By bringing these characters to life with authenticity and passion, these actors have ensured that the spirit of the Indian armed forces continues to inspire generations.
Kartik Aaryan in Chandu Champion
Kartik Aaryan’s portrayal of Major Murlikant Patekar, an inspirational figure known for his bravery and indomitable spirit was one the actor’s finest. With the eight-minute intense war sequence Kartik showcased passion and later in the film displayed the indomitable spirit of our brave soldiers in other aspects of life.
Shah Rukh Khan in Jawaan
Shah Rukh Khan portrayed a stoic and determined army officer in ‘Jawaan’. His character, infused with the gravitas and charisma that SRK is known for, struck a chord with audiences, blending intense action with deep emotional undertones.
Siddharth Malhotra in Shershaah
Siddharth Malhotra’s portrayal of Captain Vikram Batra in ‘Shershaah’ is one of his most celebrated performances in recent times. The film highlighted the immense bravery and patriotism of Captain Batra and Siddharth’s commitment to embodying the character with respect and authenticity was evident.
Vicky Kaushal in Uri: The Surgical Strike
Vicky Kaushal’s role in ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ became an iconic portrayal of modern-day military operations. Vicky’s intense performance, particularly his delivery of the line “How’s the Josh?”, became a national catchphrase, capturing the spirit of the film and the bravery of the Indian soldiers.
Sunny Deol in the Border Franchise
Sunny Deol’s performance in the ‘Border’ franchise laid the groundwork for patriotic films in Bollywood.
