March 19, 2022 Editor

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is emerging as the favorite filmmaker of the BJP and has received the party’s full support. By – Sidharth Bhatia Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (1935), on the Nazi Party congress attended by 700,000 supporters in Nuremberg, is said to be one of the greatest documentaries ever made.
