RANG DE BASANTHI

in one word.. it was a nice movie.makes u feel like watching once more.. but i felt deep inside something was missing.. there was no clarity.. wat does the director intend to tell?? that freedom fighters struggled haerd to get us independance and that we have not utilized it properly? or does he say we are yet to get our independance?
if he was trying to say that youngsters should take politics in their hands? then why the entire alicia patterson episode? is it just for the brief romance between amir and alicia?god knows...
and why do they all have to get killed in the end? and why do all people say its a serious issue and somethin has to be done? by why dont they tell how to do, what to do? there are so many youngsters who want to do somethin for their country, that includes sara too.. but like sara all people are clueless what to do, how to do? that way the movie was way ahead of constructive ideas...
but there are few things i liked in the movie very much
1. OF COURSE.. A.R.REHMAN...
SUCH AN AMAZING MUSIC... the background is amazing.. i felt very bad that roobaro n paathshala were not fully picturized , two beautiful songs not to go waste..
2. the patriotic feelin it instills
3.AMIR...
OF COURSE,HE is fabulous.. every thing he does is so real..u will admire DJ in the movie and though all have equal roles .. it is this guy who steals your heart.. he is sweet, charming and sensitive.. it was as if he was playing himself...
some scenes i have to mention where i adored him..the scene where he is drunk and tells su how much he is afraid of his life ahead of him... and the scne whre he cries to su that he felt really bad on the death of madhavan.. and the initial meeting scenes with alicia... amazing it was...and the final scene whre he says to siddharth that he is worried about his children,..
4. the ending where all dont put on an act of sacrifice and rather die laughing.. it will touch everybody's heart i am sure...
the things i din like in the movie
1.madhavan
2.romance between soha ali and madhavan... totally unwanted , waste of time..
3.he wastes time till interval not entering into the story.. though its fun...
4. no clarity in what he wants to convey,, no relation between first half and second part,,
5. THE UNPICTURIZED SONG,,it was a big disappointment that roobaro was not picturized.
6. so much of punjabi and urdu..:-(.. i could not understand few dialogues...


finally i wd say THE MOVIE IS HIGHLY ENTERTAINING AND WORTH WATCHING..

Well i disagree with you on so many counts that i don't even know where to begin... Well let me just start at this... Roobaroo was a song which did not need to be picturized... It blended with the flow of the movie and i don't think it could have been done any better... And yes, of course the romance between Madhavan and Soha... I think it was a very vital part of the movie.... Strengthens convictions in the movie....And most of all to say that Sid dint make an impact(on you of course!!), well he was one person with a role which makes u reflect on life in general... Every teenager thinks of so many different things... We may be criticizing the different things that are happening in our country and i doubt any one of us(including Sara) will be upto doing something towards making a change(me included in this list).... But Sid's expressions make u believe that he was a person who was serious in his thoughts and ideals!!!
Well of course, perspectives can be different and yes i do respect ure views.... Nemesis

Aha.. At last i found someone who thinks RDB is not a watershed film in indian cinema.. I certainly agree with ur review(nah !! critique)..

what the director wanted to convey was very simple ... the total degradation of indian politics and how it affects the man on the street .... simply put the group of guys were jus another gang you wud find in any other college and cared a shit about somethin better happenin to india .. but when an incident affects them personally and the pathetic indifference shown they made things happen instead of waiting for someone else to do something ! and the movie did not require songs and actually the timing of roobaroo was perfect and taken really well ..! it was finding the purpose of their lifes !!
as far as am concerned one of the best hindi movies in recent times !!
