Rang De Basanti

Let me say that I love all types of movies, but this one was just torture. The first hour is a waste of time, her accent is frustrating and the behavior of the rest of the characters is borderline obnoxious. The story about the revolutionaries was great, but you get twenty seconds of it in between five minutes of garbage. Save yourself some time and watch something else OR skip the first hour, that way you will only waste 72 minutes of your life. Its an Indian movie, believe me you'll figure out the story line even if you skip an hour. It upset me to see this movie at #3 on the top 100 list of Bollywood films. The entire story line is ridiculous, and the connection they tried making between revolutionaries fighting for freedom in a colonized India and five stupid college kids and a white girls fighting a corrupt government in 2006 was an epic fail.

This is the most dumbest movie i have ever seen. I do not have patience to watch complete a movie so after 1 hour i stopped in middle. Nothing any story except targeting hindutwa, one political party. I do not understand why hindi movies always try to politicize the things. I feel most of the hindi movues are not suitable to me.

This that rare kind of movies which tells you a story blending contemporary present and known past in a way that dividing line is blurred and a message for future emanates as clearly as it could be. Strong characters, amazing editing and sequence, excellent cinematography, contextual and great music. All in All "Aamir Khan" is to bollywood what "Tom Hanks" to Hollywood. First half is just university and college fun as visible in day to day campus life in cities. In fact initial sequence on auditions is as real as it could be and does comment on sorry state of affairs when it comes to self-confidence and meaningfulness of youthful ness. Movie is quite clean on details and scenes of events like kakori, parliament bombing touch a chord though they have been played time and again. A must watch!!

I really really liked the movie, especially the ending of the movie. The movie is all about trying to change the system, the way we think, to leave a mark in the society & to live what the freedom fighters have lived thru. I would say Rakeysh has done a gr8 job with the movie, but he takes a lot of time to get to the movie's actual story, which begins only after 1.5 hours into the movie. Acting is first rate, and the movie belongs to all the actors who starred along with Aamir. I would say they really overshadowed him. N surprise surprise, he is not the central character in the movie... to find it out, go watch the movie... U wont be disappointed. A must watch...

The overall suggestion of the movie is so strong that some imperfections could be bypassed - for example, needless blood coverage and unrealistic shreds all over the garments of the students after the protest. And mainly the whole overjoy dominating the first half. It is understandable that the contrast makes the suggestion stronger. May be this is the only way an Indian can suggest an idea?! :)) Or may be this is just how life happens in India - with constant contrasts... What am I saying?! Why India only? ;) P.S. You can expect to laugh and cry sincerely in this movie. And above all, you'd probably want to go to see this country, like I did.

Rang De Basanti is near perfection. Excellent performances and chemistry between the whole cast. The characters are well-written, the actors were able to convey a variety of emotions. This kind of level of precision is rare when you have so many actors to direct. I also loved how the editing seems to reflect or induce the intensity of each scene, the editing goes quicker when the characters are excited/angry than when they are bereaved saddened, and while I'm no a fan of the "Best of..." technique, I remained engaged by the amazing score. So I have no complaints to make about this film, you should check it out if you haven't already!

Many people talk too much and do too little. Maybe that's the real problem. "Rang De Basanti" is right, it's easy to stay out of it, it's easier to blame someone else, why don't you go out and change it? It fits perfectly anywhere, because no place is perfect, and we have to work hard to make the world a better place, to make the country a better place. Cut the crap, take the action, make the sacrifice, make the dedication, this is the real patriotism. If the blood isn't boiling, it's just water running through your veins. -- Rang De Basanti
