^ thats whot i thought in the first place
Re: Rang De Basanti
Finally got around to watch it… very good movie :k:
Blending the heroes of the past with today’s youth worked really well and showed how even though we laud the people from the past, everyone has it in them to do good… whether it’s the carefree DJ, or the rich and seemingly spoiled Karan, or even a fanatic like Pandey. The character mix was really good! The parallel that were drawn between the personalities from the past and the present group of friends was the focal point in the movie… it started as mere dramatics but it ended when they become one in spirit.
There were a couple of other stirring moments for me in the movie… but primarily, it left me with the edict that “No country is perfect…it needs to be made perfect” – it rings well with the South Asian audience.
Overall, a well-crafted impressive movie.

Re: Rang De Basanti
Third Grace upstages her father as star of Bollywood blockbuster
By Ben Hoyle
HER tears remain the abiding image of Britain’s retreat from Hong Kong but, nine years on, Alice Patten is again familiar to millions as the star of a record-breaking Bollywood film.
The youngest daughter of Lord Patten of Barnes, who was the 28th and last governor of the colony, is the female lead in Rang de Basanti (Paint it Yellow), which is showing in cinemas around the world. She plays an idealistic British film director, whose admiration for a forgotten anti-colonial freedom fighter inspires a group of apathetic, cynical Delhi students to take violent action against corrupt politicians in present-day India.
Her co-stars include the veteran character actor Om Puri, Soha Ali Khan, the daughter of the legendary cricketer the Nawab of Pataudi, and Amir Khan, one of the giants of Indian cinema, whose film Lagaan was nominated for an Oscar in 2002.
Rang de Basanti is Ms Patten’s first film after several television and theatre roles. Its opening weekend set a box-office record and it is still in the Indian Top Ten.
She said: “It’s a very different kind of Indian film — not your typical Bollywood fare. There are no big song-and-dance sequences, which is a shame, in a way, because I would have liked to have had that experience. But there is one party scene where there’s music. I try and join in with the dancing and look fairly foolish.”
Ms Patten, 26, who is appearing as Ophelia in the English Touring Theatre’s production of Hamlet at the New Ambassadors Theatre in London, is accustomed to star-support acts.
On that famous night in June 1997, when the rain lashed Hong Kong harbour, bagpipes played and the Union Jack was lowered for the final time, she was so inconsolable that the Prince of Wales had to fix her a stiff gin and tonic.
The Prince’s journal, parts of which were revealed in the High Court last month, recalls boarding the Royal Yacht Britannia “to be met by a gaggle of waiting Patten daughters, all thoroughly overcome by emotion and exhaustion”.
Ms Patten told The Times yesterday: “It was a very personal moment that was seen by millions of people. Obviously the drama of the day added to it, but I was leaving my home and friends and I was only 17.”
She was the youngest of the “Three Graces”, as the mesmerised local press called the glamorous Patten sisters. Laura, whose miniskirt almost upstaged her father’s inauguration, is a Pilates instructor and Kate is a television producer.
Alice Patten spent her teenage years surrounded by servants who wore white gloves to bring her cups of tea.
She managed to romance an Australian surfer, do some modelling and cause a small uproar when she appeared in a television advertisement for a Chinese-owned property company.
Leaving Hong Kong the day after her last A level, she studied modern languages at Cambridge and embarked on a career in acting.
Ms Patten is the latest British actor to try her hand in Bollywood. Last year Antonia Bernath, 23, was cast fresh from drama school in Subhash Ghai’s Kisna: The Warrior Poet. Toby Stephens, the son of Dame Maggie Smith, played a British army officer in The Rising, which centred on the events leading up to the Indian Mutiny of 1857, and Sophie Dahl and Saffron Burrows have both made Indian films.
But it is Alice Patten who has arguably made the biggest breakthrough, as her father, now the Chancellor of Oxford University, has discovered. “Films like these are making people across (the world) sit up and take notice,” he told the Times of India yesterday.
Ms Patten said: “My father’s out in India at the moment on Oxford business. He’s being hailed as Alice Patten’s dad, and about time, too!”
Re: Rang De Basanti
I thought the guy who played Aslam did a tremendous job, I liked his dialogue delivery and style, very natural.
Re: Rang De Basanti
^ He was in Meenaxi and did a good job there as well.
Re: Rang De Basanti
I think his name is kunal kapoor or something like that…i could just google but too lazy:yawn:
Re: Rang De Basanti
Amazing..some Indians don't know who wrote our national anthem.
Umar is right....it is Rabindra Nath Tagore....No questions about it.
Re: Rang De Basanti
