RELEASING THIS MONTH
A sneak-peek into the big release of the month!
Bharat joins The Great Russian Circus in 1964 and earns a
reputation for being a playboy. The discovery of oil in the
Gulf region in the mid-1970s leads to a subsequent Indian
migration to the territory. Here, Bharat begins a romantic
relationship with his chief engineer Kumud Raina. He
volunteers for the Indian Navy and later holds the family
business together during the period leading to economic
liberalisation in the 1990s, all the while keeping his promise
to his father.
Trivia
This is the third collaboration of Salman
Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar after Sultan
(2016) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), both of
which were blockbusters.
Behind the Scenes
Director Ali Abbas Zafar has stated that making Bharat
was like making seven different films. He spent one-
and-a-half years along with his production designer and
stylists to study the different eras before kickstarting the
shoot. He based his depiction of the Partition on Richard
Attenborough’s Gandhi.
PLAY TRAILER
The Partition sequences were shot in the freezing cold over
10 days in Punjab. They recreated a station near Lahore,
replete with a real steam engine, which was brought to
the location. It happens to be one of only five functioning
steam engines in the country. The art department worked
on it for four days to make it match those from the Northern
Frontier Railways of 1947.
BOOK TICKETS
Bharat
Salman Khan sports prosthetics for the
first time in his career. He will be seen
in four to five different looks in the film
through 60 years. The crucial part will
focus on his late 20s, in which he looks
lean and youthful.
A Journey of a Man and a Nation together!
Bharat is based on the South Korean melodrama Ode
to My Father (2014), which traces the history of South
Korea parallel to a man’s life, spanning from the 1950s
to the 2010s. This is Salman Khan’s most ambitious and
expensive production.
The Plot
During the Partition of India in 1947, Bharat’s father stays
back in Pakistan and makes his eight-year-old son promise
to lead the household and keep the family together, no
matter what. Bharat’s life over a period of 60 years, from
18 to 70 years of age, traces India’s post-independence
history as well as his determination to keep his word to
his father.
