Influenced by "Rang De Basanti"

Suddenly, I remebered the days some years before when I was in Nepal. The political situation of Nepal at that time was very unconditional. Political Parties were on strieke of the then government directly ruled by King. Situations were being more critical and in the mean time "Rang De Basanti" produced n acted by Aamir Khan was released in Bollywood. As far I know Nepal is one of the good market for Bollywood Film Industries.

"Rang De Basanti" was released in such time when the political situation of Nepal was like as shown in the Film. Actors of the film were like youngsters of Nepal. If you have to change the society, you must start within yourself.

It was around 12 o'clock in the mid-night when me and my friend finished the movie and we were in our bed. Suddenly, Roshan asked, "Bibek, are you asleep?", I answered," No, I am not".
Lets go and kill Kamal Thapa ( Home Minister of that time ). I was surprised and laughed at him. He told the movie is really meaningful. Let's be Dj (aamir khan ) of that movie who really taught the meaning of struggle. Oh my god ! He is really influenced by the movie and the movie worth it.Then, I believed yup the movies really influence people and resemble our practical life.

Thanks to Aamir Khan for making such a influencing movie.

Hi Bibek, interesting post. No wonder if you and your friend is influenced by the movies made by Aamir Khan. He is undisputedly - The Perfectionist. He mesmerizes the audience with his unique storyline, direction and acting skills though he produces 1 movie per year.

I am at a loss for not watching his "Rang de Basanti" or "Lagaan" yet. Would like to own dvd's of the same soon. Aamir Khan began his journey in "QSQT" - Qayamat Se Qayamat Taq co-staring with Juhi Chawla. "Ham Hai Rahi Pyar Ke" is another movie of Aamir Khan which I liked verymuch.

There's great acting in "Fanah". His recent hit "Taare Zamin Par" is a must watch for all. I enjoyed this verymuch.

You may peek into his blog www.aamirkhan.com-blog to know him more closer.

Ciao ciao
bert.

I have seen only few scenes from Rang De Basanti of Aamir Khan while my Nepali group of friends were watching. Was it that really so influential and made you not sleep that night after watching the movie? Well, praise to be given to the director because the movie was so effective and it almost conquered your thoughts and you were able to compare it from the political crisis in Nepal. Enjoy watching more meaningful films! I miss you Bibek Thapa!
