20 years after its release, the cast of Rang De Basanti reunited for a special screening, reigniting the nostalgia for fans. The film, a tale of friendship and patriotism, has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. Aamir Khan, Soha Ali Khan, and their co-stars donned customized hoodies with the film's title, a fitting tribute to the iconic movie. The reunion was a heartwarming affair, with Soha Ali Khan sharing pictures and videos from the milestone celebration, expressing her gratitude for the experience. The film's plot revolves around a group of friends who, after graduating from Delhi University, find themselves drawn to their old campus. Their lives take an unexpected turn when they encounter a British filmmaker (Alice Patten) who plans to cast them in a film inspired by the sacrifices of Indian freedom fighters under British rule. Initially apolitical, the friends' patriotism is ignited when they lose a dear friend to local government corruption. The story then unfolds to showcase how they avenge their friend's death. Rang De Basanti won four National Film Awards, including Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The film's impact on Indian cinema is undeniable, and the reunion serves as a testament to its enduring legacy. But here's where it gets controversial... The film's portrayal of patriotism and revenge might be seen as glorifying violence by some. And this is the part most people miss... The film's underlying message of friendship and unity is what truly makes it a timeless classic. So, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the film's portrayal of patriotism?
