Is Shaheed (2002) a great film? No. It is clunky, melodramatic, and historically loose. But is it a complete waste of time? Not for fans of early-2000s Bollywood.
Unlike many Bollywood films of the early 2000s that struggled to balance history with song-and-dance routines, Shaheed maintained a relatively grounded tone. It focused heavily on the events leading up to the assassination of J.P. Saunders, the bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly, and the subsequent hunger strike in prison.
