'Bharateeyans' a must-watch for heart-pounding action laced with patriotism

Based on the Galwan Valley attack, the film, however, faced a lot of trouble with the Censor Board. The censors insisting on removing the Shiv Tandav sequence and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation. America's renowned cancer surgeon, Dr Shankar Naidu, is the producer of this pan-India film. He has made this film on the subject of patriotism with great enthusiasm.

Its concept and story is different. The characters in the film, for instance, are also named after their region, such as Bengali, Bhojpuri, Tripuri, Telugu, Punjabi and Marathi. An effective and powerful film, it has benefited from the directorial skills of the helmer, Deena Raj, and talent of the lead actors and supporting actors as well.

Actress Samaira Sandhu, who is from Punjab, has played a Punjabi girl in this film. She has acted very well. Equally commendable are the performances of Nirroze Putcha and Subha Ranjan Mukherjee, who have done justice to their characters. The story and presentation of the film is very effective. The film keeps on moving between the past and present. Produced under the banner of Bharat American Creations and distributed by UFO Movies, 'Bharteeyans' has been written and directed by Deena Raj. The film is releasing in cinemas on July 14 in Hindi and Telugu.
