Our Struggle
A stridently nationalistic story of Indiaβs freedom struggle, presented through the experiences of a Bengali family from 1885, when the Indian National Congress was established, to 1947. Important events incorporated into the plot were Gandhiβs satyagraha (1920), the Simon Commission (1928), Vallabhbhai Patelβs Bardoli satyagraha (1928) and the 1942 Quit India agitations. Krishan Chanderβs script, Sachin Shankarβs choreography and the acting styles owed much to the IPTA theatre of the 40s. The film, made at Bombay Talkies, was produced by the distributors of the Chicago Radio PA systems label. Kishore Kumar plays the militant hero of this quasi-documentary. Motwane included old documentary footage purchased from Kohinoor and Krishna Film, as well as a shot of Rabindranath Tagore singing his Jana Gana Mana composition, one of Indiaβs national anthems (Arunkumar Royβs Of Tagore and Cinema, 1994, traces this footage to Ufa, shot when Tagore visited Munich)
