once upon a time on a cold dark night sitting somewhere in the garden city, a thoughtless rambler decided to save his words for posterity.

Rang de basanthi

After a long I watched a hindi movie without dozing off in the middle. The last one was I guess "Company". This time it is "rang de basanthi". Highly recommended for those of you who are frustrated at the run-of-the-mill stuff which comes out of Bollywood. Though RDB includes a lot of gimmicks for pleasing the masses, i give it full marks for rather different treatment.

The story is about an American lady bound on making a documentary on Indian freedom fighters, and how it changes thee life of hers and five university students involved in it. The only thing I have against this film is that it kind of give a wrong message - that the solution for problems is to turn to violence !

Except for Aamir Khan, Anupam Kher and Om Puri(the latter two having very little screen time), there was hardly anybody in the movie who could act decently. Especially, when Siddharth(Boys fame) made an effort to make emotional outburst, I could hardly hold my laugh.
