Watched the movie Rang De Basanti last Friday. Lot of people have rated this movie ten on ten and almost all newspapers have given it five stars. The movie is just a hype and does not give out the strong message that everybody thinks it does. Five friends go ahead and kill the defence minister whom they think is responsible for their friends death, and when the minister is declared a martyr, they decide to go on AIR and take responsibility for the ministers murder, and also get themselves killed in the end. And finally a bunch of college going kids are interviewed in the end, who say they want corruption to be rooted out from this country and that the five heroes death would not go unpaid for! WHAT CRAP! The movie makes use of some great music from AR Rehman and powerful scenes from India's independence struggle to carry forward the audience in believing that there is a message, when there is none. A movie like Lagaan which I feel had a strong message, put across in a plain, simple and innocent way.

All this hype and hula-hu about doing something for the country is momentary and would vanish after a few weeks after people go in watch another movie with another strong message
