Must see for all, specially those who say - Is Desh Ka Kuchh Nai Hoga!

How many times do we curse our politicians, our system, our own nation, how many times a day? Everyone knows that problems are there, but to get set into a mentality where you just accept things is even bigger problem. In a democracy, people are equally responsible for the condition of the country. I had very less idea about the movie before it got released. When the movie was over, I was really awestruck. A bold, bold movie by the director and amazing performances by everyone. Aamir Khan redeemed himself after the Mangal Pandey - The Sinking (Rising)! Siddharth, Kunal Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Atul Kulkarni, Soha Ali Khan, and Alice Patten, all share the screen with amazing compatibility and ease. No character tried to overshadow the other, not even Aamir Khan's DJ. The director has done a great job. The comparison between Dyer ordering the firings at Jalian Wala Bagh and our Minister ordering firings against protesters is most well presented. It makes a mark instantly. Dyer did it as his duty to the British Empire. But our ministers do it for their own selfish benefits. There have been many movies based on patriotic pasts of India, but still RDB comes across as a fresh movie. The presentation matters after all. RDB is moving, inspiring, invigorating. After Yuva, Rang De Basanti is another must-see movie for our young generation. Things are not going to change by themselves. We have to make the government, the system more accountable for their actions. At the same time, we have to share the responsibility too. Nothing will come on a platter to us. But if we have to fight for it, then better fight rather than keep accepting things.
