Azad Cinema {freedom motion picture}

Patriotism. It is one such feeling which tears your heart and brings tears to one's eyes. Then it does not matter which country you belong . It is one such feeling around which an entire film can be built up. As there are other emotions such as revenge, romance, fear etc. patriotism has always been one strong emotion in Indian cinema.
