Mohe Rang Dia Basanti.......

Finally, I've seen it!! And it did not disappoint me in anyway.... Here was a project which would've been the actors' dream N now wud be a part of their cherishable memories 4 ever, here was a project where the music-director struck together the melodious chords of Patriotic zeal and fervour, N more importantly here was a project where the director tried to ignite that hidden burning passion in the youth of today to do something worthy for our motherland. And I must say they've all come out with flying colors N succeeded in coloring these vibrant souls - the Youth of today - with this special color "Basanti".

Yeah, after having already read a lot of reviews about it in the media, and right here in the blogging fraternity from many of my friends, I finally, finally managed to see Rang De Basanti(RDB) this week, and it was nothing but juz a perfect film. Well, most of the people out there would have already seen the movie, may be twice, thrice or even more than that :) , and for those who are yet to see this wonderful film, do not devoid yourself of such a beautiful movie - Go N watch it!!

I'd heard some critics say that Aamir had juz become too old & was past his prime for such a role, but I'd beg to differ. In fact, being such a versatile actor that he is, Aamir has in fact still managed to lend that youthful touch to the role, and served as the pivot for the movie, inspiring n motivating all along the way!!

The lyrics of Prasoon Joshi and the music of AR Rehman, have juz mesmerised us to say the least. Well to me personally Javed Akhtar has been the best lyricist for a long time now. And here Prasoon Joshi has been able to strike the chord with the Youth. Some of these lyrics by him have juz made a home in our hearts.....and I juz cannot stop humming them....


  • Be it these lines from the song 'Rubaroo', where a sense of satisfaction, the spirit of freedom, friendship and love comes to the fore......

"Dhuaan chhataa khula gagan mera
nayi dagar naya safar mera
jo ban sake tu hamsafar mera
nazar mila zara....."

  • Or be it these lines where he has so touchingly brought out that motherly love n her sense of longing after the separation from her son....

"Luka Chuppi bahut huyi saamne aa ja naa
Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe thak gayi hai ab teri maa
Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar..aa ja na...."

  • Or be it these lines where he describes that process of generating the true fervour and patriotic zeal of that special color........

"Thodisi dhuul meri dharti ki mere watan ki
thodisi khushbuu baurai si mast pavan ki
thodisi dhondhane waali dhak-dhak dhak-dhak dhak-dhak saansein
jinmein ho junoon junoon woh boonde laal lahuu ki
yeh sab tu mila mila le phir rang tu khila khila le
aur mohe tu rang de basanti yaara
mohe tu rang de basanti"

The team of RDB has really made an impact, a srong one for that matter of fact, on the hearts, and minds and souls of the youth. Another noteworthy initiative, which came in to light recently, of a group of IITians, drawing inspiration from Yuva and forming a political party Paritrana, is also commendable in this regard.



It has truly made me say this - "Mohe Rang Dia Basanti...." and I would like to see that - Jo Rang chadha hai aaj (The color the movie has painted on our hearts and souls today) - shows its true vibrant spirit in a Bright N Shining nation for the generations to come.....
