The 3 best patriotic movies of SRK!

Swades

Directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, and starring Shah Rukh Khan and Gayatri Joshi, came out in 2004 and has remained as one of the most stellar performances of SRK. This movie shows Khan’s initial journey which is focussed on his expatriate roots while working with NASA.

Except for other films, Swades doesn’t track a dynamic route to patriotism but is possibly one of the most direct and genuine expressions of the same. Calm and collected way to voice their love for the country, it also takes Khan’s acting personality to newer heights.

Chak de! India

Chak de! India is inspired by the India women’s national field hockey team’s win at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. This is the 2007 sports drama film Chak De! India stars Shah Rukh Khan as Kabir Khan, who is the former captain of the India men’s national field hockey team.

In the film, because of the injustice that happened to him, his patriotism completely is about his job. This is where Chak De India becomes relatable. Kabir Khan’s struggles bore a resemblance to those faced by real-life hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi.

Jawaan

Jawaan was the first venture of Tamil filmmaker Atlee and Shah Rukh Khan. Jawan stands tall as a poignant and thought-provoking addition to the genre of patriotic cinema. The film is a fitting tribute to the spirit of our armed forces.

The screenplay, co-written by Sharma and Anjali Desai, strikes a fine balance between intense action sequences and poignant moments. It’s a must-watch for all cinephiles.
