ROCKING !!! The movie rocked like hell…just too good….

Okay..enough…let me start with the review now…..

The movie starts with the plan of making a film based on Bhagat Singh and his efforts for the freedom. Sue (Alice Patten) gets inspiration to make the film by reading her Grand father’s diary (who was officer at the jail where freedom fighters were locked up…)

Sue visits India for her film, she gets help from her friend Sonia (Soha Ali Khan), Sonia introduces Sue to her friends Aslam (Kunal Kapoor), Karan (Siddharth), DJ (Amir Khan) and Sukhi (Sharman Joshi). All of them were ex-students and believed in living life with fun and not worrying about the world, having fun in their own world all the time. Sue manages to get all of them including political worker (who is hated by all of them except Sue) Lakshman (Atul Kulkarni) to act in her film.

The first half of the movie revolves around making film and all the fun they had…but the 2nd part is more serious and shows how thinking of these 4 guys changed after working in the film…

The movie takes a huge turn when Fl. Lft. Ajay Rathod (Madhavan) (Sonia’s boy friend / fiancé) who dies in MIG-21 plane crash and the government puts total blame on him..the one who gave up his life to save other people. All the friends decide to let everyone know the reality….

And the real Rang De Basanti starts….

I am not going to give more information about the story because I do not want you guys to miss the fun in watching it…

The movie compares this generation with the generation of British rule and shows that there is no difference in that India and this India. The only thing changed is the time….At that time we were ruled by Britishers and now politicians in white clothes rule us…and we have to follow them…whatever they do, we have to say yes and keep quiet…

At that time also there was strong need for people like Bhagat Singh and other freedom fighters and now also we need freedom fighters like them….to wakeup everyone from long sleep and make aware about the reality…

I would call this movie “Perfect” because everything in the movie is at perfect place..nothing is wasted…even great actors like Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher for small roles are not at all wasted…the music of the movie is a good asset…background score is just amazing….

So in short, the movie is worth watching in the theatres and definitely worth adding in your DVD collection…
