Rang De Basanti...

A very tiring, exhausting, exciting and happening weekend…

Plans were made since long… a very long overdue Shirdi trip finally got materialized…
9 of us left for Shirdi on Saturday night… fun started the moment we all gathered together… and it continued till we parted on Sunday night…

Saturday I thought of putting a new post and blog hopping… but the crazy and maddening reviews of “Rang De Basanti” deferred my plans… On Friday itself some of my office colleagues gave fantastic review about the movie… then on Sat morning when I met Kiran … she too went ga ga over the movie… and I was like… I’ve to see this movie anyhow else it wud be difficult for me to resist till next weekend ;-)

I called up my friend and made the plans… and luckily we got the tickets @ Fame Adlabs… (160 per ticket… gosh that’s expensive…but the movie was all worth it)

Rang De Basanti… Wow what a gem of a movie that is… Loved it… Awesome direction… it’s a must watch… what an amazing blending of the freedom struggle in 1930 and the revolt of youth against dirty politics…

The attitude of current youth and their approach towards life is so damn real and true… we all can imagine ourselves in their shoes and our thoughts would be no different…
It’s so normal to see people crib about politics and politicians… we all do it…

Casting of the movie was too perfect… each character is so nicely portrayed and actors have done complete justice to their role… awesome performances…

Aamir Khan… he always reminds me of his dialogue from the movie “Dil Chahata hain”… “Waise bhi perfection to improve karna mushkil hota hain” (its difficult to improve perfection)… but this guy is managing to do that… he is simply superb… he just rocks…

Kunal Kapoor… girlz are gonna love her… he looks hot… and Sharnam Joshi doesn’t misses out on making you laugh… and the British Actress “Alice Patten” gives a terrific performance… specially her Hindi accent is just too good…

First I thought Aamir would have a big role to play and others will play a supporting cast… but it was nothing like that… (ofcourse Aamir got the upper hand by getting the heroine ;-) )

When I came out of the theater there were some guys with camera… they asked me about my opinion… wuuuuuhuuuuu…

Not to miss... the music of the movie is rocking… my fav song is Ruu-ba-ruu

aye saala
abhi abhi huaa yaqeen ki aag hai mujh mein kahi
hui subaah main chal gaya
suraj ko main nigal gaya
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy

jo gumshuda-sa khwaab tha
voh mil gaya voh khil gaya
uulon hathaa pighal gaya
kichhaa kichhaa machal gaya
sitaar mein badal gaya
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy

(dhuaan chhataa khula gagan mera
nayi dagar naya safar mera
jo ban sake tu hamsafar mera
nazar mila zara)

aandhiyon se jaghad rahi hai lau meri
ab mashaalon si bhad rahi hai lau meri
naamo nishaan rahe na rahe
ye kaaravaan rahe na rahe
ujaale mein pee gaya
roshan huaa jee gaya
kyon sehte rahe
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy

dhuaan chhataa khula gagan mera
nayi dagar naya safar mera
jo ban sake tu hamsafar mera
nazar mila zara
ruu-ba-ruu roshni heyy


I particularly liked this one dialogue where in Aamir says… I dun wanna move out of college campus… I feel my worth here… people know me… they have trust in me… I fear that once I’m out I’ll lost in the crowd of lakhs… and life would be so routine… work… earn money… and all…
I could very easily relate this to my life…

Seeing the movie just before the Shirdi trip surely added to the excitement…

I even heard some negative reviews… but after seeing the movie I’ve gone completely fidao…Finally after a long time a movie could live up to the hype it created before its release… next week I’m again gonna go for this movie…

the movie was awesome........
the transition is so superb

especially the early role playing and the later real life roles ....the dialogues during the mose]t tense situation is something i loved and the last part

fikar tho bachoon ki ho rahi hain...kalle honge ya gore...

and my fav song tu bin bataye ...
rubahoo and lose control...

i would rave on....and spoil the fun for those who are yet to watch .....

its nice that you could visit shirdi.its a great place been there just before coming to France.

Thanks for that wonderful review on Rang de basanti.i dont know when i can watch it here but the way u penned down ur thoughts on movie i could visualise it.
really great review.

coming to aamir he is really a super star and justifies the character he plays
He should be king khan rather than shahrukh but some people will have different opinion.

"I dun wanna move out of college campus… I feel my worth here… people know me… they have trust in me… I fear that once I’m out I’ll lost in the crowd of lakhs… and life would be so routine… work… earn money… and all"

liked these lines very much hold true for many of us

Thanx once again puneet

You are the nth person saying that 'Rang De Basanti' is a great movie. I'm just dying to watch it. God knows when I'll be able to.
I liked Kunal Kapoor from the time I saw him in "Meenaxi - A Tale of Three Cities". He is too hot!! ;)
