Its Mahatma Gandhi Vs. Bhagat Singh Again !!

Lots of water has flown under that imaginary bridge reading, watching, hearing and in trying to understand actually what would have happened between 1920 and 1930 in India when the principles of two great freedom fighters were clashing. Is in not again an example of Divide and Rule policy where britishers actually used one against another. Who was right, the ways of Bhagat Singh, Azad or Mahatma Gandhi? Could Gandhi ji have actually saved Bhagat Singh from getting hanged that day? Bhagat Singh actually was emerging as a bigger Hero than any contemporary leader at that time. Congress was threatened by the force which Lala ji was making , today in history books whom we know as Extremists.
All this is past. Writers, Movie makers have tried to put together enough cells from there brain to answer it in their own way.
I will not do that…
I am focusing on this new battle that has come up again in circa 2005-2006 between Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh. The fight between RANG DE BASANTI and LAGE RAHO MUNNA BHAI as in, which will be the Entry from India in Oscars. One showing the glory for dying for truth and another showing the power of truth upturning every heart.
We as the die hard fans of the Hindi Cinema must feel really lucky that such high class movies have start getting made in India now. The new generation of directors has brought all great ideas and enthusiasm to change the image of Bollywood.
Ok Ok, we moving away from topic. Lets get back, so RDB or LRMB? Hey, but lets see first as what actually must be in a Film to make it a representative of whole India? I think, it must depict the culture of the country, the past glory and current scenario of one's country, must represent what common actually thinks, how he lives, what he goes through, it must show what actually are the ideologies of the youth, because that is what will set the pace of a nation. I think RDB scores over LRMB.
It has all the elements which make it a right entry for India in Oscars. Yes, it does not have a world famous icon like Gandhi ji in it, but isn't time has come to tell the world that Indian independence is much more than it actually has been presented. It is a result of 1000's of martyrs like Bhagat Singh. Azad, Rajguru, Bismil, Sukhdev, Asfaq-ul-llah, Khudiram Bose,Vir Sawarkar who died for the cause of freedom. And I think RDB will do all justice in putting forward the thought across planet Earth.
Ofcourse LRMB says Vande Mathram, but RDB says Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna ab hamare Dil main Hai, this is line which has very much relevance today. Today the youth in India is rising up in every part of India for right for Justice. The movement against reservation bill is a very good example of the power of Youth. Were the youth inspired by RDB? Movie was released around that time only. We never know what actually will ignite the flame inside us.
We are future and all set to take up the responsibility of this nation. We will oppose everything which is wrong and will welcome with open arms everything which is right.
So, Beware minds thinking against India, Youth of India is Rising !!!!!

Comments:
Richard Attenbourough's 1988 film: Gandhi had already won Eight oscars
at that time.
So its now time to give Bhagat Singh a chance to win atleast one oscar in the Foreign Film category.
