Vijay Diwas 2022: Bollywood films that honoured the Indian Armed Forces
Indians have a special place in their hearts for Vijay Diwas, which falls on December 16. Every year, it is observed as a means to recognise the courage, persistence, and bravery of the Indian Armed Forces, who helped create Bangladesh by defeating Pakistan in the 1971 war.
On this day in 1971, the combined power of the Indian Army and Bangladesh’s Mukti Bahini forced the commander of the Pakistani army, Lieutenant General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, to submit. As we commemorate the story of the greatest act of patriotism by Indian soldiers, here is a look at some Bollywood films on Indian soldiers who lost their lives for their country.
