Bhopal, March 3 The Hindi film "Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh (2026)", which documents the 100-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has been declared tax-free in Madhya Pradesh by the state's BJP government.
The government announced on Monday that the film would be tax-free to promote the tradition of national service and values, which the RSS has upheld for decades, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said.
"The Hindi film 'Shatak' has been made tax-free across Madhya Pradesh. This film powerfully presents that tradition of national service and values, which the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has kept alive for decades," Yadav said in a post on 'X'.
The film conveys the message that a strong and self-reliant India can only be achieved through organised thought, character, and a spirit of service, he maintained.
The film chronicles the history of the RSS, beginning with the childhood of its founder, K B Hedgewar, in Nagpur, his involvement with the Anushilan Samiti, and the organisation's formation in 1925.
It highlights events such as the liberation of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and the 1948 Kashmir crisis.
The historical film, directed by Aashish Mall and produced by Vir Kapur, was released in theaters on February 19.
