Mumbai Refreshed

There are numerous posts on Rang De Basanti doing the web sphere. This is not a synopsis/review of the movie. In my opinion the movie was mediocre at best.

I met someone from the production team of UTV and was stunned by what he had to say. The movie has been the highest grossing film in Bollywood history. It is competing with Hollywood Oscar nominators in its collection figures (INR 228 million in the first four days). The movie has stormed markets like Australia and UK. They have received emails from people all over the world recounting stories of how the movie changed them, they want to get involved in national movements and make the world a better place.

Melodramatic. But so was the movie. A bunch of overgrown 20 somethings leading a movement of anarchy: this getting validated by the conservative millions of the Indian population. I am sure Ronnie didn’t expect this, nor did Rakesh Omprakash Mehra.

Leads us to the million-dollar question. What makes people tic?
