Rang de Basanti tells historic tale

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2007)

Rang de basanti is a very good example of what happened during the struggle of Indian Independence in 1919. This movie tells the other (armed) struggle for independence. Where the movie Gandhi from Sir Richard Attenborough only tips this topic,in Rang de Basanti the why of the Amritsar Massacre gets explained. Also it shows that actually nothing really chanced in the 60 years since India gained Independence. Government is still corrupted, while the people in the streets die of hunger. Together with the movie Gandhi this movie shows the struggle of Indian Independence and what happened in the 60 years after that. Too bad that this movie didn't got the recognition it deserves at the Academy Awards 2006 in the category best foreign movie.
