Movie Info

A young idealistic English filmmaker, Sue, arrives in India to make a film on Indian revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, and their contemporaries and their fight for freedom from the British Raj. Owing to a lack of funds, she recruits students from Delhi University to act in her docu-drama. While making the film, the students come to realize the courage of the revolutionaries who struggled before them.

The simple-minded presentation ultimately makes it ring hollow.

An ambitious melding of history, politics, romance and patriotism within the parameters of a commercial Hindi movie.

Accomplished and universally appealing, this is the way Bollywood films should be made.

February 21, 2006 Full Review Source: BBC | Comment

Already a cultural phenomenon in India, this reformist melodrama by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra (Aks) uses razor-sharp technique and an eavesdropper's ear for dialogue to update the patriotic fervor of Bollywood's golden age.

Audience Reviews for Rang De Basanti (Paint it Yellow)

Kinda bolywood version of v for vendetta. A politic movie aims developing public awareness. First one and an half hours of it is unnecessarily long. And oh boy, Indians are dancing, even in political films. I'll watch an Indian documentary as soon as possible. Look the lion is eating baby zebra...chik chik chikki chik

This movie takes a turn for the weird towards the end with a plot twist that made me stop and go "wait...what?!" On another note, I was annoyed that the version I watched did not subtitle the flashbacks.
