Republic day is just around the corner! The biggest event of the day is the parade in Delhi which is broadcasted to the whole country. But what to do after the big event? There are not many things to do on a national holiday when all have shut shop and are holidaying, but with a little bit planning, you can have a super time in the comfort of your own home. Fire up your movie collection, cozy up on a couch with popcorn and watch some patriotic and some underrated indie movies.

So here's a list of 7 movies to entertain you throughout the day.

Chittagong
Set in the turbulence of the 1930s British India, a 14 year old boy, Jhunku, and his journey to find where he belongs. For the first time in Indian history, the British army is defeated by a ragtag army of schoolboys and their teacher, Masterda. Called a traitor by his peers, and let down by a man he trusts, Jhunku impulsively joins the movement. As his world is turned upside down, Jhunku is forced to confront his self-doubts. As the leaders of the movement are progressively caught or killed, Jhunku battles against seemingly insurmountable odds to win a victory of his own. The film is an exciting action-drama, made more so by the fact that it is true.
