Rang De Basanti: Superb
All the main characters in this movie laugh and have fun in the beginning. In the end, they are still laughing and having fun. But, the real essence of 'Rang De Basanti' lies in the middle of all this - when they cry and their hearts are stirred.
That - of fun-loving Gen X guys and girls crying and feeling the need for a patriotic tinge to life - makes this movie a must-watch movie.
Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has woken up himself and a generation of young film-goers for whom Life is "fun" and "cool". The lesson that he imparts through his movie is something that every young Indian should learn.
'Rang De Basanti' succeeds mainly because it takes a movie like 'Yuva' further. Unlike 'Yuva', where at the exact moment when a glimmer of hope coincided with the end of the movie, RDB gives the hope and the possible conclusion.
RJ Aamir Khan is great and the scene that introduces him is super. Siddharth gets the opportunity of a lifetime and plays the role brilliantly. Maddy, and the other actors, do their roles well. As an aspiring film-maker, Sue (Alice Pattern) shows a variety of emotions and succeeds in enthralling the viewer.
The parallels that the director draws from the past and the present is truly innovative. Rahman's music totally rocks; 'Rooba roo' stands out.
On the whole, 'Rang De Basanti' is a movie that everyone should watch. It's totally worth the ticket money.
