The first war of independence on film started after a dissenting Aamir Khan with long hair refused to continue serving under the British Army. Manoj Bajpayee's film about a bunch of Indian army men fleeing from the enemy, instilled in all of us with a fear for the armed forces personnel. LagaanĪshutosh Gowariker's seminal film, which established him in the big league, carefully charted the journey of a few Indian farmers taking on officers of the British Army in a cricket match to save their fields and their crops. Quite singularly the most technically-proficient sports film to be made in India, the movie put us on the journey with these 15 everyday girls to eternal glory.
Rang De BasantiĪ fancier version of telling the story of Bhagat Singh, the film's narrative is rooted in current day Delhi University and explored parallels between how things would change if today's youth were as driven as those in pre-independent India. Rajkumar Santoshi's fantastic retelling of the story of the young freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru, who willingly tied the noose around their necks, filled us with pride and made us introspect.
J P Dutta's unfettered recreation of the Longhewalla battle from 1971, saw Sunny paaji using a bazooka to annihilate the ' dushman Pakistan' soldiers with Jackie bidu providing air support. Here are 28 such movies which provoked this pure feeling for our country, and made us cheer India! India! 1.
Even when it comes to getting us riled up about our country when the hero upholds that Indian flag, it fills us with this pride about this intangible entity called India. In a world which churns out think-pieces, podcasts, extensive reportage by the minute, I've believed a well-made film with its audio-visual elements, can have a greater impact than any other source of media. I've always believed movies can change the world.
