![]() Few new ideas presented by the author looked half-baked. Well the most wanting part of the whole thing has been the script to certain extent, it appears very loose in the second half and at times gives a droning feel. He appears so natural and his complete look with new hairstyle (which is now part of his every new movie) gives a very striking combination. He is extremely fluent even with difficult Punjabi tongue twisters and the acting prowess he has shown would be very difficult to match by anyone around. ![]() His comic timing in the first part is better than anything seen in recent past. The brilliance of Aamir Khan is something very difficult to narrate, he has proved it umpteen number of times that he is truly the most versatile actor in the industry. Rehman doesn't need any introductions and he is surely one of the most original music directors we have in the country. The songs give you a sense of freedom from within, a freedom to think in one's own way. Music is another high point of the show, its foot tapping and very much with the mood of the subject. Hence creating an appeal for everyone watching it. The director has made sure that there is a clear message in everything he presents, even the group of boys represents different sects of society and religion. This is followed by some intriguing drama and events which turns the life of a group of buddies upside-down altogether. The way the campus scenes are shown really makes everyone go down the memory lanes of beautiful college days. The movie starts on a very high spirit reflecting today's youth mindset who believe that patriotism is something that looks good in history chapters and today's world is far ahead of all that, they would prefer to go boozing and dancing rather than thinking on any of those lines. The way each character gradually immerses into scenes from the past leaves you fantasizing about the hard work that has gone in the background to create this, both technically and on the part of the actor. Its probably for the first time in Indian cinema that juxtaposing has been used with such a great effect. The highlight of the movie is the great use of cinematography techniques. I was really impressed by his last attempt in 2001 for Aks (Amitabh Bachchan and Manoj Bajpai ), and he definitely has succeeded in making another fabulous master piece. Rakesh Omprakash Mehra is a director of the new emerging Indian cinema, he always tries to bring in something very different. Everyone is given enough space to justify their talent. All the characters grow gradually in the film and make you think their way. However veterans like Om Puri and Anupam Kher looked disposed. That says it all Rang De is definitely a very brave and innovative attempt by the director and for that matter he has selected a near perfect cast. I was really moved by some of the ending lines by the narrator, "I thought there are 2 types of people in the world, one who die crying and other who move away in silence but today I learned there is third genre, people who go laughing". It makes us think, as to how should we actually celebrate our freedom. ![]() It is more of an introspection, a food for our thought process. Its not a run of the mill stuff with 6 six romantic songs, couple of foreign locales and then finally some emotional drama . However they restrict their national values only to food and nothing more. The Gen-x who knows Mac-D but still prefers the Dhaba Paranthas with sweet Lassi. Its about today, us and our present, yet the similarities we have from the Pre-independence era. Well that's exactly the director tries to convey. Oops .that's suppose to be Rang De Basanti . ![]()
