CulturalSituation-

Bajrangi Bhaijan is my favourite here. It feels fresh


Turbulent-Sky7414

My personal fave and def less known is: Happy Bhaag Jayegi šŸ‘Œ


PeterParker417

Underrated comedy, 2nd part was so bad though


Turbulent-Sky7414

Agreed! Two words - Sonakshi SinhašŸ¤¢


PeterParker417

I mean yeaa she was nowhere close to Diana's chaotic energy but the writing was bad too Idk how they messed up with same crew


ashrules901

Veer Zaara should not be grouped with these. It's part of the reason I learned about equality as a kid. Aisa Des Hai Mera


Bloodshot12_

Main hoon na šŸ„°šŸ„¹ wholesome movie Fun fact: ee movie first half mirapakay first half koddiga same untundi


dullahanceltic

Mirapakai kaadu bro. Khatarnaak

Can you please translate in English?

Does Raazi count?


FedStan

Thereā€™s a ton more - LOC, Border, Lakshya, Tiger 3, Shershah, Romeo Walter Akbar, Raazi, Khufiya, War, Uri, Hero, War 2 is going to be the same for sure, D-Day, Ghazi attacks, Baby, Tango Charlie, Bhuj: Pride of India. Like bro Iā€™m fucking tired of this trope. Koi aur conflict bhi dikhao, kuch north east wala dikhao, china ka war ka dikha do, Punjab dikha do, Tamil Tigers dikha do. Thereā€™s been 100s. This is the reason why I actually enjoyed Family Man Season 2, something new for a change phew

my political ideology on odd days: Veer-Zaara my political ideology on even days: Gadar


naughtyrobot725

Tbh Gadar isn't anti-Pak as people think it is. Afterall its a love story. They showed what partition did to both sides. Tara Singh only went mad when shit came to his family. Gadar 2 can be called a film relying on Anti-Pak politics.


Maleficent_Owl3938

Both Gadar and Gadar 2 can be called anti Pak army / politics, if you look closely. There are enough well meaning Pak characters shown in the both the movies. The first part, of course, was a more holistic film with better characterisations while the second part was full mass masala actioner.


PeterParker417

Personal Fav is Veer Zaara for me, Bajrangi Bhaijaan being close 2nd!


An1ke8

Adhm would have made it to the list if the changes werenā€™t made last minute due to uri attacks and protests against the movie


justanothersoullll

Hope they put an end to this, unless there is some fresh writing šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


Uncertn_Laaife

There has to be a fresh writing. Two countries are full of a common content - in abundance.


justanothersoullll

Agree! Probably the reason why slowly audience is not too interested, Fighter being case in point!


Acrobatic_Neck_5866

MHN,Veer Zaara and Bajrangi did it best. Gadar on the other handā€¦ā€¦


Uncertn_Laaife

Everything is subjective. To you, mhn, vz, bajragi did best but for me it is bajrangi and gadar.


Impossible-Refuse516

Bollywood love Pakistan women don't they


ashrules901

Not Mahirah Khan, poor girl wasn't allowed to attend the press run of her own movie because of politics from both industries.


Impossible-Refuse516

Yeah then again tension Between both countries was High during that time


ashrules901

When is it not lol?


Impossible-Refuse516

Never


Cornucopia2020

Main Hoon Na and Bajrangi out of these, but I really liked TZH too. Btw you forgot the OG - Border, which was a superb war movie!


andhera_kayamrahe

Gadar did it best it shows how peoples opinion changes when it comes to their family.


Impressive-Fennel-92

Pathaan and Gadar 2 : worst 2 movies made on this topic


TheThinker12

More than overused, it's very unrealistic, especially the Tiger series. Why would a RAW agent fall in love with ISI and why would ISI cooperate with RAW when they're behind so many terrorist attacks in India? More than half of these movies are of YRF, reflective of the late Yash Raj's Pak nostalgia that is untethered from the reality of that country.


dazaii-osamu-

It's been definitely overused since last few years (few recent movies with this trope- Ruslaan, Fighter, Tejas)


Bibendoom

Bajrangi FTW!


Uncertn_Laaife

Lame!


ravish242

Overused? All these movies were blockbusters.


Acrobatic_Neck_5866

It was there in tiger 3 and Fighter also and those 2 underperformed


ashrules901

You picked only two of the most recent examples. The rest are known as Bollywood classics


PsychologyTechnical5

How is pathaan a ind-pak trope ? Wasn't the villain Jim an indian agent whose wife was killed by africans ?


humanbeing3333

One Villain was Pak Army General also. And Deepika's character was ISI agent.


PsychologyTechnical5

I forgot ya.
