Rang De Basanti - Color me in three colors

How do the young and restless behave - watch Rang De Basanti to find out. What changes for them in that one tipping point of their lives from no hopers/wanderers to people with a mission however far fetched it may seem. This is a truly inspirational film especially if you are an Indian concerned about the future of this country. This is about fighting the establishment, this is above love, and about finding purpose. All perfomances are well executed, Siddharth and Aamir are the best of the lot, with the rest not so far behind. Alice Patten is cute.

Music gets you dancing in your seats especially tinga dinga dinga dinga ding :) No prizes for guessing which song that is. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra hasn't disappointed in his next film after Aks. He is one of the best "before intermission" film makers I have seen. Overall don't miss it...and buy/hire DVD only after you have experienced it on the big screen.

My Take: Yeah!

Jolly, thanks for being my own personal Khalid Mohammed for this one( thou' i'm not sure if he was right on spot ever :)) Feel a bit more confident about dragging people to a movie theatre, will try to catch it on the big screen if I can.

i agree with the before intermission part.

although it made for great visual appeal, i found the sepia tinted flashbacks to bhagat singh a tad too tedious... but i suppose there was no other way to tell the story.
