RDB - Original

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2006)

Every once in a while a movie comes along that has the effect of making one feel a little disoriented. I went into this movie without the slightest idea of what it was about. Other than the fact that this movie had Aamir Khan and was directed by the same guy who did Aks, I really did not have a clue. I felt the effects of Rang De Basanti (RDB) for the next couple of days  I was disturbed. Recently, the movie that did it to me was "Crash"  that brilliant movie directed by Paul Haggis with an ensemble cast that took on characters with different racial backgrounds and explored the type of impact society stereotypes have created. Of course that's where the similarity ends. "Crash" is Robert Altman meets Spike Lee. RDB is like nothing else  an original piece of work.
