Loved this movie...If ever movie is re released then definitely go to 2K club.. I am sure..There is not a single person who don't like this movie... I don't even have words for this amazing movie..😍😍 This movie is great in everything songs writing,singing, dialogues,actibg, choreography,directing,story line-up..
It is a 2 hour and 43 min long movie which held me close towards it for the full run time by its mighty gravitational force.Actually it is a stirring voice against all injustice.In the beginning of the movie it shows some historical movement against the then English government.Then it introduces us with most of the characters who lives a enchanting lifestyle.Side by side the condition of present India is also reflected.The jocular group of lead characters feel some changes in them dealing with a serious thing in the middle of it .Then they get real life example of what they felt earlier.After that they burst out in revolution.They just lose control.Then their aim becomes to uphold their right beyond all odd.And,all these gravitas changes are depicted with enough fun & color.Love,friendship bloomed perfectly well through this movie.
This proves the effect of arts on human mind, the film is so powerful that it changes your thought process within 3 hours , It is considered one of the best films produced by Indian Cinema and I believe there is nothing Strange about that fact.I would not like to talk about the story at all as if you have seen it , it's senseless to talk and if you haven't its better to watch !!I am not a big fan of Aamir Khan as i believe that his acting capacity is very limited when it comes to comparison with SRK (Swades) or Ajay Devgan (Zakhm/Bhagat Singh) but he did a very good here and no doubt he does best films compared to his contemporaries by far. Rakesh Mehra's direction is magical although he made very bad films after this one , he might thought that its his effort alone , its like Govind Nehlani thinking that Ardhsatya is a masterpiece just because of him and Vijay Tendulakar has nothing to do with it.Rest of the cast is awesome too , Soha Ali Khan , Sharman Joshi , Siddharth , Kulkarni , Madhwan given performances of a lifetime !!Go for it guys what to say !!
A curious aspect of Bollywood cinema in the first decade of the twenty-first century was its obsession with the past. Shrewd at tweaking the clichés of social chaos, Rang De Basanti is ultimately an academic exercise, full of stand-ins and signifies a kind of Velvet Goldmine for the destructive impact of the Indian Political corruption and chaos, minus the sense of decadent fun. There is an undeniable appeal to a movie that's made to be picked apart and analyzed as much as this one is, where the props seem to be cross-referencing each other, every incident and character has a mirror image, and even the protagonist is played by two people. One just wishes it weren't doing all the work for the viewer.But RDB does more than just correct the historical narrative. The argument that the nation's history cannot be thought apart from aurality entails a re-conceptualization of history itself. Rather than treating the past as a set of facts to be "discovered" and plotted onto a linear timeline, RDB urges us to think of it as a body of disparate, ephemeral fragments that can be narrativized in different ways. History is a narrative composed of (some of) those fragments, interpreted and remixed such that it speaks to the exigencies of the present. The re-configuring of traditional boundaries of time- space in the RDB soundtrack liberates us not only from the oppression of the (colonial and contemporary) state but also, and more importantly, from its narrative about history. Cinematic sound and music in RDB are the primary means of moving from colonialism's gift of "World-history" back to an older, more enchanted relationship between past and present
