Marking a century of organisational growth and public service, the feature film “Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh” is slated for a nationwide theatrical release on February 19, 2026. The film traces the 100-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), offering a cinematic portrayal of its evolution, values and contribution to India’s social and cultural landscape since its founding in 1925.

The film seeks to present an in-depth account of the organisation’s philosophy, internal discipline and sustained grassroots efforts, highlighting the role played by generations of volunteers in shaping what the makers describe as a long-standing movement of service and nation-building.

Directed by Aashish Mall and conceptualised by Anil Dhanpat Agarwal, the project has been produced by Vir Kapur under the banner of Ada 360 Degree LLP. Associate Producer Pavan Sindhi played a key role in the development of the film, while Kabir Sadanand served as Associate Producer and Aashish Tiwari as Co-Producer. The makers describe the film as a collective creative effort reflecting the shared ethos that has guided the organisation for a century.

A major milestone for the project was marked at a special event held at Keshav Kunj in Jhandewalan, where RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat formally unveiled two songs from the film — “Bharat Maa Ke Bacche” and “Bhagwa Hai Meri Identity.” The songs are positioned as patriotic compositions that echo the central themes of the film.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Bhagwat reflected on the organisation’s hundred-year-long journey, noting that the film captures the quiet perseverance and sustained effort that have characterised its work over decades. He referred to the enduring spirit of commitment embodied in the phrase “Na Ruke, Na Thake, Na Jhuke.”

Inviting audiences to experience the film in theatres, the makers said Shatak is intended as more than a cinematic narrative. It is presented as a tribute to the millions of volunteers whose service, dedication and sacrifices have formed the backbone of the organisation’s journey.

Through its historical narrative, the film aims to inspire younger generations by highlighting the principle of “Nation First” and documenting the lives of individuals who, according to the makers, devoted themselves to the service of the country.
