Rang De Basanti -A Review

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2006)

VOte for this wonderful movie..that will not only bring tears to your eyes.. but also make you feel good... with its own philosophy and popular take on the Indian scenario... political and otherwise... it questions the meaning of freedom.. to the Indian people and whether this is true freedom.. aka from corruption etc The flash backs to the independence struggle pre-gandhian era... aka bhagat singh.. are especially well made in sepia tint... and capture the spirit of the independence struggle very well and merges it with the current scenario..where the apathetic actors slowly awaken to question their role in society.. and how aware and active they are in socio-political arena..they awaken to the facts of life... post the traumatic death of their friend.. and hence the by-line "a generation awakens".
The film depicts the general apathy of the youth towards the current political system... where politics is anathema to most educated youths of the country... a commentary on the system gone wrong where the struggle should have been against the system and not its perpetrators alone...
