How Can Anyone Agree With The Subject Matter?

Rating: 1/10 (3 October 2006)

This film was good, but that is all. I can not in good conscience give it any higher a vote than 5 strictly because of the actions taken by the main characters. In American movies there is much more killing than in 'Rang de Basanti' but I believe the American 'killings' are construed as cool, which is a problem. But not so much a problem as the murders perpetrated in RDB. These murders are portrayed as just, and when we start condoning vigilante justice we are consenting to a degradation of democratic values. I have recently just moved to India and if there is one thing this country needs less than vigilante heroes's, I have yet to see it.
