Rang De Basanti

Well better late than never to write a review of such a film...

This film makes us think our ways of doing thing... it typically reflects on A R Rehman's thought when he released the "Ma tujhe Salam" songs to commemorate the 50 yrs of independence...we are doomed by this thought of "Chalta hey yaar"... we typically set standards for lower levels... we never try to change things for the better....We agree and give reasons why we are not potent enough to take initiative and change things...The film typically reflect and let us question these actions of ours...

Its when we are faced with adversity so severe that we take it upon ourself to change things... if we are not closedly linked to the advesity then we generally shun away from the action that needs to be taken... but what is more improtant... do we learn from the advestity the lessons of unity to be carried over when the advesity subsides? I seriously doubt it... we are frightened to get back to different way when it returns to status quo... I feel this is typically because we lack a vision statement... a common goal that all of us have to share... with our this super ordinate goal we are like horses pulling a carriage in all possible direction... its only when all of the horses get to move in same direction that the journey to a new destiny begins... it might need a charrioteer to do the handling.. some times its a leader, some times its advesity.... but arent we capable enough to find our own path!!! we need to define our purpose and try and align it with the greater cause, and actually appreciate the life we want to lead and to make it more meaningful.

The film touches various other perspectives but this is one which I think stands apart from all other messages that are given in the story line...
