Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2006)

I went to see this film last night outside New York City. I LOVED IT! The only part of the evening I didn't enjoy was the racial profiling of the ticket collector. A line was forming and I was about 20 minutes early for the movie and asked the ticket collector what movie this line was for, all he said was "the American movies are over there" and directed me to the other side of the building. Then I showed him my Rang De Basanti ticket and he said "it's right here." And that was it. But I digress.
The movie was excellent. The pace was great, the acting was great, and it was exactly the sort of Bollywood fun I expect every time I see a movie. They were pretty scarce on the song and dance routines though. I was sort of disappointed I took my friend to see this as his first Bollywood movie, it ruined the surprise because it was REALLY good and wasn't cheesy (don't get me wrong, I love the cheese).
