Here is cover page of another publication on Bhagat Singh by our Amar Chitra Katha.

























Bhagat Singh was considered a salable theme in Bollywood also hence many movies were also made on him right from 'Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh'(1954,Prem Adib,Jairaj),'Shaheed Bhagat Singh'(1963,Shammi Kapoor),'Shaheed'(1965,Manoj Kumar) to 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh'(2002,Ajay Devgan),'23rd March 1931:Shaheed'(2002,Bobby Deol).
In 2002 there was not less than 4 or 5 released which all were based on Bhagat Singh,out of which only Raj Kumar Santoshi's 'The Legend Of Bhagat Singh' left its impact and rest sank without any noise.
Out of these i watched 'The Legend of BS' and '23rd March 1931:Shaheed',was impressed by script and direction quality of Santoshi's movie and by cast of Guddu Dhanoa's as Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol were quite fit in the roles of Baghat Singh and Chandrshekhar Azad repectively.
Imagined,it would have been better if Santoshi would have cast Sunny and Bobby in his movie rather than Ajay Devgan and Akhilendra Mishra.
