The Rising - More fiction, less facts

A good movie. Although, most bits don't go well with what historians have to say. Mangal Pandey protested during a parade and tried to shoot himself but was later executed (hurriedly). The arrival of Rangoon regiment, etc. are pure fiction (not to mention Mangal's personal life). The First war of Indian Independence began on 10th may 1857 when soldiers from Meerut revolted.

And its not a ballad.
