Review of movie Rang De Basanti

                                     Rang De Basanti                                         
Image result for rang de BasantiOn 15th August 2017 , we have screened the film based on freedom fighting , it is famous for editing that is done in it with music, dialogues, narration, costumes etc.
Rang De Basanti is 2006 Indian Drama film written, produced and directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The literal meaning of the title can be translated as ‘ Paint me with the colors of the Spring’. The story is about British documentary filmmaker who is determined to make film on Indian Freedom fighters based on a diary entries by her grandfather, former officer in Indian Imperial police. It’s like play within play narration and framed narrative is artistically edited in black and white sequences of history and present situation. She asks group of five young men to act in her film. They don’t take it seriously but after experienced that emotions and feelings of patriotism by living in rural Punjab acting being more effective and lively.
Generally in India, Freedom struggle done in two ways, 1) Non- violent which is most celebrated in history in Gandhian path and 2) Violent in which the breakers of Gandhian path like Bhagat Singh, Azad, Bismil Khan , Durga devi and others. In the retelling of this story, the bitter satire done on the contemporary Indian Society. The university campus with notorious students who never pass out, conflict between Hindu and Muslims , stereotyping that Muslims are anti-India, custodians of culture etc presented ironically in film. The dialogue is very important that ‘ No any country is perfect, we have to make it perfect’ which gives message to youth that we should take responsibility to change the things as we are talking about the Democracy so it’s our duty to fight against injustice, corruption In government corporate sector for that we need Lightness ‘Roshni’,
When we talking about Gaze to look at such situations, there are to view points Outsider and Insider. When outsider sees the act of bribe it’s illegal for them but in India , it became normal for us. We can’t find problems from inside but when outsider se, it gives different views on it best example movie ‘PK’ where Alien came from other planet and finds so many problems with Indian Society like different Religions , their different color for different significance, wrong Babas (Religious Gurus) and their false practice to make their worshipers fool. So there are vast difference between views of Outsiders and Insiders.
There are some good points as well as some points that are not mentioned in movie clearly that Bhagat Singh is not shown as Atheist as most movies fail to mention it.
