Rang De Basanti: Colourful and Different

Rand De Basanti is supposed to be a revolutionary cinema and at the same time it tries to be entertaining too. it succeeds on both the accounts to a certain extent. the message of the film is simple: for india to awaken to the present day reality, a DHAMAKA in some form is needed today, just as a dhamaka was needed for the msg of bhagat singh & co to reach the british rulers of that age.

the film includes a lot of scenes recapturing the pre-indepence era and you are gonna love the art work and the cinematography in those parts. the rest of the film is very colourfully picturised. the music is its another asset, but only a few songs are retained at thier full lengths in the film. "tu bin bataye" is the most beautiful song, and the scene just before this song is the best scene of the film. the comedy in the film is passable.

the surprise package of the film is sidhart!! if you have watched him in some of the tamil/telugu films, then watch him in this one. he has got the most important role in the film and he did not fail to give the best performance. if not for sidhart's special performance in this film, i wouldn't have blogged about this movie. now i have made up my mind to watch his latest telugu flick, "Chukkallo Chandrudu."
