Rang De Basanti

I have been long since wanting to write a blog about "Rang De Basanti". Its been a long time that I saw a hindi movie that got me as excited as this one did.

Well frankly speaking, I could not really find any flaws in the movie. Wonderfully casted, and awesome direction. Rakeysh Mehra has done a brilliant job bringing out the spirit of youth in India. The first half of the movie is hilarious. Aamir Khan still has it in him. Looks really old, but acted very well. Siddharth and Sharman Joshi were really the surprise packets in the movie. Siddharth played the role of the silent and intense guy and he gave a great performance. But the best of them all, personally I feel was Kunal Kapoor, Aslam. He is the light hearted, Muslim guy who is a poet. Tall, dark, with deep eyes, he is my favorite. He is a looker, and a keeper.

A.R Rahman's music rocks. Both the versions of the songs "Pathshaala" are totally addictive. It brought back memories from my college days. It reminded me of my friends, Pink Floyd and bike races. "Roobaroo" is easily the best song in the movie.

This movie without being preachy, definitely is thought provoking. I am sure every Indian who came out of the theater gave a thought as to he/she fit into which character in the movie.

It is a great movie to watch!!
