Amazing movie! almost "unreal" like the RJ says. i'm listening to the music now, the song "tu bin bataye" played for the proposal scene between madhavan (ajay rathore) and soha ali (soniya)- underplayed - expressions and silent actions. the song is almost like a background score, the voices of the characters are not heard yet you can almost hear everything they are saying. the concept so fantastic of a film within a film and the subtle way in which our national past meets the personal present of the six characters is ironic as is the 'dead hero brought home wrapped in the national flag' charade played during drunken revelry.it is no doubt apt that they should die - as all who have been heroes must. after all that is how poetic justice or 'injustice'(sic) can be shown.the background score is so fantastic (again lost for words!!) it is almost unbearable not to concentrate on it more than on the action on screen.but my question perhaps remains unanswered yet again, does the generation really awaken? i donot even hear people discussing the movie with fervour in public, or may be it is a personal realization and an awakening inside. one can find an excuse for no whispers or agitated voices even at the end of the movie- it was really moving, leaving us speechlees - with grief, sorrow, pain, hurt - some emotions indescribable because of their depth and variety.films should be like this and they are entertaining yet deep and meaningful. shades of every one of the characters drawn becomes apparent to the individual audience at different points of time.yet does the fil make a great differnece to the youth? will we not forget it as one of the first hits of 2006? may be once again "rang de basanti", yet one more film on colors, will be lobbyed out of india's nominations for oscars.it is filmy - unreal - i almost did not belive that the defense minister had been murdered. i do not know why but the character of 'karan' spoke to me more than any other. he seemed more human. not mouthing big words, doubtful, moved in love, pain, hurt and the rest will be history.whoever you are -unreal as u may be, i fell in love with you.
i just found out ur name was siddharth, cool name dude!!
