Yet another overrated mess badly skewed by Indian IMDb users

Rating: 3/10 (6 September 2019)

"Rang De Basanti" directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is about a woman who wants to depict the freedom fighters from 1920's India in a documentary. As a film, it tries to cover important ground from Indian history, but as with the rest of Bollywood productions, it fails miserably in the attempt.
Strange pacing from beginning to end, and what could be told in less than 90 minutes took almost 180. Awkward rushed editing in spite, an atrociously cheap score, together with several mediocre performances.
To name its few qualities, I thought it did have a slightly interesting developing storyline, as well as decent cinematography and production design with a couple of excellent locations. Aamir Khan brought life to the film with his intuitive wit and impeccable energy as an actor.
Other than that, and as usual from the fiercely overrated Bollywood films in this site, it was a big, long, cheasy mess.
