Mohe Rang De Basanti........

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2006)

Well from the first trailer i have the feeling this movie is like DCH meeting Sarfarosh and after watching it remains the same
Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is back with a more powerful will than Aks
Rang De Basanti tells the story of five people who only know to do masti all time and how in the end their life changes.
It tells the story of patriotism in a different way.We have seen many movies on Azad and Bhagat Singh.Mehra blends this one in his own intellectual style
So now critics... Well starting from negative points.. Rang de Basanti was a lil bit short of expectations especially cause of sky touching expectations
The movie drags in some parts and even while the muvy is moving you feel the story has got bit stagnant
Music could have been better.
The beating of people while peacefull demonstration seemed to be forced..India is not that much rude now..it was just like people got beaten up during British rules.. Rolling Eyes
And the biggest letdown was ending.It should have been a logical ending.There was no need for 'khoon kharaba'.And the radio scene should have been handled by Aamir himself.Siddarth was quite good in the whole movie but in that scene we needed a powerful punch and dialogues and it could have been done by Aamir only
Now the positives.. A good noble and intellectual story especially for the youth
Patriotism in a new flavoured style
Top class performances by all the star cast.Alice Patten looks cute and acts good.Soha is complete revelation.She looks stunning and acts well Siddharth is quite good with cigarette in his mouth and some pain in eyes.Kunal Kapoor is efficient.Sharman Joshi surprises with his performance.While Atul Kulkarni is brilliant like always
But its Aamir Khan who comes out with a knockout performance.Credit should be given to him for letting all actors so much scope.From the beginning to the end inspite in a streak of powerful performances by others he stands taller than all.After a not upto the mark performance in Mangal Pandey Aamir comes with a vengeance.He makes you sing,laugh and cry too.Bravo Aamir bravo
And thanks to Mr Mehra for making such a nice movie.After a flawfull and overboard Aks this is a welcome back for him.Kudos
From the beginning you will listen a dialogue like this...
'I always believed there are two kinds of people...one who dies screaming and other who dies in silence'
In the end the dialogue changes like this which i don remember exactly but its something like this...
'I always believed there are two kinds of people...one who dies screaming and other who dies in silence'...then i came across the third kind..one who dies laughing...
awesome really awesome dialogue..
And coming to the bo cant say much but i feel it depends much on youths. ....3.5/5
