Rang De Basanti

It was the talk of the town. The whole city was whispering about the new movie which had hit the silver screen. The reviews of this movie were everywhere on the internet. Anxiety got the better of me and decided to finally watch this movie in a theatre on a saturday night with my friends. For the first time ever, i returned back a happy man without disappointment. The movie had far exceeded my expectations and left me spellbound.

Never had i seen a movie which has a story rich of history and a message to tell, which i think, has been done in the best possible way. The movie is a mixture of humor, emotions, drama spiced up with wonderful music by A R Rehman, who never ceases to amaze with his musical talents. The cast for the movie comprises of some experienced stars and a few young actors who play a stellar performance. In short, the movie has tit-bits of everything which can be incorporated.

Rang De Basanti is not a patriotic film. It is infact a movie which underlies a relation between the past and the present. While the past showcases about a couple of freedom fighters lying their lives for the freedom of the country, the present is more on the life of youth filled with cynicsm about India's future and corruption evolving from the grassroots of Indian politics.

It all starts when a British citizen reads her grandfather's biography on Indian freedom fighters, and then decides to come to India to shoot a documentary regarding the same. She comes across group of college-mates filled with zeal and spirit. The college-mates are carefree in nature, without any slightest imagination about what their future holds for them. The youngsters are convinced that nobody can propel the country in the right direction. And it took an herculean task for her to convince them to star in the movie which portrays about martyrs who fought for Indian freedom.

But once they begin enacting the lives of the historical characters, comes the transformation about the outlook of the present and the role they can play to change it. The spirit without them arises and realise that until and unless one doesn't contribute to the welfare of the nation, nothing can ever progress. The death of their close friend ignites the anger within them and they throw up a mini revolution against the corrupt politicians whom they consider as the root cause for all the troubles sprouting in India. They take up the initiative by killing the minister responsible for the death of pilots, who lay down their lives for the safety and welfare of the nation. To bring about a mass uprising, they even end up laying their lives to spread the message across the youths in the country.

The music complements each and every part of the movie. The correlations between the past and the present have been done perfectly. To sum up in short, it is a highly entertaining, entralling and and enlightening movie. A must watch movie for all the citizens of India.
