If the first half abounds in light moments, the post-interval portions get into a serious mode. The story takes a turn when one of their friends [Madhavan] expires in an air crash.

Audience Reviews for Rang De Basanti

Rang De Basanti was the best film that year. Starring Aamir Khan, Siddharth, Kunal Kapoor and Atul Kulkarni in prime roles, the film is a majestical ode to our revolutionaries. It is also the best political drama to come out of India in the history of Indian cinema, since it told us what many people couldn't talk about. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra levels up the game, as does Alice Patten as a historian and researching filmmaker. But what works more that the film also carries within it an impeccable style of filmmaking, something we rarely get to see.
