Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes revolutionary anti-colonialism and the socialist ideology of its protagonist, Bhagat Singh, as the solution to British imperial oppression.

Its narrative explicitly critiques traditional power structures by portraying colonial figures, predominantly white males, as antagonists, making the anti-colonial theme central to the story.
Secondary
The film portrays Hinduism as an integral part of India's diverse social fabric and the independence movement. It advocates for inter-religious unity against colonial rule, without critiquing the faith itself.
