Pooran S For me Rakeysh O P Mehra's finest movie till date by far . What a storyline, plot , treatment , seamless special effects ...especially the sepia toned past & colourful present . A movie with so many different emotions all coming together under a banner of patriotism, so well told, without any unnecessary chest thumping, flag waving jingoism ....understated but hits home ! A brilliant Aamir Khan ...the soul of the movie.... ably supported by all the other cast members bar none. Amazing music score by the maestro...A.R. Rahman! Bollywood's loss if they don't employ your genius anymore . Along with Sholay one of the defining movies of Hindi Cinema . Go watch it if you haven't already ! I've watched it too many times to keep count .

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review robert r Much like the film's central cast of characters, "Rang De Basanti's" thematic material hails from an undoubtedly admirable place, but as things proceeded in a narrative light, the more it became clear to me how much I was going to diverge from the film philosophically. Ideas like patriotism and truth are easy things to root for when it comes to building motivation behind a protagonistic force. However, when you have main characters veer into assassination and terrorist-like behavior, that's when you really have to tread lightly as a filmmaker. Nuance can even play an interesting role at this point. The idea of vengeance turning people into the very thing they sought to destroy is always compelling. Tragically, though, that kind of commentary and awareness is not really something the film finds all too interesting. So with that, you're left with an emotionally expressive, yet idealistically misplaced anthem of semi-justified self-righteousness. Thankfully, Aamir Khan is always a welcomed presence. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing, superb, and even more relevant today in India than ever before! The acting is superb, the songs are also great (not the random things we get in movies today) and the plot ties together various pieces together perfectly. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member There can not be a better portrayal of patriotism which this movie has shown us. I must have watched it like 25-30 times but still climax makes my eyes numb. I don't have words to define how this movie is great. Loved the songs too.
