Independence Day Special: Actors Who Did Justice To The Role of A Soldier

Patriotic films
A A A tT

There have been many who claim that there has been a rise in war films in recent times and they compare it with the political climate but the fact remains that patriotism has been a running theme in Indian cinema. Hindi cinema has paid numerous homage to the country and those who’ve laid down their life for the nation. However, not many have been able to fully portray nationalism and the pain that comes with war. One such example is Sidharth Malhotra’s turn as Captain Vikram Batra (PVC) in Shershaah which is earning rave reviews. On Independence Day, we catalogue some actors who’ve done justice to these roles.

1. Vicky Kaushal in Uri: The Surgical Strike

2. Hrithik Roshan in Lakshya

Ghazi wasn’t a massive hit but the film managed to tell a story that hasn’t been attempted before and Rana and Kay Kay Menon did justice to their roles.
