Spoilers ahead.

Rang de basanti was damn good. The best couple of that movie was not Amir Khan and Alice Patten; it wasn't even Madhavan and Soha Ali Khan; it was 'Lakshman' and 'Aslam'. They tried to ignore the attraction initially; they fought a lot, they even ignored each other for a while... but after being lathi charged, they gave in to what the rest of us saw as inevitable. They made a really hot couple. They acted together, ate together, even died together. Tho Thweet. 'Aslam' was all poetic, artsy studliness and 'Lakshman' the strong, silent type.

Jokes aside, it was a good movie. They even cried realistically. Siddharth made a great cynical, spoilt rich kid battling his demons and Sharman Joshi was cute without being nauseating. When it started, I thought, "Oh no. Not another 40 yr old man as a college wannabe playboy !". I am so thankful it didn't turn out that way. God was kind. It is not an Aamir Khan movie the way Troy was a Brad Pitt movie. Thank the Gods! The Bhagat Singh interludes were also interesting. Some of the scenes seemed as if they had been lifted right off 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh'. Maybe they were going for the 'imitation is the best form of flattery' defense.

It was also a good movie because it had one dead politician and a dead crooked bureaucrat, both of them didn't see it coming. Yay!

Murder and Mayhem! Riots! Shiny people turned into emotional wrecks! Great Songs! Fooooood! Corruption! Power to the young people! Perfect recipe for a great movie.

P.s.: Love the United States Postal Service ad on Launchcast. "... right now you have managed to convert your computer into a very expensive... radio."
