 Azad Chandrashekhar- The Times of India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
the script for the 75th birthday celebrations for former prime minister chandrashekhar would have followed this comfortable pattern, had the young turk of yore not decided to spoil the party by speaking out against his “gurudev” — prime minister atal behari vajpayee — who was presiding over the occasion.

while mr chandrashekhar stopped short of asking the prime minister to step down, he made it clear that this was only because any alternative to mr vajpayee from within his party was likely to be “far worse”.

Bhagat Singh, who was hanged to death when he was only 23 years old, joined the Hindustan Socialist Republician Party of Chandrashekhar Azad and soon graduated to the forefront of the Party.
Yet another drawback of the film is that while the first few reels (after Bhagat Singh attains adulthood) are devoted to Chandrashekhar Azad (Sunny Deol), the reels thereafter concentrate on only Bhagat Singh and, occasionally Azad, to the almost complete exclusion of Sukhdev and Rajguru.
Sunny Deol plays to the gallery as Chandrashekhar Azad and has some clapworthy scenes.
