As the nation celebrates \u2018Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav\u2019 to mark 75 years of India\u2019s Independence, the National Film Archive of India, Pune has put together a special virtual exhibition of films\u00a0– \u2018Chitranjali @ 75: A Platinum Panorama\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

A panorama of visual documentation, the online exhibition traces the nation\u2019s journey since the attainment of independence. The digital collection showcases the Indian cinema glorifying the bravery and sacrifice of the freedom fighters and soldiers. It shows films that reflected the undercurrents of the society and paved the way to various social reforms, and films which immortalized the heroes in uniform – the armed forces.<\/p>\n

Launching the exhibition as part of I&B Ministry\u2019s celebration of Iconic Week of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shri Anurag Singh Thakur said that Indian Cinema is the nation\u2019s soft power and has played a big role in creating an identity for the country on the global stage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0About the virtual exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Chitranjali @ 75\u2019, presents different moods of patriotism through 75 film posters and photographs from different language cinemas. The exhibition is divided into three segments: \u2018Freedom Struggle through the lens of Cinema\u2019, \u2018Cinema of Social Reform\u2019, and \u2018Saluting the Brave Soldiers\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Freedom Struggle through the lens of Cinema\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0portrays tales of the heroic feats of our freedom fighters, in various languages.\u00a0The bravery and sacrifice of freedom fighters find a rightful place in Indian cinema, and these stories will continue to inspire the generations to come.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Cinema of Social Reform\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0brings out the intersection of Indian cinema and the Indian Nationalist movement in the early decades of the twentieth century. It showcases the power of cinema to mobilize the energy of the people by instilling patriotism through powerful visual projections and melodies. Many of the social reform movements depicted in these films were born during these times and in a way helped galvanizing society.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018Saluting the Brave Soldiers\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0is a fitting tribute to the valour of the armed forces, which has been a recurring theme in our cinema. The war films showcased in this segment have succeeded in creating an aura of selfless martyrdom and immortality to the soldiers of our nation.
