Bollywood has seen its fair share of patriotic movies – from The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, which was an ode to the braveheart to a thought-provoking film like Swades. On Republic Day today, we look back at the patriotic songs that have left an impact on us.


1. Dil diya hai jaan bhi denge (Karma)



This one beautifully encapsulates our love for our country – guess that’s why it’s a staple Independence and Republic Day song.

 

2. Ae mere pyare watan (Kabuliwala)



The pain in singer Manna Dey’s voice reflects the sorrow of staying away from home.

 


3. Yeh jo desh hai tera (Swades)



Something about this song leaves a strange unsettling feeling in the stomach – almost making us think if we are doing enough for our country.

 

4. Bharat humko jaan se pyara hai (Roja)



 

This AR Rahman composition is bound to strike an emotional chord.

 

5. Mera rang de (The Legend Of Bhagat Singh)



As you watch the trio of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru walking towards their end, it leaves you with an undying feeling of pride.

 

AND FINALLY…

 

6. Ae mere watan ke logon



 

Can the list be complete without this gem? This heart-wrenching song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar in 1963. Today, 53 years down the line, ask anyone their favourite patriotic song and they’ll name this one.
