Five Bollywood Movies you cannot miss, this Independence Day

Rang De Basanti united the youth of our country like no other. The sense of awakening the protagonists feel towards the end of the film, can still serve as a great example for our fellow countrymen today.

The movie that fetched Ajay Devgn, his second National Award, its a pity that The Legend of Bhagat Singh did not get its box-office due. But Devgns portrayal of Shaheed Bhagat Singh possibly is the closest interpretation of a real life hero.

The fan following acquried by Lagaan across continents knows no limits. One cannot get enough of this Aamir Khan-starrer about an amateur Indian cricket team of villagers who fight against their evil British landlords to wage off their taxes.

Border is a must-watch for many generations to come. Based on the historical Indo-Pak war in 1971, Border gave us a timeless gem in Sandese Aate Hain which is a fitting tribute to our respected men in uniform.

This isnt a Bollywood film but 1982s Hollywood release Gandhi starring Sir Ben Kingsley is possibly the best portrayal upon the life of Mahatma Gandhi. The movie stays true to the life events of our Father of the Nation.

Movies make a huge difference in instilling forgotten values in us. These five Bollywood flicks require repeated viewing, this Independence Day. Go ahead to see, if your favorite film made it to our list.
