Prime Video has announced September 11, 2026 as the worldwide premiere date for The Revolutionaries, a Hindi Original series directed and created by Nikkhil Advani. The period drama is inspired by true events and based on Sanjeev Sanyal's book Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom.

The series follows four young revolutionaries Rash Behari Bose (Bhuvan Bam), Sachindra Nath Sanyal (Rohit Saraf), Pratibha Lahiri (Pratibha Ranta), and Bagha Jatin (Gurfateh Pirzada) who chose armed resistance against the British Empire after the 1857 revolt. Produced by Emmay Entertainment, the show will stream in Hindi with dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Bengali across India and more than 240 countries.
The coverage of The Revolutionaries is uniform straight reporting across all three outlets. Each version leads with the premiere date, lists the cast and creators, and quotes the same executives and producers verbatim from the Prime Video press release. The only minor difference is that Cinema Express adds detail about the character teasers, while Bollywood Hungama and NDTV Profit stay closer to the release text. There is no editorial framing, no critical scrutiny of the historical basis or the creator's credentials, and no mention of any controversy or alternative view. The coverage reads as promotion, not journalism. A careful reader should note that the series is based on Sanjeev Sanyal's book, a known government-aligned historian, but no source raised this. The next concrete step: the series premieres on September 11, 2026, on Prime Video across 240 countries.
