Independence Day is just hours away and watching patriotic films to mark this day is quite a common phenomenon. While you might have watched these movies while growing up, the new releases in Bollywood are a sheer treat and they effortlessly managed to impress the movie buffs. Nevertheless, these top 5 picks are the most paramount patriotic Indian movies that have shaped our love towards our nation. 

Chak De! India


Who said patriotism is all about wars? Chak De India might seem to be one of the most unusual picks for this list, however, the film instilled itself as one of the most entertaining and light-hearted patriotic films which will remain etched as one of the most patriotic Indian movies. The movie had a great social impact and it commercialised a sport other than cricket.

Rang De Basanti


Goosebumps, sheer goosebumps! Rang De Basanti is a coming-of-age story, a period retelling, and a chronicle of the largest democracy of the world. The film drove the message home without being preachy and was celebrated for portraying the transformation of youngsters into heroes, making it seem almost poetic.

Raazi


Raazi could be easily termed as a niche film, yet it became one of the biggest box-office hits. One of those patriotic Indian movies which is also a thriller and most all, based on a real story. Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal delivered their career-defining performances in this one and it is the perfect Independence Day watch.

Swades


Swades narrates the story of Mohan, a NASA scientist, and how he finds his roots while rediscovering his love for India by staying back for the development of the village. Well, the film is one of the most unconventional picks as it subtly shares the message of patriotism from a working-class man’s perspective towards his motherland.  

Lakshya 


Lakshya is one of the most loved films which is remembered for multiple reasons. However, it’s Hrithik Roshan’s impeccable performance that turned out to be the highlight of the film.

Farhan Akhtar’s sterling direction, Hrithik Roshan’s splendid dance moves, but most of all, the Kargil War and how a brat turned into a soldier who is fighting for the country at the border.
