very absorbing

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2007)

It is an excellent movie which truly reflects the growing revolutionary-youth-movement in India at present (post 2000). The problem with the MIG flight planes is long, but government has never taken any serious resolution. This movie rightly depicts the situation of a family suffering from this governmental negligence. An Indian army plot dies in a MIG accident. It brings his group of friends start thinking about the social & political problems in India which they always avoided and thought the governmental policies will never going to affect their life directly anyway. This common people's idea fired back and they even determined to give a repartee to the Indian Government. They assassinated the defense Minister and went public by Radio to announce the cause of their inhuman deed. Though the Government took it as a serious offense but their way of protests worked as an eye-opening for common people.
In real life, this movie has already influenced serious public-protests against many governmental policy and some have forced the governmental to go by the public opinion. I would say it a true triumph of democracy and "Rang De Basanti" just plays that right tune.
