Rang de Basanti

After a long time i found an interesting movie in indian cinema. This movie was shot with a difference. we have seen a lot of cinemas on the same topic bhagat singh and how great he was but none of them captured the feelings of bhagat singh like the way this movie does. None of previous moive tries to describe why he took such a decision and what made him do that. Rang de Basanti does this by relating it to the present day situation.

This movie is made from the heart and that is evident while watchin the it. The movie has the mix of both the modern day masala together with a message, the combination very rarely found in the same movie.

The movie starts with british director who wants to make a movie on bhagat singh. As the story goes on the actors acting in the flim land up in a situation which is very much similar to what bhagat singh faced. The similarities in these two situations are highlighted which is the best element of the movie.

Some would say the ending does not suit it properly, but i would say that this is the the best ending this movie could have. This is exactly what is happening in present day situation. Relating this to Bhagat singh, this is exactly what had happened to him.

One major element in the movie is its music. The background score is very good. Also the timing of each song is fantastic. My favorite song is "rang de basanti". In other movies of bhagat singh we have heard many versions of that song. This one is the modern version and it lives upto its reputation.
