Some of the film's strengths are its hard hitting portrayal of British atrocities, its court scenes and its action scenes. One can truly get a sense of how such frustrating conditions could drive youngsters to violence and revolt. Colonial India is recreated magnificently in the film and the British atrocities committed are portrayed with aplomb by the director. The film tells the entire life story of Indian freedom fighter and martyr Bhagat Singh who, in a nut shell, grew disillusioned with Gandhi's passive movement and lead an independent violent struggle against the British. Overall it's a pretty solid film but one can't help shake the feeling that it could have been a far superior product if it had been worked on for a short while longer. The film released early due to competition from other films dealing with roughly the same subject. After three years of painstaking research and set construction, veteran film maker Raj Kumar Santoshi and actor Ajay Devgan shot the film in a short stretch of six months. The Legend of Bhagat Singh is one of Indian cinema's most ambitious projects to date.
