Rang De Basanti: The most Inspirational, Ambitious and Honest Movie That Every Indian Youth Must Watch

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2015)

Let us start by quoting Movie itself, the Character DJ played by Amir Khan Speak in the movie: There are only two ways to live life: Tolerate things the way they are... Or, take responsibility to change them."
This line portrays beautifully what this movie wants to convey to The Youth of India, that it's time for a wake up call, it's time to work against the injustice, the system, the corruption and the social and economic problems faced in our country.
Rang De Basanti is a story of an English woman who embarks on a journey to find talents in Delhi University to film a documentary on Indian Freedom Fighters, and she finds friendship through the six actors of her Film. The struggle for freedom is relived on screen and off screen simultaneously.
The movie portrays various problems faced in this Incredible Country India like: Social Injustice to various particular sections of society, the problems faced by a foreign woman in India, the Political system, need for introspection by the Indian youth. This movie led to Awakening of Indian youth which affected the Jessica Murder case investigation which was going on while the release of the movie, the movie actually led to candle marches and demonstrations for justice at India Gate. There is no limit for the lines to quote from this Movie but I would like to quote another dialogue: "I think sometimes a person can be pushed so far that they reach a point beyond fear; a place where you find a strange peace, where you free yourself to do the right thing; because sometimes, that's the hardest thing to do."
While the movie plays a part in awakening the youth of India, the movie itself is well made and very well acted with an ensemble cast, the movie pretty much Flows like Poetry and is an example of sheer brilliant film making.
The Direction of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is exceptional and the acting of every actor outshines the story line. The clever way of Storytelling is also used brilliantly by showing the scenes from documentary in the first act and how it changes the actors' character and in the second act the society is shown and the director has tried to show that we are still being oppressed like Colonizers used to.
With extraordinary Music by none other than A R Rahman, this movie scores high in every category. To finish it I would like to quote few lines from the song Rubaroo of this movie: "Aandhiyon Se Jaghad Rahi Hai Lau Meri Ab Mashaalon Si Bhad Rahi Hai Lau Meri"
