The very best that Indian cinema has to offer

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2016)

This is such an amazing film. It's more than a film. It's a cinematic masterpiece. It engages brilliantly with themes of corruption, independence, patriotism and loyalty.
Rang De Basanti focuses on the young British female-maker Sue who travels to India to make a film about Indian Revolutionaries. She casts five young men in the roles and whilst they are initially hesitant, they grow more and more into the roles until they become revolutionaries themselves. They fight for freedom from their oppressive families and their oppressive culture. This was a really interesting backdrop for the film.
Stylistically the film is also brilliant. The main narrative is interspersed with flashbacks showing the original Indian revolutionaries.
