Rang De Basanti - I just saw this move yesterday. Like all other Amir Khan movies, this is unconventional in style. But this movie is not about Lagaan's Bhuvan but a group of youngsters, college going lads, living their life with full vigor and asking us to rise, stand up and lead the country.
This movie made me remember a particular real life incident. At the end of the movie, there was a paricular shot where people are asking questions on the radio why these youngsters killed the defence minister and the very first remark was - you did a brilliant job, all politicians should be made to stand in a line and be shot down.
Now remember the Indian Parliament Attack in 2001, I was in IIT that time and travelling in train from my home town towards New Delhi. Just when the train arrived at the old delhi railway station, the news of the parliament attack became apparent. And you know - what did the average indian talked about in train? The response was exactly the same. Someone at my back said, if atleast some of the politicians would have been killed, they would have learn't some lesson.
This is what the average normal indian thinks about indian politicians. We the better educated might differ, but will there be something that is going to change India and the Indians?
