Excitement builds around ‘Shatak’, the cinematic tribute to RSS’s centennial, with chief Mohan Bhagwat showering it with accolades. At Keshav Kunj event in New Delhi, he portrayed the film as more than a biopic—it’s a dynamic narrative of Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar’s transformative legacy.
Hedgewar, RSS’s founding visionary, devoted his existence to organizing the nation and igniting social consciousness, Bhagwat noted. His biography exemplifies renunciation, rigor, and a profound sense of unity. The movie masterfully weaves in motivational episodes, notably a heartfelt song sequence from his early years that forged his indomitable spirit.
Bhagwat thanked everyone involved in the production. Slated for theaters across India on February 20, ‘Shatak’ honors a century of RSS service. Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari echoed the sentiment, appealing to viewers in an Instagram video to discover the authentic RSS through the screen.
Gadkari debunked myths, asserting RSS’s core is selfless dedication in remote tribal areas, educational outreach, cooperative empowerment, and community enlightenment. ‘Understand the work to grasp the ideology—the contributions of countless swayamsevaks speak volumes,’ he remarked. This film arrives at a crucial time, offering clarity amid societal narratives.
‘ Shatak’ stands poised to resonate deeply, blending history, emotion, and patriotism to engage modern audiences with timeless values of service and sacrifice.
