This movie has touched my heart. I think it tells a wonderful story. AR Rehman's music is probably the best.
Storyline, awesome! Acting, amazing. I completely love this movie! Every single bit of it! -

Was a movie to watch and enjoy. But also to learn about not only discussing of problem and to do to solve them.
-
MCT:May 11, 2008This movie takes a turn for the weird towards the end with a plot twist that made me stop and go "wait...what?!"
On another note, I was annoyed that the version I watched did not subtitle the flashbacks. -

As usual an Amir Khan fare with patriotism raging...But with a more youthful take which starts off in a hip and playful manner and gets very serious in the second half with an ending that reminds me of the end from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...Deep stuff which also has a solid edge on friendship!...

When a young British filmmaker comes to India looking to make a docu-drama about a group of nearly forgotten Indian rebels from the early 20th century, she quickly befriends a group of Indian college students. She soon realizes that they are perfect for the parts in her recreation scenes. Little does she realize how her little film will come to motivate the same group when the actions of corrupt government officials alter their lives forever. The film melds "flashbacks" to the historical figures and events with the modern characters and story and does it quite well. The songs are intriguing as they are done in a more tradition Western style as music montages more than actual musical numbers. The story is deeply engaging, as are the characters. The ending is powerful and I can't imagine anyone seeing it and being unmoved by it. Definitely a film that deserves more recognition.

MCT:July 17, 2007UGH! what a terrible movie. I can't understand why everyone loved this movie and why it's considered the best Indian movie of 2006. The whole movie was a cliche filled, overally pretentious. melodramatic crap about national pride and caring about your country. Terrible message, considering the kids defend a friend who I don't feel was worth all the trouble or was as noble as they felt he was. Also going as far as killing his father, killing a political leader and holding people hostage just to prove their point? STUPID. And I hated the Handcam directing too, extremely distracting. The only redeeming factor of the movie was the music, which was very catchy.

You will not be able to forget 'Rang De Basanti'. No, the movie is not again about the freedom fighter's life. It is about awakening of distrait directionless youth taking inspiration from his life. If you thought 'Dil Chahta Hai' was perfect and you loved it, behold, we have Rang De Basanti (RDB). The movie is not only perfect with its script; it is the execution that takes it further to be ranked among all time greats.
The script is the strongest one Indian Cinema has seen in recent times, but hats off to the director Rakeysh Mehra for the perfect execution and justice to the script. Certainly, Bollywood could not afford another Mangal Panday, which also had strong script but fell short in execution. Sequences, treatment and especially the connect between history and present is so neatly done that it keeps the viewers glued to the screen. If the humor element in the first half makes you laugh aloud, you find it impossible not to feel the pain our heroes go through in the second half. In addition, it will be unfair not to mention the editing and background score by A.R. Rehman. A word of praise for cinematographer Binod Pradhan for his innovative camera angles particularly in the sequence when Ajay proposes to Sonia.
Now the individual performances. Amir Khan does a wonderful job once again, as he always does. Although his tainted Punjabi accent leaves a bit of desire in the first half an hour; but later his expressions and spontaneity makes up for everything. Yet another award winning performance. Last few minutes of his act keep one wheezing. The best part is that despite being much older than other actors in the gang are, he looks as young as they do.
The surprise packages in the film are south actor Sidharth and the British actress Alice Patten as they both give remarkable performances. Arjun Rampal will regret not doing the role of Sidharth, which initially was offered to him. From a desensitized unyielding young man to a touching finale, Sidharth looks flawless. Alice Patten's Hindi sounds very cute and her unusual romance with DJ is highlight of the movie.
After a cameo in Lajja and two comic roles in Style and Excuse Me, Sharman Joshi comes out to be the funnies thing in RDB. Kunal Kapoor might have gone disregarded in Meenaxi but will definitely be noticed here. Atul Kulkarni is a serious filmmaker's darling, anyway. You hate him whenever he plays a negative character and you will love him in Rang De Basanti. Soha Ali Khan has improved considerably since Dil Maange More and promises a lot for future. One might give her credit for her improved dressing sense as well. Kirron Kher, Anupam Kher, Om Puri and Madhavan have very small roles but they fit perfectly into them.
The only negative I felt about the movie was not having a happy ending. Other than Devdas and Tere Naam, we might not have seen any blockbuster with a sad ending lately. However, the young and upbeat feel of the movie is going to make it a conspicuous success in the metros. How small towns respond to it, cannot be said yet. Nonetheless, one hopes for a positive response because of the patriotic and emotional touch. For me, by all means, RDB was love at first sight. -

definately a five star worthy movie which is nicely made and strongly depicts the youth as more solid figures in a corrupted society

great movie with lots of patriotism!!! 5 youth in college made a change when a friends life was taken by the governments hands. they fight for whats right, and this is a must-see movie to get people to rise for their country and speak the truth! dont let the government control you, fight for whats right, because the government isnt always. great songs, like paathshala and rang de basanti (w a bhangra touch)...lots of life, great performance, and a lot of meaning behind it! definitely mus see!

the movie gave a great inspiration to the youth..it just describes how a group of irresponsible citizens can bring a change in the society by enlighting everyone about the revolution that the society needs. its worth watching and it has changed the thoughts of indian youth about the current politics...

this was a craptastical parade of bad acting, gigantic plot holes and illogical sequences, vain and pretentious attempts at art and all in all a movie that tries to be revolutionary. This movie stands out only because it is so very different from the thousands of bollywood movies but it is a complete waste of time.
