From ‘Border’ to ‘LOC Kargil’, many films based on patriotism have been made in Hindi cinema. Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta starrer ‘Lakshya’ is also one of these films. ‘Lakshya’, based on the Kargil war, was released in theaters on 19 June 2004 and now it has been 20 years since the release of this film.
