This comes a little late in the day. Outlook, in its 21 May 2007 issue featured a cover story on Patriotism in Indian (read Bollywood) cinema. It carried the results of an opinon poll. One question was "Which is your favourite patriotic film?" Three ARR films figured in the Top 10, Lagaan at No 2, RDB at No 4 and Swades at No 10. Another question was 'Favourite patriotic song" and Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna, Vande Mataram and Mere Rang De Basanti Chola figured in the Top 10. However, it's not clear if these were the ARR-composed versions since no composers/singers were credited.
