Happy Father's Day 2022: Top 5 Bollywood films on fatherhood

The most precious relationship will always be between a parent and their children. Having a father who stands by your side, encourages you, and protects you is no less than a blessing. However, parenthood is more than that, and here are five Bollywood films that best portray the father-child bond. These films depict the various aspects, soulfulness, and emotions that come with becoming a father. So, readers, immerse yourself in the emotions of parenthood and learn what it takes to be a father.

Amitabh Bacchan in Piku

Shoojit Sircar’s Piku deals with a much different and mature father-daughter bond. Piku played by Deepika Padukone and his father’s relationship is different but precious from any other story. Being based on Bhaskor Banerjee’s (played by Amitabh Bacchan) significant problem, the movie very beautifully dealt with the daughter’s emotions towards his father. And unlike other Bollywood dads, Bhaskor’s feminist ideology was what made the movie a must-watch. Piku will always be a wholesome movie with a refreshing take on parenting.

Naseeruddin Shah in Masoom

Naseeruddin Shah’s character of DK from Masoom was a role ahead of its time. The movie dealt with so many aspects of life that tingled in one story. The movie revolves around DK, whose life is clouded by the presence of his son and the guilt of infidelity. However, the way the movie moves forward and shows every emotion of fatherhood is what makes it worthy to be on this list. Moreover, not just Masoon but Naseeruddin Shah has played some brilliant roles as a father and showed a different aspect of fatherhood in Bollywood films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Gehrayiyan. These roles have pushed the boundary of what being a father actually means.

Irrfan Khan in Angrezi Medium

Angrezi Medium is a comedy-drama about a father played by late actor Irrfan Khan, who is determined to help his daughter, played by Radhika Madan in achieving her dream of studying in London. And just like any other middle-class family, Angrezi Medium also shows gaps in their relationship, as they are in any father-daughter relationship. But the beauty of this bond is that, despite being restricted to words or emotions, it doesn’t lessen the connection of this beautiful bond, and a movie like Angrezi Medium makes sure to highlight it.

Anupam Kher in Wake Up Sid

The movie, based on the journey of self-discovery, also shows the beautiful bond between a father and his son. Never before has the father-son equation played out so well in any film. Ram Mehra (Anupam Kher) who’s a successful entrepreneur and is also appalled by his only son Siddharth Mehra’s (Ranbir Kapoor) ignorance and non-serious ways. Leading to the road of hard work and self-discovery is when Sid realises the true emotion of parenthood. The one scene where he presents his first cheque to his father and then the conversation they have later is everything. Ram Mehra’s soft embrace of his long-lost son and Sid’s changed approach towards his mother is what makes Wake Up Sid special.

Pankaj Kapoor in Gunjan Saxena

No matter how many films portray the father-daughter relationship, there will always be space for more. The Bollywood film Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, based on the life of the first Indian woman to join the Indian Air Force, is not only for those who are looking for inspiration but also for those who understand family emotions and bonds. The film beautifully portrays Gunjan’s relationship with her father and also tells the world how if a father stands strong behind his daughter, she will achieve great heights. Gunjan Saxena, who herself is a fearless, motivated, and determined individual, looks for her dad in trouble. Moreover, she’s able to fulfil her life-long dream only because it was his father who always stood as a pillar of strength and support for her.

The Prime Minister’s remarks came in response to an X user who had shared a video of the film’s trailer, which was released on Friday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’, based on 2002 Godhra train incident, saying the truth is coming to out.

He expressed his thoughts on social media platform X, saying, “Well said. It is good that this truth is emerging, especially in a manner accessible to the general public. A deceptive narrative can only last for so long. Ultimately, the facts will prevail!”

The Prime Minister’s remarks came in response to an X user who had shared a video of the film’s trailer, which was released on Friday.

‘The Sabarmati Report’ focuses on the tragic incident involving the burning of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station in Gujarat on February 27, 2002, resulting in the deaths of 59 Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya. This event ignited widespread riots in Gujarat that year.

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, the film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan, and Anshul Mohan, and features actors Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna, and Ridhi Dogra.

In response to PM Modi’s commendation, producer Ekta Kapoor expressed her gratitude, highlighting that his praise provided a significant morale boost for the film’s team. Resharing the Prime Minister’s post, she wrote in Hindi on X: “Respected Prime Minister, thank you very much for your encouraging words about #TheSabarmatiReport. They have invigorated our spirits. Your recognition of #TheSabarmatiReport confirms that we are on the right path. Thank you for your love and support.”

This is not the first instance of PM Modi praising a film. In 2022, he lauded Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’. He stated, “History must be conveyed in the correct context. Books, poetry, literature, and films all play a crucial role in this. You’ve likely heard the discussions surrounding ‘The Kashmir Files’; it has certainly ruffled the feathers of those who champion freedom of expression.” The film depicts the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley and features Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar, among others.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday lauded the team of Amaran including film starrer Sai Pallavi and Sivakarthikeyan as well as director Rajkumar Periasamy for capturing the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan in his film.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said that he watched the film at the invitation of veteran actor Kamal Haasan

“I watched a movie yesterday #amrnnn after accepting the invitation of my artist friend @ikamalhaasan. It’s great to bring true stories to today’s youth in the form of books – as well as movies! Director @Rajkumar_KP, Major Mukund Varadarajan – Tirumiku has emotionally captured the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan. My congratulations to all the crew of Thambi @Siva_Kartikeyan, @Sai_Pallavi92 and #Amaran for portraying the roles of Indu Rebecca Varghese very well! Big Salute to our soldiers who protect the country – Major Mukund Varadarajan who lives in our memory! @RKFI @gvprakash,” Stalin posted on X.

Recently, the creators of Amaran released the film’s trailer, featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the titular role of Major Mukund Varadarajan. The film narrates the compelling story of the decorated soldier who commanded the Indian Army’s 44 Rashtriya Rifles Cheetah Company and made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Sai Pallavi joins the cast as well, and the film is premiering today.

The trailer opens with a striking statement from an officer to Major Mukund: “You do not choose 44 RR; 44 RR chooses you,” effectively setting the tone for the heroism depicted in the film. It offers glimpses into Major Mukund’s personal life, showcasing his family’s reaction to his choice to join the military and the love story he shares with Indhu, portrayed by Sai Pallavi.

Intense action sequences illustrate Major Mukund, as played by Sivakarthikeyan, in battle, where he resolutely declines a retreat order from his superior, asserting, “I’ll save every life I can and come back, sir.” Indhu expresses her pride, stating, “I am proud of him being an army officer and me being an army wife.” A poignant moment captures Sivakarthikeyan’s character stating, “This is the face of the Indian army,” highlighting his unwavering determination.

Kamal Haasan, one of the film’s producers, shared the trailer on social media, stating, “Leaders seldom choose a trodden path. They create one where there is none and blaze a new trail. #MajorMukundVaradarajan of Tamil Nadu is one such leader. We take pride in telling his story.”

Inspired by the true events chronicled in Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh’s book “India’s Most Fearless”, Amaran serves as a tribute to a genuine hero. The trailer has been released in various languages, with notable personalities such as Nani promoting it in Telugu, Tovino Thomas in Malayalam, Shiva Rajkumar in Kannada, and Aamir Khan in Hindi.

The trailer concludes on an emotional note, featuring Major Mukund’s daughter asking Indhu, “You told me appa will come for my birthday, will he come?”

Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by the iconic Kamal Haasan, alongside R. Mahendran and Sony Pictures International Productions, Amaran poignantly tells the story of Major Mukund Varadarajan and his wife Indhu, encapsulating their journey of love, sacrifice, and the profound personal losses encountered during Major Varadarajan’s heroic service to the nation.
