Rang de BASANTI

a generation awaken's...at least on the celluloid
here is a no non sense movie which could well be a land mark for bollywood..as for me it was a blend of 2 of my favourite movies... DIL CHATA HAI(the first half) and YUVA(later)..so this one could well top the list now...
now wat separates it from the DCH is its sheer relevance to the current national scene...its realism in reelism..YUVA was more about leadership of michael mukherjee than any thing else..it is not tht case wid RDB..against junta's expectations the movie is not an all aamir show by any means...all the actors have got into the skin of their characters and performed superbly..
a.r.rahman is as usual.....................awesome..
no nation is perfect...it is to the citizens that they make it perfect..
the dialogue thts close to my heart is:::
"college ke andar mein hum zindagi ko nachaate hain aur bahar zindagi humein"
yahan meri aukaat hai...bahar kitne DJ gaye aur pis gaye....(how true!!! )
THE BEST ONE(sadly):
"humara ek pair future mein aur doosra past mein hai..isiliye saala present par moot rahe hai"
no other line could better describe today's INDIA...
there is no doubt in my mind that we still have those eyes which unsettled the britishers...
we still r those third breed of people who neither keep silent on their death nor make hues and cries about it....
the oxygen of mis-governance and water of mediocrity(the adjust kar lenge attitude) has rusted our iron within...

Rang de BASANTI

few days back i heard tht some alumni of IIT powaai had made a political party...this movie motivates me 2 joining it in future if it is an ethical one..


PS: while i was writin this Irfan Pathan had a hat trick in the very first over of the test match in karachi..hats off man..AT LEAST HE KNOWS WAT HE HAS 2 DO FOR HIS MOTHERLAND....

Do u think will in real life some one will go to that extent and kill defence minister ...
This movie could very well start that old debate of hinsa vs ahinsa path..
I know there is rush of blood at such moment but i stll beleive in words of hindi poet `ram dhari singh dinkar' : " pen is more powerful than sword "

well ARPAN if u ll turn pages of history u ll ve many examples of a major revolt being started by the daring act of some common man like u,me or DJ.
and im of the personal opinion tht it was not just the ahimsa path of gandhi ji tht brought us freedom.the contributions of extremists like bhagat singh and netaji can never be neglected.
now about the pen being mightier and all.if tht were the case then the entire history wud ve been differnt.it is well establishd now tht the pages of history ve been written at the tip of the swords of mighty and not the pens of intellectual.at any given time i feel the barren of a gun has more impact than the ink of a pen..
