ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.....

ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
thodisi dhuul meri dharti ki mere watan ki
thodisi dhuul meri dharti ki mere watan ki
thodisi Khushbuu baurai se mast pavan ki
thodisi dhondhane waali dhak-dhak dhak-dhak dhak-dhak saansein
jin mein ho junoon junoon voh boonde laal lahuu ki
yeh sab tuu mila mila le phir rang tuu khila khila le
yeh sab tuu mila mila le phir rang tuu khila khila le
aur mohe tuu rang de basanti yaara
mohe tuu rang de basanti

Mind blowing....after a long time a movie which could touch many hearts!!!
When I saw the promos, I thought what a bunch of wastrel.....spoilt rich brats of Delhi, boozing and zooming around on mean machines....but when I watched the movie, I couldn’t help fall in love with them.

The concept is unique in the sense that it isn’t a patriotic movie, but somehow it still is!! How do you explain that?!!

Rakesh Mehra has delivered a thoughtful entertainer. The movie can be identified by the old as well as the young. The flashbacks to Shahid Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev and other freedom fighters would take elderly folks down the nostalgic lane....

The carefree, chillax attitude of the youngsters is also well captured. Aimless, frustrated, disillusioned and yet responsible!!!

The best thing about the movie is how both the past and the present has been blended together so well, producing a delicious treat for our hearts.....

Even the music blends so well with the movie, every song portrays the emotion of that particular scene so beautifully. The Pathshala song is so full masti, range de basanti song makes you want to dance with the colourful bhangra dancers, the Luka Chuppi song makes you feel grateful that your loved ones are still with you, safe and sound....

Without preaching, the movie sends across a message that the human emotions remain the same, even if the circumstances change. We react in the same manner that our ancestors reacted, for something which we feel passionate about.

RDB also gives a clear message that in our country one can get away with any kind of crime, even mass murders....but if you harm a politician, there is no saving you!!!

Hopefully, this movie may succeed in awakening the conscience of those who are responsible for making vital decisions on which the lives of so many young and innocent pilots depend. Ready they are to lay their lives for our nation, but dying pointlessly during routine exercise is a loss not only to the families of these young men but also to the entire nation.

Watch this movie friends, don’t miss it even for a million bucks!!!
