12 motivational scenes from Bollywood movies you might like to revisit this Republic Day!

It’s our 74th Republic Day and here are some motivational scenes from Bollywood movies that serve as the perfect way to celebrate this day!

Bollywood has always been a hub for patriotic movies. While the stories are about igniting feelings of love and patriotism for your country, the one thing that stands out the most amongst these movies are their motivational scenes. Be it an impactful speech that is so well written you’ll know it by heart or sometimes a scene with no dialogues and exemplary background music is enough to make the audience feel motivated. The motivation too can be of various kinds. Some might feel motivated to do better for our country and some might feel motivated to achieve their long term goals in life. These scenes and speeches from patriotic movies highlight the essence of our culture and what we stand for as citizens of India. Our principles, how we strive to work hard and live an honest life is all so well embodied by the main protagonists of these films. 

From ‘How’s the Josh?’ in Uri to ‘Vatan ke aage kuch nahi, khud bhi nahi’ in Raazi, we’ve all had goosebumps and got teary eyed after watching these scenes. Or that ‘sattar minute’ speech from Chak De India which honestly would not be the same without Shahrukh Khan. It's still given as an example years after its release, to go out there and get what you wanna achieve. Or you can also go back to watching classics like Border, Swades and Lagaan. Even a movie like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham that’s as far as it could be from the patriotic genre, still celebrates the beauty of being Indian. We all know Anjali is the flag bearer of ‘Saare jahaan se acha Hindustan humara’ and that scene of her son singing the national anthem with his entire class is etched in our hearts.
