This Sharan Sharma directorial is currently streaming on Netflix. Their lovely father-daughter bond was the backbone of this biopic about one of the first Indian woman pilots in combat. What shined here were the performances of the main cast, specifically Pankaj Tripathi and Janhvi Kapoor.
Starring Janhvi Kapoor in the titular role, Gunjan Saxena released last year to a largely positive response, despite facing some amount of backlash from the Indian Air Force for the sexist representation.

You can watch Dhoop on Amazon Prime Video. What makes Dhoop different is that it is not only a war movie in the traditional sense of the genre, but it also seeks to highlight the government’s corruption, who, while promising to honour the soldier’s memories, also ends up making a mockery of his sacrifice with their actions. How his partner Gul Panag, and his parents Om Puri and Revathi, come to terms with such a massive, irrevocable loss forms the crux of the story.
Inspired by the life of Captain Anuj Nayyar who was martyred in the war, the film looked at the toll war takes on families of soldiers. Sanjay Suri played martyred Captain Rohit Kapoor who is killed during the Kargil conflict. This 2003 Ashwini Chaudhary movie, based on the Battle of Tiger Hill (a battle fought between the Indian and Pakistani army around the Tiger Hill during the Kargil War), is a poignant and humane look at the aftereffects of war.
