The upcoming release of ‘Shatak’ has RSS supremo Mohan Bhagwat captivated, labeling it a stirring revival of Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar’s odyssey. During a Delhi gathering at Keshav Kunj, Bhagwat framed the film as an ideological odyssey, far beyond conventional cinema.
As RSS’s architect, Hedgewar channeled his life into national cohesion and societal upliftment, marked by profound sacrifice and discipline. Bhagwat spotlighted how ‘Shatak’ revives electrifying vignettes from his path, including a childhood melody that instilled unshakeable resolve.
Gratitude poured from Bhagwat to the film’s team ahead of its February 20 premiere nationwide, tying into RSS’s historic century. Nitin Gadkari, the Transport Minister, amplified the call, posting a video plea on Instagram for mass viewership to pierce through RSS stereotypes.
Drawing from personal swayamsevak roots, Gadkari illuminated RSS’s tangible impacts: tireless tribal aid, educational strides, cooperative bolstering, and awareness drives. ‘Misconceptions persist despite the evidence of apolitical service by millions—this film bridges that gap,’ he asserted.
In an era craving authentic narratives, ‘Shatak’ emerges as a beacon, potentially reshaping perceptions and reigniting dialogues on disciplined patriotism and communal harmony.
