There are two kinds of people,
People who go screaming to their death,
People who go silently to their death,
Then I met the third kind….
Every now and then there is a movie that stands out… This one is of that kind. Everything about Rang De Basanti is magic pure magic. This for the record is only the third movie I have felt inclined to clap at the end of the film for its pure brilliance, the earlier two were Black (The best movie ever…) and Aviator (What can I say :) ). Renzil D’Silva and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra script this journey through youthful experiences and mature decisions flawlessly and provide their way of feeling patriotic.
Sue (Alice Patten) comes to India to make a documentry about her grandfather’s diary which accounts the rise of Indian Independence struggle in 1920 in the hands of 5 revolutionaries. Her pal Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) steps up to help her… Her search for her 5 main characters is in vain and while hanging out with Sonia’s friends she realizes that her friends fill the characters perfectly….
