Rang de basanti : Good one !

Well , I caught this movie today in Rex ,with neo ,tonni and dodo . I was late by some 10 mins but anyways , that's fine. Well ,was sitting in between neo and dodo and actually had a nice time during the 1st half when neo and me were kinda critically analysing the movie.
Well,this is my take on this movie .Why is this in my blog ? Coz' its part of an unforgettable seive ! or the contents of one of the seives.
'Rang de basanti' : well the title kinda indicates that this might be a patriotic movie. but is it ? Well , NO it ain't ! well, RDB is a really cool story about these 4 young students , a girl who is about to get married to a stud maccha in the airforce and one party worker . An angrezi mem comes to namma bhaarath to make documentary abt freedom fighters .( did i hear u say ,"OH NO NOT AGAIN !" ).well ,just chill.She sees in these janta(dont know how tho !!) ,that these kinda resemble the actual cast of the 1920s and 1930s freedom fighters and offers them role (dont know how much they were offered for the movie,guess it was an internship !! or maybe even a project!!).Janta,put funda and accept off role . These guys joke around on the sets like crazy. some of those jokes are exceptional ! "Sue kar mere manko" was hilarious,so were the things which had aamir speaking almost chaste punjabi. I mean that's an amazing strategy ,to put in lot of punjabi coz' in places where there is lot of cash(UK for eg) ,the indians who watch it are mostly punjabis ! GUD LEVEL STRATEGY !!
Well ,the 1st half is kinda interspersed with the movie within movie ,so at the end of 1st half we were left wondering as to whether the director was confused...what on earth did he want to shoot ?? if it was a pure comedy ,THEN WOW !! awesome !! coz' the entire theatre was in splits . anything else ?? then the intention's not clear !! Neo told me that he was kinda losing the whole thing !! Well,I was also kinda abt to agree to him ,but then thought that it was swalpa early to judge and i waited to see what our internship boys wud do!
MAN !!!! the 2nd half was rocking !! BRILLIANT ,AWESOME STUFF !! Everything kinda fits in (or fitted in) !! I wont describe the 2nd half in detail,coz' the fun wud be lost for those who are going to watch it ! Well ,all I can say is that janta begin to feel extremely proud of our internship boys and ofcourse, the lady in distress.
Well, a rocking movie (dodo was putting hazaar cry sitting next to me in 2nd half ! neo's and my prediction came true !) coz' of its 2nd half i think, tho i came across many people who did not like the 2nd half but luved the 1st !! guess,we do things differently !!
Aamir khan did not hog the entire limelight for sure !! he was awesome but i think it was an abs team effort. The other 4 boys also did brilliantly ,Soha ali khan has matured unbelievably since her last movie and is very camera friendly . I almost forgot , angrezi mem is also level !! I mean she has acted really well and has portrayed her character well to a T !! Music ROCKS !! (RUBARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU !! AR Rehman in form is different level altogether !) Direction is gud and credit to Mr Mehra for getting the message across....ITS ABOUT THE RIGHT KIND OF FREEDOM !! actually, what is freedom ,is freedom what we think it is ?? well, it kinda asks u such questions and you are supposed to dig in to find the answers !
Well, definitely a film for the YOUTH OF THE COUNTRY !!!! its really cool ,one of the better hindi movies I have watched in recent times !!! (1000 times better than Zinda ! )
Well, I must thank janta for getting me tickets and letting me experience a gud movie !!

A comment long due. Cute blog you got here. :)
About the movie, I have to thank you for the perspective that you introduced. It takes an inner eye to see through the movie, the layers of emotions it evokes, the images that it inscribes into the memory. And you did exactly that. You banged in on the commercial ideologies behind the movie. What you say must be true. At least you have me convinced. Well, more comments to follow. Till then,
:)
