Hindi films and series that are all about exemplary acts of bravery: Neerja, Airlift and more
When it comes to tales of courage in the face of adversity, the ones that come to mind, more often than not, involve an officer in a uniform, especially from the army. But every now and then, one also comes across stories of immense bravery, where individuals put the greater good ahead of their own well-being. Here's a look at some of these tales that are available on OTTplay Premium. Neerja and Airlift Films on OTT about men and women who were not in uniform and yet showed bravery Based on a true story, this is about a courageous airhostess, Neerja, who decided to save passengers during a hijack. She rescued all the passengers, only to end up losing her life while on duty. Her act of bravery was adapted for the big screen years later and left many with a sense of pride for her sacrifice. Kay Kay Menon's Himmat Singh in Special Ops leads a special team that investigates urgent matters in detail when the system he works for fails him again-and-again. The story, which began with the Parliament attack, escalated to humans vs. AI in the second season. Akshay Kumar's Ranjit Katiyal was just another businessman who could have chosen to abandon thousands and save his family during the Iraq-Kuwait tensions in 1990. Taking on the challenge, he airlifted thousands and rescued them out of the war zone along with the help of his wife, Amrita Katiyal (Nimrat Kaur). One lawyer decided to go up against the Godman. Manoj Bajpayee, in the role of PC Solanki, is the very lawyer who took on a case that seemed impossible to win. He did not just win the case but also ensured full justice for the victim. The most recent example of men and women winning without the military uniform was seen in The Hunt - The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case. A CBI team cracked the case of former PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in times when technology nearly didn't exist.

‘Silent Night Guards, Warmth In A Cold, Uncaring City': Disha Parmar Posts After SC's Stray Dog Order
Instead of complete 'erasure' of an entire community, Disha Parmar asked for sterilisation programs, regular vaccination drives, community feeding zones, and adoption campaigns. The Supreme Court's recent order to relocate all stray dogs from the streets of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) into shelters has triggered a nationwide debate. Joining the growing list of celebrities voicing their opposition to the directive, television actress Disha Parmar has recently shared a petition condemning the verdict. Known for popular shows like Pyaar Ka Dard Hai—Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, the actress dropped a post on social media and advocated for more humane solutions. Instead of complete 'erasure' of an entire community, she asked for sterilisation programs, regular vaccination drives, community feeding zones, and adoption campaigns. Disha Parmar's Post Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared a powerful message that read, 'They call it a menace. We call it a heartbeat. Today, the Supreme Court says — take every stray dog off the streets of Delhi-NCR and lock them away. No sunlight. No freedom. No familiar faces they greet every morning." 'But these aren't just stray dogs. They are the ones who wait outside your tea stall for a biscuit. They are the silent night guards for shopkeepers. They are the tails wagging when children return from school. They are the warmth in a cold, uncaring city," it added. While acknowledging the issues surrounding stray dogs, Parmar advocated for more humane solutions. She stated, 'Yes, there are problems, bites, and safety concerns, but caging an entire community of animals is not a solution, it's an erasure. The real fix? Large-scale sterilisation programs, regular vaccination drives, community feeding zones, and adoption campaigns. Not punishment. Not imprisonment." 'A society that can't protect its voiceless is a society losing its soul. Today it's the dogs. Tomorrow… who will it be? Raise your voice. Because they don't have one," the post concluded. Other Celebrities' Reactions Well, Disha Parmar is not alone in condemning the ruling. Other celebrities including, Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Bhumi Pednekar, Adivi Sesh, Rupali Ganguly and Janhvi Kapoor, have also spoken out against the Supreme Court order. Comedian Vir Das even urged users to adopt an indie dog. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Vir Das wrote, 'If you are a resident of Delhi. Can I persuade you to adopt an indie off the streets, more than one? They are extremely healthy, low maintenance, and will provide you with more love, affection, and gratitude than you could ever imagine." If you are a resident of Delhi. Can I persuade you to adopt an indie off the streets, more than one? They are extremely healthy, low maintenance, and will provide you with more love affection and gratitude than you could ever imagine.
