I normally don’t watch Hindi movies. Mostly because, I don’t understand the language as well as I think , I should to enjoy the movie. Secondly, I don’t identify/understand a lot of what Hindi films are trying to convey in their movie.Im not saying Tamil/English films do(the ones I watch all the time) , but Hindi films have always been alien to me.
The Hindi movies that I watch are either the ones that get critical acclaim from all quarters,like Sarafarosh, Lagaan,Satya,Rangeela,Black etc or the ones that are total masala but enjoyable movies like Hum,Taal,Trimurthy,Khalnayak etc.
After watching Rang De Basanti last night, I can easily say , that it cracked my personal list of TOP 5 movies of all time !!
The movie has a patriotic flavor to it. But the movie does not lecture you about patriotism. The movie has a great theme of friendship but it does not have dialogues of friends singing praises of each other (Except for one scene when Sukhi says he loves friends coz they saved his life. He was drunk though. So one can understand that..)
The movie has great comedy, but it's not slapstick or dialogue based humour(a.ka no Crazy Mohan humor)..But...its just really funny. I laughed for one scene so hard that that whole theatre looked at me like I was having a chemical imbalance (or It could also been that I was the only one who laughed for that scene -) When Aamir Khan , calls the kid working in the tea stall and asks him.."Hey Chotu...Bismal ne kya Kaha ..Maalum hai ? " and then practices his dialogue ! Classic!
All the actors fit their roles. no over-acting. Kudos to the casting director...Siddarth is the hero of the movie..and it was refreshing to see that (an TOP star like) Aamir could play second fiddle with great poise. The way the director juxtaposes the past with the present was very creative and crisp.Especially when Sonia says "Maar Dalo Ussse"..Brilliant !
The Music was very different and refreshing..ARR played well within his boundaries and has come up with apt tunes. I was very also impressed with his tremendous effort in the background score ! The editing was perfect...There was not one scene you felt that was too long or that was disconnected. The movie progresses like a gentle stream rather than a gushing waterfall (which is very popular now esp. in Tamil moves..Fast screenplay...Fast Cuts..Popularised by movies like Mudhalvan,Boys,Ghilli etc)
All in All..this movie has made me think...and that what I think movies should make viewers do..Jus reflect on it ! If you watch this movie. it will impact you !! Now whether you want to channel that impact to something positive in your life if up to you! Rang De Basanti is more than just a movie. Its got all the elements to make it a phenomenon!
Don't Miss it !

Heyy Sayee
We've all got to form a fan club of sorts now...i absolutely loved the movie - it felt so real like just a group of regular people like us! And I wept and identified quite a bit and the music is mind blowing! And I so wished I saw it in India :-)
But I'm beginning to think its a 'guy' movie because at the end of the movie I felt a little unsatisfied and I wasn't quite as shaken as you guys were though I'm always shouting my opinion out in every situation. Wasn't sure why but I think I've got it figured now because of something you've written. You know Sonia says 'Maar Daalo Usse' and then suddenly thats one of her last scenes. I guess I wouldn't have enjoyed seeing her shoot the corrupt politician but I felt it suddenly targeted at the male youth of India rather than the 'youth' so I felt little left out as I want to make a difference too:-)
I agree it just doesn't fit to have her exactly do what they did and so I wish the story writers gave us a different solution to the problem they faced. Like a Mudalvan, who gets into politics and tries to clean it up, I wish they lived, didnt shoot him and tried to make a difference or shot him and then went to jail. But then maybe it wouldn't have been quite as effective, right?!
Anyway that was my 2 cents ...hope we have many more of such thought provoking movies!
Saro ka Jini...
I understand what ur trying to say..but Im sure if agree with you if its targeted towards the males ! Coz I felt Sonia's character had a meaning to stay with her ailing Mother-in-Law.Maybe that was the sacrifice she was making for Ajay.
Anyway , i do agree that the movie was mindblowing.The songs are not chartbusters or I dont think they deserve to be purely in musical sense..but the songs are PERFECT for the movie..thats the beauty of it.
I enjoyed the positioning of "Rubaroo" in the movie...Classic !
Sayee,
I totally agree with you.The movie rocked and as you said nothing was overdone.The movie had the right definition of being "jingoistic" since I also belong to the school of people who do not believe in "forward this Presidents speech email to 29 people if you are patriotic".The one part which u missed was the romance of Madhavan and Soha Ali Khan.I thought it was brilliant depiction of love..no running around the trees..no "I cannot live without u" romance.
Overall it was a classic.
Also, the ease with which they portray madhavan's death. bunch of friends sitting in canteen watching TV and there comes the shock. there are countless number of such scenes. the movie is a complete classic in all ways.
Agree with you. Fantastic movie. Loved it. I couldnt think of one scene that was misplaced.
I wrote a freaking big review, but lost it due to some network problems! YIKES..
Anyway, the essence is
1. Good movie. Enjoyed watching.
2. Excellent characterization, except Madhavan. I felt he totally misfit the bill as an airforce pilot - especially as a punjabi-Ajay Rathore.
3. Technically brilliant - sound, editing, screenplay, dialogues, acting. but..
4. Holes in the story
a) Sonia was left off as a hot-potato. I'd have liked to see her own up a bit.
b) Whatever happened to the documentary?
c) orignally, the movie set out to deliver a 1st hand message about- 'Bhagat Singh (BS)' to India. Neither the documentary was completed, nor the true BS was delivered. I don't think that viloence against 'state' was BS's true message. The director seemed to have lost a little focus as the movie drifted aimlessly in the second half. - Still managed to entertain.
That's all I'm taking from it. Good entertainment, technically flawless, but lacked integrity of the story and message.
Sayee - I absolutely enjoyed watching the movie too, both times! Here's my post on Rang de - http://mosakutti.blogspot.com/2006/02/rang-de-basanti-loads-of-potential.html
