Rang De Basanti - A Masterpiece

rang de basanti

I am just back from the cinema hall… writing here..

…fresh with thoughts…

I am not gonna write a review in here, not now after the movie is running for the 2nd week now and I don’t want to add yet another review in the net! Just my thoughts and what I think about the movie will appear here.

My Take on Rang De Basanti:
People who likes Main Hoon Naa, Garam Masala, Dhoom, etc.. will find this flick dull and boring. I am not sure if this movie find repeat audience.

Now taking about the cast… What can I say? Aamir Khan, Kiron Kher, Anupam Kher, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni, Madhavan, Soha Ali Khan, Sharman Joshi, etc… give a star studded cast with a rocking performance.

I really liked Sharman Joshi’s antics, Atul Kulkarni’s strong emotion filled acting and Soha Ali Khan’s freshness. These three are my favourite, they dint act, they lived the characters.

Aamir Khan is wonderful and he cast a magic web around us. How in hell can he pull off Punjabi-Hindi-English accent? People can this Punhinglish!
However veterans like Om Puri and Anupam Kher looked disposed. I wonder what made Anupam Kher to take up this after what he pulled off in Maine Gandhi ko na mara.

It’s has no 6 romantic numbers shot in foreign locales, no villains, no melodrama and Karan johar style family sentiments. Rang de Basanti (RDB) is a cult movie and is genuine.

Watch this movie with a open mind without any expectations, you might like it. It’s a good movie, but not great movie.

An Entertaining Movie?
And how can they compare with Dil Chata Hai (DCH)? DCH is one of the best movie ever to be made. It was unconventional, fresh and good. DCH was light and entertaining right from the start till the end. RDB was light and had comic moments for the first hour or so only. DCH and RDB are in a totally different league, they should never be drawn for comparison.

Here is my first complaint of the movie.. why are the songs not shown fully? Not even a single songs was full. I was looking forward to see the songs in the big Screen. Ok, maybe as we see all the songs were “blend” into the screenplay, but they could have shown Masti ka Paathshala and Rang De Basanti full without any interruptions. Tu Bin Bataye had scope to be shown fully but it was abrupt as well.


I was inspired!

Yeah, I was inspired after watching the movie and it made me think also. No denying the fact that the movie was thought provoking and will make you think. After returning back home, we couldn’t stop talking and discussing about the movie.

Khoon Chala song and the incident was very inspiring. A lot of things was running in my mind at that time… even the “encounter” at the AIR station was shown in a ironic manner. Atul Kulkarni and Kunal Kapoor bond at the end was also provoking.

Many of the juntas rant about the ending. I can’t understand what’s the fuss is all about. It was the climax which has given such a strong impact to the movie. I was not a flawed ending as many claim.

Here is a quote from Braveheart: “History is written by those who have killed heros”. The same happens with Rang De Basanti.

9/10
