Starring a talented cast including Pallavi Joshi, Harsh Chhaya, Shefali Shah, Anju Mahendru and Arun Bali, Aarohan is a 13-episode series that used to air on Doordarshan during the late 1990s. What makes this show unique is its depiction of women joining the armed forces (which was not the case at the time the show was on air).
Produced by Sahara India Pariwar for their channel Sahara One, Mission Fateh is a beautiful portrayal of Kargil War. Each episode shows the story of a different Kargil hero, and rouses the audience with intense pride and patriotism for the nation. What’s more? The series also features Sahara India Chief Subrata Roy’s son in one of the episodes.
The 2004 Hritik Roshan-starrer is a coming-of-age story set against a fictionalized backdrop of the Kargil war. The songs, particularly “Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe”, will give goosebumps to the patriot inside you.
