On the 71st Independence Day, I attended the Flag Hoisting Ceremony at the main administrative building of MKBU. Dr. Zala, who has hoisted the flag, gave information about our freedom fighters and also remembered our soldiers who are on the border for our safety.
After this ceremony, I attended the screening of the thrilling movie Rang de Basanti. Which was arranged at the English Department. I just became mesmerized after watching this film. First, I would like to introduce the whole team for the movie.

First, I would like to tell you about the meaning of the film's title, Rang de Basanti: Color of Sacrifice. Another meaning is 'Rang de Mohe'.
The movie starts with a British lady named Sue coming to India to find actors who can act in her documentary film. The documentary, or we can say diary, is of her grandfather, who was the jailer of the jail where Bhagatsingh, Sukhdev,Sukhdev and many more were imprisoned. The main theme of the film is the independence movement of that time and how today's youth are concerned with the sacrifice of freedom fighters.
Sue stays with Sonia at college. There she takes the auditions of the students, but no one can feets in the character. After passing some time by chance, she finds all those courageous freedom fighter images in Sonia's friends (DJs Karan, Sukhi, and Aslam) . So she meets all these friends, and they are all busy dancing, drinking, racing,Racing and other unproductive activities. She goes to a party with them. While they are all enjoying the party at that time, Laxman Pandey comes with his party's members and tells them to stop doing this all-western activity. They all fight against each other, and at that time, the police come and try to catch them all, but DJ gives money to the police, and the police leave. Another thing about the film is that there is a story in the story. Initially, we see friends who are not at all familiar with the sacrifice of the freedom fighter. May be they know about them, but they don't want to live that life, or they have just not at all mind about the situation in the country. But while doing that, their souls start changing, and they start living a life like freedom fighters. The other story stratifies in the story. Lt. Ajay Rathod dies because of the defective parts of the plane. He is a friend of theirs and a fiancé of Sonia. They all come to know that behind all this, the defense minister and a businessman are involved in this crime. The interesting thing is that a businessman is the father of Karan.
At the end of the film, they go to India Gate with the candle march for the justice of their friend. But they are all beat by police. Finally, they all become violent as they all act in the story of Bhagatsingh, Rajguru,and Chandrashekhar Azad. They planned to kill the defense minister. They become successful in the plan. But they don't want to run away, and they themselves go to Radio Akashvani and accept that they have killed the defense minister. After that announcement, we learned that Karan also killed his father, and they were all encountered by Black Cat Commando. Yet we see them all happy while they are dying, as mentioned above, as freedom fighters.
Main points of the film:
The narrative technique of the movie is story within story.
Youth of India.
Courageous mother.
Women also join in the movement.
Corruption.
An outsider comes and teaches us.
Outsiders were mesmerized after seeing the style of corruption, which is normal for us.
Police of the country.
Mythical use of character (Bhagatsingh, Chandrashekhar Azad, etc.)
Politicians and businessmen have a relationship.
Use of true events.
For them, kranti means violence.
Hindu-Muslim relation.
to fit the defective part. (all my sons).
use of public places for showing feelings. (In today's time, social media)
So we can say that there is still corruption. One more thing is that people are beat by their own protectors. It is a very good idea for a director to portray the history of our freedom fighters, today's youth's evils, or the relation between politicians and the corporate world. Patriotism is also there. One more thing about the film is that it was controversial because, as we know, the famous proverb 'Truth is always bitter'. In that sense, MiG, the defense field, politicians, and political parties were the obstacles to releasing the film, but yet it was released and got a very good response. So I can say it was worth to watch.It is also very informative.
Thankyou....
