Bollywood¡¯s take on Indo-Pak conflicts amid Pahalgam attack

As India grieves the tragic Pahalgam attack that took the lives of 26 innocent people, we reflect on the Bollywood films that have portrayed the tension between India and Pakistan over the years.

One of the most intense war dramas ever made, LOC: Kargil tells the real story of the 1999 Kargil War. A film that bleeds patriotism, it echoes the valour of Indian soldiers defending the LoC when peace was just a distant dream.

A rare underwater thriller set during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, this film is about the secret mission that stopped Pakistani submarine PNS Ghazi from attacking Indian waters.

'How¡¯s the josh?' became a national chant after this blockbuster. Uri showcased India¡¯s real-life surgical strike in response to a deadly terror attack¡ªironically echoing the sentiments people feel today after Pahalgam.

Not all war is fought with guns. This Yash Chopra romance explored how borders can separate lovers too. It¡¯s a softer look at Indo-Pak relations, but one that still aches with the pain of division.

Based on the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 war, this film was loud, proud, and packed with war cries. It reminded us that real heroes don¡¯t wear capes¡ªthey wear fatigues.

What happens when your loyalty is to your country¡ªbut you¡¯re married into the enemy? Alia Bhatt plays a spy planted in a Pakistani military family. Raazi is all nerves, secrets, and moral dilemmas at the Indo-Pak border.
