essence of this freedom fighter and makes it his own life for the duration of the entire film. Amrita Rao is a dream to see, a breath of fresh air after viewing hours of the violence, bloodshed and senseless British nonsensical banter and poor excuse for logic. She stars here as the suitor for Bhagat but is rebuffed by the man she now loves and respects. You've heard the stories, now see it for yourself in The Legend of Bhagat Singh.
