Constitution Day, also known as ‘Samvidhan Diwas’ in Hindi, is celebrated on November 26 every year to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. In 2015, on the 125th birth anniversary of B. R. Ambedkar, the Union government of India led by PM Narendra Modi announced its plans to celebrate November 26 as Constitution Day. Eventually in the same year in October, PM Narendra Modi declared that November 26 will be observed and celebrated as Constitution Day with an aim to create awareness about our constitutional rights and encourage people to inculcate constitutional values in their lives. A country with the world`s longest written constitution, India is also a home to Bollywood – one of the biggest cinemas of the world which delivers thousands of feature films every year. While Bollywood is known for its quintessential masala commercial movies, fortunately, there’s a set of courageous filmmakers in Bollywood who highlight societal problems that people often turn a blind to. From Article 15 to Aligarh, there are movies that revolve around the key sections, articles, laws and rights that are prescribed by the Indian constitution. On the occasion of Constitution Day, let`s look at some of the greatest masterpieces of Bollywood that showcased social issues and represented key principles of the Indian Constitution beautifully on the silver screen.
