'This movie is one of the very best in the recent times' - this is my opinion. In this review I am not going to reveal anything about the story or how the director has executed the scenes. This blog is just for showering word of eulogy on the wonderful crew which has given one of the best movies in recent times.
First good thing about this movie is that this is a director's movie and not the actor's movie. This movie doesn't have high decibel villain or aye aye hero. Still it manages to enthrall the audiences in big way. Something that directors like Ramana and Perarasu has to learn. This movie is classical, at the same time an entertaining one.
I will review in the descending order of their performances.
Dialogue writer and Lyricist : Prasoon Joshi. He is impecabble in this movie. Both his lyrics and dialogues are beyond words. Just for his performance itself, one can watch this movie. Whatever you get from other crew members are just bonus. If you can understand Hindi, you will surely enjoy his work. To me, he sets up the tone for this movie.
Director : Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. After seeing this movie, everyone will start to respect this man. Today, most of the directors largely believe in one wrong philosophy about direction. Direction = Great Camera work + Fast Editing + Catchy Music. But it is not the case. These misguided directors can learn a lot from this man who looks to be a good prospect. Infact the story is simple which we can predict easily. But he took the movie to the next level with his direction. Hats off to him
Actors and Actress : Aamir, Madavan, Siddharth, Kunal Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Atul Kulkarni, Soha Ali Khan, Alice Patten, Waheeda Rahman. Every one in this movie has done a neat job. Aamir, infact is more a supporting role than an out and out hero. For that itself we have to applaud Aamir's guts and non egoist nature for letting others act. He, as an actor, did a wonderful job and came out with full marks as usual. Siddharth is the surprise package in this movie. He can be considered as the hero of this movie. He is very convincing and we wonder whether the same Siddharth acted in the film 'Boys'. Sharman Joshi, depicted like a MTVish boy, is the one who makes the audiences laugh and he is very very lively. Kunal Kapoor and Atul Kulkarni showed immense maturity in acting. Madavan, as guest appearance, did his job very well. Soha Ali khan, as Madavan's romance, is perfect in each and every expressions. Alice Patten, the foreigner, is comfortable with the Hindi pronunciation as well the screen presence. For a change, in Indian Film industry, both of the two young women have acted and didn't do anything silly or unnecessary. Waheeda Rahman, as Madavan's mother has nothing to do other than crying for her son. Every actor has delivered the dialogue with panache and style. This requires a special mention.
Music : A R Rahman. I have to feel sorry for my favorite A R Rahman. Inspite of giving some good music for both songs and BGM, which are very catch and situational, his effort is over shaded by the director, lyricist and by the actors which is a 'blessing in disguise' kind of thing. All his songs are very meaningful, thanks to Prasoon Joshi and BGMs enhances the scene very well. My favorite song is 'Rooba Roo', Title number and Patashala. Infact he got more applause than Aamir when his name appeared on the screen. People really recognize him and his music very well.
Camera work and Editing are brilliant, mainly in the second half. Kamalesh Pandey takes care of Story and Screenplay which is simple and flawless. Finally we have thank UTV and Ronnie Screwvala for producing this majestic movie.
Minus : First you have to wear a powerful microscopic specs to find an hole in this movie. There are two minus points in this movie and both of them we are minuscule. One the first half is little bit slow and in two places the BGMs were little bit loud. Other than these two, I can't find one.
Final Say : Great movie which is not going to leave the theaters and audiences without trace. Surely going to knock the door for many awards for dialogues, direction, performances, music and several others. 'Rang De Basanti' meaning we want to be colorful that is we want to achieve something special - this is the definition given by the director in an interview to NDTV and he has achieved that with the help of a talented crew. At the same time, how he is going to cope up with the pressure, infact expectation, when he releases the next movie. An Himalayan Task
The Hindu say 'It can't get better than this.' I completely agree with this.
