Straight to the point, I am going to list here some amazing movies that you should definitely catch on your OTT platforms. These movies are not purely based on freedom struggle or independence movement but they are more about how you can lead a better life in the post-independence era and post-coronavirus times. These movies give a fresh breath of air for you to learn more about the meaning of life rather than sticking to the materialistic gains in life. These movies are more about how every Indian should consider spending his life for the remaining years of his life in harmony and peace. So, give a break from all the violence and hatred in your mind and enjoy these interesting films on your TV or laptop, or smartphone screens on this Independence Day. Watch these films with subtitles if you don’t understand the regional languages.

1) Maara:
This film released in 2021 stars Shraddha Srinath and R. Madhavan in key roles. Although the film has less screen presence of the male actor and is more about how the female lead falls in love with the male lead even without meeting him, it has more about artistic work, creativity, and living life closest to nature. Many times we get busy watching so many crime dramas and believing that only violence exists in the world. This leads us to lose our peace of mind just by staying at home. It has a love story of 50 years and also shows us the problems of aged people. If you catch this film, you will really cherish the amazing natural visuals and the soothing songs while you are wanting to know what happens at the end of the film.
2) Thank You:
This film features Naga Chaitanya as the main lead with Raashi Khanna as the female lead with others. The film revolves around Naga Chaitanya’s part AbhiRam – how he gains success in his life from being a village student to set up a business empire in a foreign country. Abhiram is materialistically quite successful and even has a live-in girlfriend but he is not satisfied in his life and wants to keep achieving more. In his journey towards achieving more, he hurts several others who willingly helped him when he had nothing. His soul comes to meet him to tell him how wrong he is doing and takes him to meet all the people from his teenage to adulthood. He thanks each one of them for their role in his life towards success and that forms the crux of the story.
3) Venky Mama:
This film is again a family drama in which a military head leaves his job just to take care of his sister’s child. The film revolves around sacrifices that an uncle-nephew duo do during their life’s journey just so that they can stay together in their home. Despite getting disgraced for their life’s choices, the uncle-nephew duo helps each other to build their relationship based on genuine love and pure affection for each other.
Apart from the above flicks, you can watch patriotic films like Mission Mangal, Major, Anek, Article 15, Parmanu, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, and Uri: The Surgical Strike, among others.
