Watch Rang de Basanti

A technically brilliant file. Excellent music, perfectly woven into the storyline. Precise editing that effortlessly transudes you between two different eras well captured in sepia and colour respectively by great cinematography. Dialogues, that rip your heart apart with sadness, joy and laughter. A refreshing cast, that delivers brilliantly in well-scripted characters - All perfectly gelled together by a screenplay that captivates you through the entire narration and leaves you haunted when it finally ends.

That in short is "Rang de Basanti".

A movie that's as educative as a Yuva, Anniyan, Indian or a Gentleman, enjoyable as a Dil Chahta hain, thought-provoking as a Swades and coming-of-age as a Lakshya. All said, the movie still isn't perfect. But the sheer number of positives far out weigh whatever negatives to make this a one-of-a-kind and easily one of the best Hindi movies.

So, if you still haven't watched the movie.... Go watch it in a good theatre with great sound. This is one movie to be experienced and not just watched.
