Embrace your sense of patriotism by spending your Sunday watching these modern Bollywood productions that perfectly capture the spirit of India under the constitution and independence.
With good reason, movies like Rang De Basanti (2006) and Lagaan (2001) will probably never be seen again on holidays like Republic Day and Independence Day.
More historic films, such as Shershaah (2021) and Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), have succeeded in securing a spot on this coveted list of patriotic nostalgia in recent years.
Movies to watch today
Having said that, Bollywood has produced several patriotic films in recent years. Therefore, this list is for those lesser-known projects that also merit a fair shot in your binge lineup in order to instill a sense of patriotism in you.
Sam bahadur
The enormous success of the Ranbir Kapoor film Animal (one of the greatest box office clashes of the year) may have overshadowed Vicky Kaushal’s outstanding performance in Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur (2023). This doesn’t detract from the compelling film’s depiction of Sam Manekshaw’s life and bravery as India’s first Field Marshal, particularly when set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pak War in 1971.
Article 370
Section 370 Article 370 Article 370 (2024) was undoubtedly a divisive movie. The film, starring Yami Gautam, explores the contentious repeal of Article 370, which gave Jammu and Kashmir unique status. Regardless of your position on the argument, the movie is an exciting viewing in and of itself, scoring highly on its emotional context.
Ae watan mere watan
Mere Watan Mere Ae Watan Perhaps Sara Ali Khan’s Ae Watan Mere Watan (2024) went unnoticed. Nevertheless, the movie highlights how the general public was also deeply engaged in the fight for India’s independence, rather than focusing on a person who has already been celebrated by history and literature.
