It doesn’t matter who you are and what you do but when you step forward to respect your nation and protect it, you are called a true patriot. Cinema is one powerful medium which can affect the masses in a big way and hence message oriented flicks are always key.

Now, the talk is about one filmmaker’s patriotism. He is none other than speed director Puri Jagannadh. There was a time when Puri’s focus was primarily on commercial masala entertainers but lately his scripts and subjects have begun focusing on substance and content.

His latest offering ISM threw light on how journalists should be respected and similarly his previous flick Temper showed how the police should be respected. That way, Puri has been showing his patriotism in a useful way and this is much appreciated.
