Rang de basanti-a humble review


Well ,I am no big journalist to give a savvy description of a movie but if I were to put my two cents anyway I would definitely give this movie a whole lotta credit than it deserves,perhaps even better than Dil Chahta Hai..It definitely is a mover and shaker.

The concept is a bull’s eye and is sure to reach out to million’s of hearts both young and old, alike.The stars completely fit the role and have played their characters excellently.
The movie juxtaposes bhagat singh’s time as a part of a documentary(film) being shot in the movie and the story of the jolly and vibrant college crowd ,mainly consisting of a handful of best buddies.Even the foreigner seen in the promos has done a commendable acting.

Well at least the timing is more than perfect since the politics raj is going berserk .It does awaken patriotism in one and gets you thinking.

The story basically begins with Sue(Alice Patten),a young filmmaker who wants to shoot a film on Bhagat Singh and bring out the glorious past of our then young freedom fighters.She finds DJ(Amir Khan), Karan(Siddarth), Sukhi(Sharman Joshi), Aslam(Kunal Kapoor), Sonia(Soha Ali Khan), to fit the roles in her film perfectly,but she has a hard time convincing them to actually feel proud of their country,which they have no regard for.In the due course of the shooting their lives and their perspective change forever.Madhavan plays Sonia’s fiancé working as a Pilot who has a more optimistic opinion about his country and quite proud and patriotic,in contrast to his best buddies.

In my opinion.the ending is what that strikes the hearts.The message is quite strong and leaves the audience really awestruck.

The music reaches the hearts and the melodious tunes lingers even as one leaves the theatres and maybe even longer.AR Rehman’s magic has struck again.The tunes are really catchy and melodious.He surely has aimed at the the younger gemeration when he must have created the peppy numbers which lets you tapping the feet.

Well overall,the movie has caught a lot of attention and one can really say “A Generation Awakens”……
