India, Rang de basanti & Chivas Regal...

Chivas Regal and 'Rang De Basanti'...what a virile combination...

The movie 'Rang De Basanti' makes you fall in love with your country all over again...
India, the myriad cultures and languages (yet united), numerous political parties with different idealogies representing different population, restless, ambitious and enthu youth, brilliant economic future. So vibrant. Soon-to-be-superpower. Worth living and dying for.
This part may seem cliched... but yes we do have our prblems and drawbacks. Which country doesn't have or hasn't had it's share of problems.

Coming back to Chivas Regal, it's good, not as smooth as Jack&Coke.
And Rang De Basanti...
The first half is interesting, refreshing and closer to reality. The song Ek Onkar and picturization of theme song surges patriotism bordering jingoism. The second half is more dramatic, slow paced and sends out wrong message - take law into your own hands. But allinall the movie has been shot aesthetically and truly deserves all the credit it has been getting. Indian movies are coming of age...
