Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is a master filmmaker and is known for the great and remarkable storytelling, is going to make a history this Republic Day by giving an Indian-movie-themed special tableau during the Republic Day parade, which is the first of its kind that Bhansali has really managed to be a part of.

The Republic Day festivities tributes to all different parts of the country’s life and this time again, Bhansali as a leading figure is to represent the film industry. This impressive artistry display of the Indian film industry will take place on January 26 at Kartavya Path with Bhansali himself being the one to direct the cinematic tribute at the most important and prestigious ceremonial event of the country.

The film-maker’s selection is seen as a proud moment for the Indian film industry. The Indian film would be represented by him at the parade, a recognition that many believe is justified in view of the enormous contribution he has made to the industry.

The decision was applauded by many fans and netizens, but at the same time, some opened up the idea that instead of celebrating one director, it could have been a group of legendary directors from different film industries. Critics, in this case, suggested that not only SS Rajamouli but also other visionary directors might have been included in the tableau as they have successfully taken Indian cinema worldwide.

But on the other hand, it is said that the supporters probably think that the government and planning protocols were strictly followed and that might have been the reason for the selection of Bhansali.
