SYNOPSIS:
May contain
spoilers...
From the official website: On March 23, 1931, in the dead of the night, three bodies are smuggled out of Lahore Central Jail via the back gate. They are taken to an isolated place, chopped up into pieces and surreptitiously cremated by British officers. The next day, this incident creates a national uproar throughout India.
Who was this man who struck such fear in the powerful British government that they had to destroy his dead body in the darkness? Who was this man whose memory invokes such powerful emotions even 71 years after his death?
He was Bhagat Singh - India's most beloved son. An extraordinary young man who happily became a martyr for his country at the tender age of 23; a revolutionary who single-handedly shook up the powerful British government, exposing their true barbaric nature. A man for whom victory lay in his own death. This is his story, The Legend of Bhagat Singh.
