Hindi Patriotic Songs: Yeh Jo Hai Des Hai Tera And Other Tracks That Will Make Your Heart Swell With Pride This Republic Day

There are some days which are specially made for you to get a trip down the memory lanes. Accept it or not, but desi people love to celebrate particular days in particular ways only! But one thing that is common across the nation is the craze of finding a Bollywood connection to it. Republic Day is here and same is the case with this day too. Even if there is always a dim flicker of patriotism in our hearts 24 by 7, listening to the patriotic songs just adds fuel to the feeling all over again. So, assuming that you too are a true filmy fan, here I am sharing the most loved Bollywood patriotic songs which I bet you must be knowing them by- heart!

Sandese Aate Hai- Border: Almost all fans from the 90s generation have burst into tears while watching this song. The soldiers longing for their loved ones and their emotions reflecting through Javed Akhtar's words is simply beyond words. This is clearly Anu Malik's one of the best compositions till date.

Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera- Swades: Shah Rukh Khan's contemplative mind and his eyes longing to return to India is known to everyone. The signature shehnai piece is just as important part of the song as the lyrics, again by Javed Akhtar. A R Rahman's beautiful melody is something that will pull anyone back to their homeland.

Bharat Humko Jaan Se- Roja: The song by A R Rahman got the National Film Award for Best Music Direction which says it all. The Mani Ratnam film starring Arvind Swami and Madhoo got this gem of a musical piece which is rooted deeply in the heart since we were young.

Rang De Basanti- Rang De Basanti: As the Aamir Khan and clan dance with enthusiasm for the pride of the nation, the colourful song reminds us that a little change from our side can make a huge difference. A R Rahman's upbeat song is still fresh as it was when released! So, as we have reminded you the beautiful songs from Hindi Cinema, here take a look at the best patriotic dialogues as well.  Now, plug in your earphones and lose yourself in the atmosphere of the special day. Happy Republic Day!
