Dear readers,
First of all I would like to thank our professor (H.O.D) of English Department, Bhavnagar University, Dr Dilip Barad sir, who organized film screening of Rang De Basantee (director: Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra) on Independence day-2017 (India).
my review on the movie.
(1) movie explores two stories/two movies in one.
In The Kapil Sharma show, Kapil has asked in comic manner to Rakeysh Mehra that "don't you think that you shows two movies(stories) in your one films, and by this way audience take double entertainment in the purchase of one ticket? He answered on that question that as I usually take almost five years to make one film, that's why I believe that I should show more than others for the sake of audience's satisfaction.
So here, the statement of him in The Kapil Show can be prove through the movie Rang De Basanti and Mirzya.
Rang De Basanti movie has two stories, one is that how the young generation tries to stand against the dull system of our government and second is that how the freedom fighters of India had tried to oppose the reign of English rulers even at the cost of their life. Though the freedom fighter movement seen very less in the movie. But,we can say that director wants to express that if we want India clean from the garbage of corruptions, scams, and lot of other things, than we should/must put our feet in those direction at which our freedom fighters has gone. In the movie mirzya, there is also two stories showed by rakeysh Mehra.
(2) Rakeysh Mehra has tried to hide something.
Yes, we can say that Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra has tried to hide something before release Rang De Basanti.
when we search for the poster of Rang De Basanti or watch the movie trailer, we can not find even the glimpse of the story of freedom fighter's movement. From the poster and trailer of movie, we can say that, this movie would on the college life or on the theme of friendship as the posters indicates us.what would be the reason behind this? Is bacuase audience doesn't like the movies that shows the freedom fightining moment or audience always wants a kind of Masala Films(artificiality) rather than the naked truth.
(3) Marginalized character of Amir khan.
As a audience we always curiously waiting for the movie in which Amir Khan playing role and in 2006 also people would think that if Amir Khan is in the movie than movie would be worth watching because Amir had already proved his versatility by playing roles like Amar Damji in Baazi (1995), and Ajaysinh Rathore in Sarfarosh(1999) as a loyal and brave police inspector, in 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar' (1992) as a teenage boy Sanju, played a fabulous role and how can we forget that all time greatest movie 'Lagaan' shows virtuosity of Amir in the field of acting. so, it was obvious that audience would expect from Amir something more. But however director made his character powerless, he has shown as a kind of careless person, more importance has been given to the character of Siddharth Narayan who played a role of Bhagat Singh and also of Karan Singhaniya. so, here we can say that Rakyesh Mehra has tries to manipulate the people by using Amir Khan.
(4) Very good and effective concept of the movie.
What I like most in this movie is the concept of this movie. Director has connect the youth of contemporary India (2006) to the youth of 1950s (Shahid Bhagat sinh, Ashfakullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil etc.) Director tries to convey his message through the freedom fighters, he shows us that what type of youth any should have rather the what kind of youth India has in present time. The youth must not be like a people who are wandering on the bikes and who doesn't have the plan even of themselves' future but the, who are seen in the beginning of the movie like the character of D.j, Karan, Aslam, but as movie goes on, director conveys to the audience that what is the power of youth and how a youth can change the whole scenario of the country. He tries to say thatyouth must be like Bhagat singh and others freedom fighters who were always awaken about the country and crystal clear about to take decisions that which verdict to take in present time despite that will decide their future, whom kind of youth can be seen as movie goes towards the climax. so, the journey of four characters Karan, Aslam, D,j and Sukhi from the rollicking young people to the deep thinking young people can be found here.
this movie shows many emotions/elements like fear, sympathy, anger, patriotism, revenge, happiness. so, at some point movie seem loose and boring but suddenly after little it looks more interesting, movie become success in grab the attention of audience constantly towards the story of the film.
