Rang De Basanti

I finally got to see this movie. I feel it was utterly overrated. I dont think murdering your Defence Minister from the back while he's on a morning walk is very cool, whatever the motive is. Just because A kills B and goes to jail, B need not do the same right?

I wouldnt call it a terrorist act as some reviews put it because terrorists kill innocents and they kill to create terror among the masses. It wasnt so in the movie.

Also, the main characters dont show nationalism really. Even before their friend was killed in the crash, many other pilots lost their lives in similar incidents. Where was their nationalism then? They woke up only after their friend was killed. They killed the Defence Minister only to avenge the death of their dear friend.

That way, the movie really summed up the disinterested behaviour of our country's youth in all matters not concerning their friends and family. It has to be a friend or a family member killed in an air crash to wake their butts up from their deep slumber.

The movie has a lot of fun though. It has a lot of feel good quotient. The music is what I liked most.
