Rang De Basanti -- One GOOD movie

Well, I am not going to write any review for the movie, as to what happened and what is the sequence of events in the movie.. Infact, even if I watch a movie two times back to back, I can not remember the scene sequence in the movie. Am not telling that RDB changed it all, but RDB is fresh in my memory for all the reasons that it should be.

Firstly, kudos to the director. What an excellent movie after quite some time!!! I am sick of movies like "no entry", "garam masala" etc which are great in the box office... Infact, one of these two movies (I donno which) is a remake of a Tamil flop movie and a malayalam hit movie... Ofcourse, these kind of movies are required to lighten the mood, but many directors are getting carried away nowadays and feel that only these kind of movies are good money-machines. In that regard, I appreciate the director of RDB for providing a quality movie unmindful of whether it will be a commercial hit or not. Thankfully for him, the movie is a hit.

Well, coming back to the plusses of the movie in my opinion, I found the lyrics in the songs to be extremely good. Especially in the khoon chala song.. The wordings need special mention. What makes me say this first, is that I had listened to the songs over and over again in my 6 hours long flight journeys between Phoenix and Louisville and 2 hour breaks at the Chicago airport, that I grew a great liking for them.

Second thing what I admired is the way the actors took up their roles.. Siddharth looked like a hero for once... Maddy's role was a lot more than a guest role... Am sure that if it were a Sanjay Dutt or a sunil shetty, it would have impacted a lot lesser. The choice of characters is really good.

Hmm.. so, thats my part of comments...

RDB sucks ass dude! What a crap movie!! You approve of a swine arsed SOB who hasn't passed college for like 10 yrs as the FUTURE of the country! And worse still... he has the freaking audacity to KILL the defence minister coz he said something silly abt him not being involved in the crash! What a weak story!! Then the scene at AIR..lol... I am thankful we haven't grown up to be afganisthan..coz shit like this happens everyday there for real!

As far as the music goes..it was good.. first half was nice.. the second half was surreal, phantasmogoric and incongruous!

vow navin ! came across it n like it, keep the work going.and i disagree with aditya,education has nothing to do with politics, i agree it gives u knowledge but wat we need is common sense and a 'sense' at all, so it doesnt matter if u doesnt graduate with a honors degree or something.The education which gives u the common sense is the basic education anyway.and as far as the weakness of the story is concerned i agree its far from life but even if it ignites a speck of inspiration in one guy watz wrong if its all a fiction.Many stories driving morals are fiction all the way.
