After reading excellent reviews, it was with lot of expectation that I went for ‘Rang de basanti’. Also by expecting a class performance from Amir Khan. Anyway, I was satisfied when I came out. Tips: Dont not choose night show for this kind of movies. Thru out my dream amirkhan and his friends doing masti, also another sector of mind doing an analysis of what the movie is and how will it click in box office?.I cud not sleep at all. A short note from dreams...
Maybe the taste of people has been changed; they expect ‘Garam masala’, kyaa cool he hum. In general, affinity towards masti is clicking in box office; I believe that’s a good change. They want to be happy in theatre.But I doubt, is it not preventing themselves from achieving a brain stimulating laugh. When the humor can makes you think, that will be long lasting. Infact, reaching out humor thru short cuts like sexually inclined dialogues is not the right direction for the long lasting and constructive comedy. This general Impression about the taste of people might have been the inspiration for Mr. Mehra to make such a film where he tried to find a right mixture of masti and seriousness.
Five young men, like any other young Turks enjoying their best at the college. DJ does not like to go away from college, because he enjoys at campus. And he realizes he has got no value when he is out of college. That feeling binds him to the campus. A sudden change in the theme, which no one expected from the masti in the first half is questionable. But anyway, now the movie gotta serious face. Young Turks wanted to do something for their friend, country. Movie goes on...
I think Director sincerely wanted to convey only onething...”Instead of cribbing about the problems in the country, go ahead and do something for it.” He is successful in presenting his ideas. He tried to remind and compare spirit and will power of our old young heroes Bhagat singh, Azad so and so. I don’t know how far he is able to inspire youngsters with this comparison. But, Idea is very clear. A good movie is made. All characters acted really well, matured and consistent. I still remember the scene Aamir khan sobbing very sincerely, after the demise of his dear friend and resting on his girlfriend’s lap. She said “I later realized, he was not sleeping, they were all waking up”. A good example for the transformation from a person to a character.
A very good thought, good music, good acting. But somewhere something is wrong in the total presentation that will stop this movie achieving heights. After all movie itself says, we realize the value of our martyrs and Indian history when some western brain tells us “they were great”. I think movie is also no different. Let this movie achieve its heights. Let this movie inspire all my young friends to make them do something instead of cribbing about it. Hats off Amir , this is why I call you an actor and Sharukh a Hero. You have set an example for all other megastars in India; actor does not go above the character or role. “I have seen two kinds people facing death, some go to death screaming, some in peace, I met the third kind…..” .movie still hangs in me…
