While we have a couple of patriotic movies releasing this Independence Day, the list of the upcoming movies releasing next year sounds even more promising. As India gets ready to observes its Independence Day today, we also might buckle up ourselves to witness Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra as they narrate the inspiring stories of valour of our brave soldiers. While Malhotra plays Kargil war hero, Captain Vikram Batra in Shershaah, Ajay plays Squadron leader,  Vijay Karnik, the man remembered for his courage in the 1971 Indo-Pak war in Bhuj: The Pride of India. Independence Day 2021: Five Tricolour-Inspired Dishes To Celebrate Swatantrata Diwas.

But as we say, the list this year is restricted to a mere two movies releasing on OTT.  The upcoming year, however, promises to be even more thrilling with multiple patriotic movies lined up for release. From SS Rajamouli's RRR to Kartik Aaryan's Captain India and Kangana Ranaut's Tejas, Bollywood will witness a string of patriotic movies and here's elaborating on all of them.

RRR 

Starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, RRR by SS Rajamouli is a fictitious tale of two legendary real-life freedom fighters who opposed British rule and fought against the Nizam rule in Hyderabad respectively. RRR Update: Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, Jr NTR Shoot for a Special Song in Hyderabad!
