Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero - A Shyam Benegal Film / MFA
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero by Shyam Benegal (2004, 222 min.). With his most ambitious project yet, acclaimed filmmaker Shyam Benegal explores the controversial life of Subhas Chandra Bose, the Bengali freedom fighter who renounced Gandhi's non-violence teachings and declared open warfare on the British Empire. This fascinating account depicts actual historical events of Bose's life. He escapes from imprisonment in British Calcutta traveling to Berlin where he meets Adolf Hitler who is disparaging and lukewarm in his support. Frustrated, he leaves Germany in a U-boat to South East Asia, where he links up with the Japanese to begin his own war. Benegal depicts the multi-faceted nature of the inner man and his doubts and drives, while unveiling a historical perspective rarely afforded in the West. Description adapted from the London Film Festival. Hindi with English Subtitles.
