Rang De Basanti.. A breathtaking masterpiece.

It was after six long months that i was in a theatre watching a movie. And i think that the distance of nearest theatre (about 80 kilometers) will be a good enough justification for that. Another reason is the easily accessible pirated CD's and downloadable movie files or i can say a thriving LAN at our college campus.

Anyways, Rang De Basanti is a kind of movie for which one must take some pains like standing in a queue for good half an hour, travelling in rickety buses and autoricksaws. The only respite was that you don't find long queues for popcorn during the interviews as nobody seems to be leaving their seats for the fear of missing the plot. Everything is justified. Such is the charisma of this entertaining masterpiece from Rakyesh O. Mehra that you wont want to miss even a split second of your three hours.

The movie starts with the restlessness of five Delhi University youth and ends on a note where they successfully discovers their innerself. Now the masterly presentation of this journey is something which will keep you on the ede of your seats. When the background score plays "Kuch kar gujarne ko KHOON CHALA" it summarises the essence of this realisation that we are still capable to do many many meaningful things. A young lady comes to India to make a film over the freedom fighters (Bhagat Singh, Azad, Durga Bhabhi, Bismil, Asfaq) and then she realised that the Indian youth has completely lost his way in the journey to development. They are not willing to be a part of the change however they all wish for a change. Funny is the way that how a lot of the guyz who were auditioned for the movie didn't know how to pronounce "VANDE MATARAM".

The real strength of the movie lies in the fact that not even for a second you will feel like Amir is the only star. The film is nicely carried on the shoulders of all the six actors (Soha Ali really looked pretty, Sharman joshi is outstanding). The editors has done a wonderful job in blending the past and the present. The songs fits absolutely well and truly compliment the story line. AR Rahman's musik is truly amazing.

Thorughout this movie i think i was living a dream. I was watching myself going through the same kind of mental state, of confusion and chaos and then you realize that if you want something to spin your way.. you have to do all the action required for that.. It will surely give you a kick or two in your stomachs and it depends on you that how long you can carry that feeling which floods your thoughts in those three hours..

Being true to myself i can say that this is one movie i don't mind viewing thousand times. Because, you seldom see a movie like this which is sensual as well as entertaining. Go watch it..Don't wait for the pirated VCD's..
