Hi
I recently had the pleasure of seeing the film-‘Rang de basanti’ and it was wonderful.
Starring aamir khan,siddarth,madhav and many others ,the story is about a British documentary filmmaker who is determined to make a film on Indian freedom fighters based on diary entries by her grandfather, a former officer of the British Army in India. Upon arriving in India, she asks a group of five young men to act in her film. They agree, but after they begin filming a friend of theirs is killed in a fighter aircraft crash, with government corruption appearing to be the root cause of the incident. This event radicalizes them from being carefree to passion-driven individuals who are determined to avenge his death.
We also know about the sacrifice of freedom figthers and how all that effort failed due to the present situation of the country
Personally i feel that the film must be shown in every college and school and political education must be made compulsory.
I dont know hindi but I got the meaning of ‘RANG DE BASANTI‘ from my friend.
It means ‘Fill me with the colors of Patriotism’
ISN’T IT GREAT?
I also saw the movie. The film reflects the anger of the youth towards the indifferent and corrupt system. The film portrays the youth resorting to violence - son killing his corrupt father etc. But I would rather like to get into the system, cleanse it and make the system punish the guilty.
Your post is wonderful. Please keep posting blogs on matters that appeal to you.
