CHAAR SAHIBZAADE BECOMES HIGHEST RATED FILM IN HISTORY – BALBIR SINGH SOOCH:
December 2, 2014 By gursikhnews:
Filmmaker Harry Baweja says, it is an animation (movies the making of movies by filming a sequence of slightly varying drawings or models so that they appear to move and change when the sequence is shown-movies a movie or movies consisting of a series of drawn,
painted, or modeled scenes- smooth and realistic animations-liveliness in the way somebody speaks or behaves) film.
Lightly to say that, ‘The film is about the sacrifices of the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji (the tenth Guru of Sikhs) – Baba Ajit Singh ji, Baba Jujhar Singh ji, Baba Zorawar Singh ji and Baba Fateh Singh ji’ is not enough.
As I witnessed the place of sacrifice continuously for about more than 20 years, I expect more from the film, ‘Chaar Sahibzaade’ from different angles as historically, socially,
humanitarianly (somebody who believes in the philosophical theory of humanitarianism-somebody who seeks to improve the lives of other people), treacherously, and from the
angle that such sacrifice never witnessed in history parallel to the sacrifice
of four sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji.
To my mind, the place of sacrifice is worth of celebration collectively and no way place of sadness for all humanity including Sikhs as the place of sacrifice depicts and combination as the symbol of evil and truthfulness and the place of sacrifice has special status in the world required to be glorified more befittingly.
When I was touching all these aspects, expecting from the ‘Chaar Sahibzaade Film’, then I was advised innocently by someone yet not see the film as no Filmmaker shall like that
audience should apply their mind about his film and see critically in this manner.
I accepted the advice religiously believing like the majority that ‘Chaar Sahibzaade Becomes Highest Rated Film in History’.
