So, this year too we have made similar arrangements where films IB 71 and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag will be screened at different times at the multiplexes where people can go and watch them for free on a first-come-first-serve basis.When the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775, few colonists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did were considered radical.īy the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence, thanks to growing hostility against Britain and the spread of revolutionary sentiments such as those expressed in the bestselling pamphlet “ Common Sense,” published by Thomas Paine in early 1776. Normally entertainment based films are screened at multiplexes but on special occasions such as Independence Day we encourage multiplexes and cinema halls to screen old or new patriotic films and also play patriotic songs throughout the day in celebration of the day.

Surya Pal Gangwar, District Magistrate, Lucknow, shares, “Every year on Independence Day an extra show is organised by us at the multiplexes, in which patriotic films are shown to the general public and school children.

The booking for the free show starts in multiplexes across the city today. The show will be open to the general public and students and will be free of cost. Organised by the city administration to celebrate Independence Day, all the multiplexes in the city will be holding an extra show screeing only patriotic films on August 15. And that’s because city folk will yet again get to watch patriotic films in their favourite multiplex, that too for free. Like last year, this Independence Day too is going to be quite special for Lucknowites.
