India will proudly and ecstatically commemorate its 77th Independence Day on August 15. The country comes together to remember the sacrifices made by our ancestors, to thank the military for their service, and to honour our great leaders. What better way to continue your day than by viewing patriotic and socially conscious films, as most people start it by watching the parade?
These newly released and delivered films, like as RRR, Major, and Suriya’s Jai Bhim, give a fresh perspective on patriotism.
RRR
Ram Charan and Jr. NTR feature in SS Rajamouli’s pre-independence period drama RRR. Stories of the battles our freedom warriors had with the British before our independence have been told to us. The brutal British era is shown in this film, and it is heartbreaking. Ram Charan and Jr. NTR play the liberation warriors Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju in the historical drama. Alison Doody, Ajay Devgn, Ray Stevenson, Olivia Morris, and Alia Bhatt are also included.
Jana Gana Mana
The Malayalam film starring Prithviraj Sukumarnan became a huge blockbuster and received a lot of positive reviews. It is a play with social relevance that tackles a range of national topics, like politics, caste, students, women, and beyond. The movie also features Mamta Mohandas, Shammi Thilakan, and Vincy Aloshious. If you wish to see it, you may do so on Netflix through streaming.
Major
Sandeep Unnikrishnan, a martyr who gave his life in the 2008 26/11 Mumbai attack, is the subject of the movie Major. The pan-Indian film’s honest effort to honour a soldier won over viewers regardless of their proficiency in the language. Major promises to evoke a range of feelings in you, from pride to grief.
Jai Bhim
Even though Jai Bhim was published in 2021, we still want to include it on this list since it sheds light on a complex societal issue: caste. The Irular tribe is the target of caste prejudice and police violence in the movie. Amazon Prime Video hosted the premiere of Jai Bhim. Jai Bhim, starring Suriya and written and directed by TJ Gnaanvel, is based on a true story that Justice Chandru handled. Lijomol Jose, Manikandan, Suriya, Rajisha Vijayan, and Prakash Raj play the major characters in the movie.
Sita Ramam
The actor Dulquer Salmaan portrays Lieutenant Ram. An Indian soldier deployed at the Kashmiri border named Ram (Dulquer Salmaan) receives a mysterious love letter from Sita Mahalakshm in the Hanu Raghavapudi-directed film. Sita Ramam is undoubtedly a joy to watch if you want to make your heart laugh, weep, or experience the wonderful times.
