THESE movies are based on the life of Indian Armed Forces!

Mumbai (Maharashtra): Movies and shows set against the backdrop of the Indian Armed Forces have always done well with the Indian audience. Right from flocking to watch the great King Khan in Fauji to movies like Border along the way to the present, the theme has always had a strong following. We visit four contemporary films based on the life of the Indian Armed Forces!

1. Uri: The Surgical Strike

This Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam starrer, produced by Ronnie Screwvala, was Aditya Dhar’s directorial debut. The film was a major success (no pun intended) at the box office and the dialogue – ‘How’s the josh?’ has been culturally relevant ever since.

2. Undaunted

Based on Bhaavna Arora's book 'Undaunted' and produced by Jay Shewakramani, the movie will follow the inspiring journey of Lt. Ummer Fayaz, who set an example for fellow Kashmiris to break the cycle of violence with his short tenure in the Army.

3. Major

Adhering to the successful trend of pan-Indian films, this Telugu and Hindi biographical action drama is produced by Sony Pictures International Productions, GMB Entertainment and A+S Movies. The Sashi Kiran Tikka directorial stars  Adivi Sesh in his Hindi film debut along with  Prakash Raj, Sobhita Dhulipala, Saiee Manjrekar, and Revathi, Murali Sharma and Anish Kuruvilla.

4. Shershaah

The biographical war film starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani was produced by Dharma Productions and Kaash Entertainment. The film was a smashing hit and saluted the valour, courage and bravery of Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra.
