The Revolutionaries, Prime Video’s highly anticipated Hindi Original series, will premiere worldwide on September 11. Directed and created for a series by acclaimed filmmaker Nikkhil Advani, the high-octane period drama is produced by Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani under the banner of Emmay Entertainment.
What is The Revolutionaries about?
Inspired by true events, The Revolutionaries builds an out-an-out entertaining cinematic experience about the untold story of India’s fight for freedom. The series is based on Sanjeev Sanyal's bestseller Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom. Written by Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh, Akshita Wadhwana, Shobhit Narang, and Rutvi Mehta, The Revolutionaries features a stellar ensemble, with Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta, and Gurfateh Pirzada leading the cast, and Jason Shah, Paoli Dam, and Tota Roy Chowdhury in key roles.
Set against the backdrop of India's freedom movement, The Revolutionaries follows four fearless young revolutionaries, Rash Behari Bose (Bam), Sachindra Nath Sanyal (Saraf), Pratibha Lahiri (Ranta), and Bagha Jatin (Pirzada), who dared to stand against the behemoth of the British Empire.
Born in the aftermath of the revolt of 1857, these young revolutionaries are driven by an unwavering belief in justice, liberty, and freedom. As they embark on a dangerous path of armed resistance, the series explores their courage, sacrifices, friendships, betrayals, and the extraordinary choices that helped shape an important chapter in India's freedom struggle.
“India's freedom struggle remains one of the most extraordinary chapters in human history, filled with stories of courage and sacrifice that continue to resonate across generations. Sanjeev Sanyal's book sheds light on so many such remarkable characters and events, and we are proud to have adapted some of those stories for this series,” says Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of SVOD Originals, Prime Video India.
“The Revolutionaries is an adrenaline-fueled series, built around four brave hearts and their relentless efforts to mobilize a nationwide armed resistance against the British Empire. This is a special project for us from the outset, and we are thrilled to reunite with Nikkhil Advani and the team at Emmay Entertainment. With Nikkhil's vision, the immersive world built for the series, and powerful performances from Bhuvan, Rohit, Gurfateh, and Pratibha, we believe this is a thrilling and audacious story that will both move and entertain audiences in India and around the world.”
How to watch The Revolutionaries?
The Revolutionaries will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi with dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali along with subtitles in English and several international languages across India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide on September 11.
Nikkhil Advani, creator and director of The Revolutionaries, shares, “What excited me most about The Revolutionaries was the opportunity to shine a light on the lesser-known heroes of pre-independence India. While inspired by real events and the extraordinary stories of courage documented in Sanjeev Sanyal’s eponymous book, we have approached the series as a character-driven action drama that explores rebellion, sacrifice, friendship, and freedom through an emotional and cinematic lens."
"We have a successful long-standing relationship with Prime Video and it has been a wonderful experience to collaborate with the team again to bring this vision to life with the scale and creative ambition it deserves. I am deeply grateful for how every member of our cast and crew brought remarkable honesty and conviction to their roles. I hope audiences across the world not only experience the thrill of this story, but also connect with the indomitable spirit of these heroes,” adds Nikkhil Advani.
In a joint statement, Producers Madhu Bhojwani and Monisha Advani adds, “The Revolutionaries is more than a series for us. It has been a labor of love from the moment we first encountered these extraordinary stories. Bringing a project of this scale and historical significance to life demanded an unwavering commitment to the vision of creating a show that is as entertaining as it is audacious. We are incredibly proud of what Nikkhil has achieved as a storyteller here, and of the cast and crew who poured themselves into every frame with conviction and heart. This is a story that belongs to all of us, and we are honored to join forces with Prime Video once again to share it with audiences everywhere.”
