(L-R) Sidharth Malhotra, Akshay Kumar, Vicky Kaushal

Sidharth Malhotra's portrayal of Captain Vikram Batra in Shershaah left audiences in awe. The film depicted the incredible bravery of Captain Batra, who laid down his life for the nation during the Kargil War.

Malhotra's earnest performance, coupled with his commitment to do justice to the character's essence, resonated with viewers, earning him accolades for his portrayal of this courageous soldier.

Vicky Kaushal: With Uri: The Surgical Strike, he joins the bandwagon of playing a pride-evoking army man on the big screen.

The actor’s film became a hit as he portrayed his character with flare. Vicky’s Josh in the film took over the country in no time making this film one of the biggest hits of that year

Holiday: Akshay Kumar as Virat won several hearts as he looked rather dashing in an army man’s uniform. The actor portrayed the story of an army man saving the city from a series of bomb blasts with utmost perfection

The essence of an army man never being off duty is sprinkled all over this film and shows just how daunting a job it can be to be in the Indian Army as one has to give it priority over everything else. 

Jab tak Hai Jaan: Shah Rukh Khan’s appealing image in an army officer’s avatar seems to have stuck in people’s mind as the actor impressed one and all with his performance in both Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Main Hoon Naa.

Responsible, respected and fearless, SRK showed all the qualities an army man radiates with precision in both films making him win over people’s hearts with ease.

Major Ram is given orders to go undercover as a college student to protect a general's daughter from a rogue soldier.

He even has to fulfil his dying father's desire to reconcile with his family.

Border: Sunny Deol along with the entire cast of Border made a lasting impact on the audience with their performance in the film.

Sunny Deol’s act as a daring soldier is still as fresh in people’s minds as ever as the actor showed the zeal that pulls an army man in times of distress perfectly.

Lakshya: The story of a young man joining the army thinking only of the prestige it brings and not the sacrifice — it was a story that resonated with many Indians, especially the country’s youth.
