MUMBAI: With Republic Day round the corner, Shemaroo Entertainment has brought together three great Leaders - Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Sardar Patel - in a two-DVD pack titled, Great Leaders on the Path of Non-Violence.

The pack consists of a documentary on the lives of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela and the National Award winning feature film Sardar, starring Paresh Rawal.

The documentary of Mahatma Gandhi explores his struggle against the mighty British Empire and its colonies of South Africa and India. It shows various historic events like - the Dandi March and Non-Cooperative Movement that he initiated.

The documentary of Nelson Mandela shows his struggles, his triumphs and the adversity which ultimately drove him to greatness as an African leader.

The biographical epic on Sardar Patel concentrates largely on the last five years of Sardar's life, from 1945 to 1950 when he strode on the national scene, wresting India's Independence and integrating the nation.

The film deals with all the myriad and debilitating problems that India faced in its pre and immediate post Independence period, which turned out to be Sardar Patel's finest hour.

Avers, Shemaroo Entertainment Director Hiren Gada, "Through this two-DVD pack, Shemaroo has attempted to combine education and entertainment. We would like to give today's youth and school children an opportunity to understand the principals and philosophies of such great leaders whose accomplishments influenced, and will influence generations to come."
