New Delhi, Aug 15 (TIWN) There was a time when patriotism in Bollywood generally meant war drama packed with the emotions of glory and valour, and the loud assertion of nationalism that often bordered on jingoism. The trend seems to be changing.

Bollywood's new patriotism is challenging traditional formula by driving the narrative towards celebrating heroes and incidents that have made India proud, in the process have stirred a sense of love and pride for the nation.

"The narrative of storytelling has changed. We know what happened during the freedom period, and we have seen lots of movies, documentaries on that. Now, we are exploring individualistic stories, and their challenges," trade analyst Girish Johar told IANS.
