Oh I sawthis movie a couple of days back.. and it is so different from the movies that we see regularly these days. It brings a new brand of patriotism to the screen. Lately we have seen movies that have been inspired by independence and freedon fighters and especially the post independence wars. But none have brought home the feeling as much as this movie did.
I really loved the movie because its main theme ( apart from chronicling the lives of 4 freedom fighters) really touched me. I know that if I had to reenact a role of a freedom fighter.. I would probably start empathizing with the character and want to do something with my life that would make difference to atleast 1 other human being. There were so many parts in the movie that were great. The warmth the energy the joy in just being together...was brougt across so beautifully...The pain the escape the documentary...was shown very well... and i really wished that such a documentary was made. The MIG air crash and the scenes that followed it are very integral to the indian defence government.
My only complaint is with the climax and I just thought at the end of it... their efforts were in vain.
And let me be very frank. I wasnt impressed by the so called patriotic feelings that were aroused in the 4 boys of a university in delhi that prompted them to go and kill of a minister in the cabinet. That just shows how impulsive they got because at the end of the killings the tables turned and they were no longer heroes.
This is the way I would have liked to see the movie. By re enacting the four freedom fighters roles in Sue Mc kinney's movie, the four of them start introspecting about their role in India today and how they can make a differenc to the country and how they can change it...instead they dont see the importance of the contributions of these leaders till the death of their buddy. Ajay Rathore's sacrifice and death serves as an inspiration to change things and confront the government .
I have a lot of issues with the way the climax was handled because I lost track of what the director wanted to convey. When The MIG 21 scene came on... I was really ashamed and I started telling myself that there is no way that things are going to change in India. I agree that to change things you need to take action by yourself and running from pillar to post is not going to help at all. But to change a country .. you cannot do so by killing one fellow.. A thousand will stand up in his place. Though I dont agree much with the Gandhian principles, I found his strategy the most effective because the British were forced to succumb and bend to accomodate his wishes for the country and we got our freedom because of his and amny other people's sacrifices. They knew the power he commanded over people and the mass disapproval they would be met with if he was harmed.
if I could but rewrite the climax of this movie....

hmm well - Good movie, heard some good reviews. Didn't read thru this post completely waiting to watch it first. Climax of the movie yeah .... ?
Very True, After seeing Rang De Basanti, I realised that to add spice to the movie the climax was made abruptly insane.
Lot of youth in India espeically, was completely obsessed by the idea of taking extreme measures on disagreeing with a Government idea.
I also beleive that the incidents that occured whilst raising voice against the Reservations category etc, had to do with such influenced youth groups.
