Rang De Basanti - A generation awakens

Rang De Basanti - A generation awakens

Has this movie made a difference in you? If not , Is it because of the fact that you have not seen this movie ? If so i would suggest you all to see this one. Its a good bet. Its specifically address our generation. Well why do i say this? Of course it is because i have seen this movie this Saturday with one of my friends at Six Degrees at Satyam Complex.

There were couple of controversies as the movie revolves around the Ministry of Defence and IAF. But at last producers were able to come out with the release of this movie on the scheduled date. I don't see a reason whenever a movies comes from Aamir khan, most of the time controversies start. Is it because of the reason that he takes up an issue in the society and sometimes patriotism as well?

Well if you go with your mind set according to the redefinition laid down by Dil Chahtha Hai for the youth, then will not be able to enjoy this movie. Then whats all Rang De Basanti about to? It has taken its level by one step ahead. This comes out with the message at the end unlike Dil Chahtha Hai.

A London based film maker having read the memoirs of her grand father who had served in the British Troops before Independance to India plans to take it up as a movie. Having inspired by the thoughts penned down by her grand father regarding those fierce freedom fighters, she starts collecting details regarding the same. When she comes to know of the fact that her film had been turned down as the result of budget cuts, she decides to make the movie out of her own efforts at India. Story starts moving around how she identifies the right actors for her movie.Movie starts becoming serious when they loose one of their friend at MIG Crash and that brings in the real crux of the movie.( I don't want to expose the story off here as this might bring down the interest while seeing this movie)

Director has proved himself by bringing in a clear analogy between the Indians ruled by the British and Indians ruled by corrupt politicians today though the plot adopted by director to kill the minister was really cinematic.

A.R.Rahman Scores well. Songs have come out well. All the actors in this movie have put in their efforts to make it 100%.. Its difficult to point out a single non performer.

I have seen two types of directors,

1) One who takes up concept of youth and makes money out of it
2) Other who makes it a masaala movie and make it a super duper hit

But this director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is a third variety who takes both the youth and patriotism and brings out the message out of it.

Does this remind you of a dialogue that comes in the movie ? :)

Well done to the entire team of Rang De Basanti..

Beware: Quite a few Hindi rather Punjabi slangs have been used in the movie. Provided you can understand Hindi to a certain extent, you can make out.. But got to live with it. Otherwise it would have been difficult to bring out the character of Sikh Daljeet Singh from Punjab(Aamir Khan).

Kollywood Industry never comes with stories on great leaders from North. Mostly they stick to south and Bollywood stick to North. If this continues i don't understand how will the stories of all great leaders from entire India reach the new generation. I feel cinema is apt way of making things reach them very soon.Atleast people should start thinking of bringing out the stories of almost all the leaders by taking a approach similar to the director of this movie wherein he brings out the real message out of the story by striking the resemblance with the Freedom Struggle and mixing youth formula in it.

Well if every one start asking what am i going to get out of serving the Nation , probably we may land up in a situation where in we will have to defend ourselves from our enemies. Hats off to people serving at Border!!! We are into a deep sleep as a result of their sleepless nights which we should not forget. Well atleast let the people realise this and let them not involve themselves in buying cheap MIG's and their poor maintenance.
