Indian Cinema at its best

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2006)

A brilliant movie with fantastic performances and great music. It sure made my day !!!!!!!!........and the days to come !!!
Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's movie 'Rang De Basanti' is a must-watch for reasons that the length of this review may not suffice to express. More than just a technically brilliant flick, 'Rang De Basanti' has a story that entertains you, makes you think and stirs you deep inside in the end.
The most remarkable part of the movie is the parallel that Mehra draws between the freedom fighters and DJ and his group of friends. The movie keeps transposing the same actors into characters from the past. And then, as the story draws to its conclusion, even these differences in the characters disappear. The modern, city-bread 'young guns' of the twenty first century become one in spirit with the revolutionaries who sacrificed themselves for the country's freedom.
