Venkatesh in Subhash Chandra Bose

Well, Victory Venkatesh's Subhash Chandra Bose is one of the best and underrated films and so is his performance in the movie. He plays the dual role, Subash Chandra Bose alias Chandram and Ashok in this K Raghavendra Rao directed film. Inspired by the life of Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose, the film touches the emotional chord of every person and shows what it means to be patriotic in real sense. Despite the critical acclaim, the film fell flat at the box-office.


And since its Independence Day today, it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the auspicious occasion. Happy Independence Day, everyone!
