To carry forward the thought we shall remember all the freedom heroes who fought for us and sacrificed their lives to give us the freedom we have today.

I would like to congratulate the various members of Sanskar Bharti for adopting this beautiful conceptualization and making it into a grand celebration. Our Country is a diversified collaboration of language, art, cultures, society, and most important the folk art. Sanskar Bharti is doing a commendable job in creating awareness among the common man of our country. Back in our days we were more focused on entertainment now the cinema speaks the language of brotherhood and characters. Cinema played a catalyst in removing the social barriers that our country was baffled in. I feel the hidden gems of the talents across our country have to be brought upright in front of the world via cinema.
