Ek baar Phir Se .... Rang De Basanti
The Post below is Author's own point of view
Usually I refrain from talking about Movies, for I have stopped watching them long back, for I lost faith on them, for I was sick of watching guy-and-girl-falling-in-love-and-their-parents-have-family-rivalry movies, for I was sick of movies picked up from famous foreign movies and presented in a daytime assassinated form.
However I felt Rand De Basanti deserved a different attention. Its not just a movie which doesn’t fall in the above categories, it has more to it.
I have always observed a fact, each one of us has a hidden patriot inside us. On an usual day we eat, we sleep, we work and we crib about our country. However, when someone disgraces us we spring back to defend .. the Pride that we bear within.
The movie can sure stir up your soul to bring out that Child-of-the-Nation in you. A conceptualization which can sure make you say .... Rang De Basanti ...
The movie starts with a London based film maker whose grandfather served the British Govt. in India during British Reign wanting to make a movie on Indian freedom fighters. Beginning with fun moments among few friends from Delhi University and an Airforce Fighter Pilot, who just as any other college students enjoy the fun life are however worried about the future responsibilities and life which is waiting for them outside Campus. These people as usual hates the existing conditions of the country and hence don’t care where the country is heading. Some of them as usual wants to get out here.
Their transformation happens with the making of the movie, and then one incidence that changes their entire perspective!
Some argue the steps taken in the movie could have been non-extremist. However they justify well in the move, there has to be something differently done to come out of the current situation.
Music would usually make more sense if you could relate them with something, the movie presents and excellent platform for that. It never felt unnecessary, it slowly came with a sweet sound of melody in the background and let u enjoy the fine moments.
Its not an Oscar movie, as it demands a strong grip on the History of freedom fighting in India. However every Indian will be able to relate themselves to it .. Heart to Heart
My Take : Must Watch
