Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Nirmal Sen. The superb direction won the film a National
award.

comrades during the 1930 Chittagong uprising. The film is based on the book Do
And Die by Manini Chatterjee. Though it didn't do that well at the box office,
the story line was heavily applauded by critics.

Chandra Bose. It was premiered at the London Film Festival where it earned

LOC Kargil (2003)
Loc Kargil Poster
JP Dutta brought to life the epic war of Kargil fought by
the Indian army in 1999. It holds the distinction of having the maximum number
of stars in an ensemble cast. With stars like Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan,
Saif Ali Khan and many others, it was the biggest war drama of that generation.
Despite not doing great at the box-office, the film stays dear to hearts of
millions of Indians who have been through the times of the 1999 Kargil Indo-Pak
war.
The Legend Of Bhagat Singh (2002)
The Legend Of Bhagat Singh Poster
While Bhagat Singh's life story has been depicted in numerous films, this
Rajkumar Santoshi-directorial is by far the best. From a crisp storyline to
brilliant performances by Ajay Devgn and co., this movie takes you back to the
pre-Independence era. It won 2 National awards and 3 Filmfare awards.
Border (1997)
Border Poster
This JP Dutta movie is based on the Battle Of Longewala, which was fought
during the Indo-Pak war of 1971. Who can forget the iconic dialogues of Sunny
Deol, Suniel Shetty and co? Even today, Sunny Deol’s dialogues -- filled with
patriotic fervour -- will give you goosebumps. The film won 3 National awards
and 4 FIlmfare awards.
Gandhi (1982)
Gandhi Poster
This is a biopic of Mahatma Gandhi. Directed by Richard Attenborough, this Sir
Ben Kingsley-starrer showed the nitty gritties of our Independence struggle
through the eyes of Gandhiji. It won 8 Oscars that year, which itself is a
proof of how good the movie was.
