I am not a big fan of bollywood movies ......but this one left me thinking ......very different storyline in the sense no one has ever attempted to infuse such kind of patriotic theme in a contemporary style .......performances are great too ......kudos to Aamir as well as Siddhartha ......others have acted well too......Me being in Los Angeles ......away from India ..........really felt very touched ........I dont think that this kind of movie has ever been made ........very different approach .........i sincerely hope that this movie should be Indias entry to Oscar next year (rather than something as stupid as Paheli this year ) ........Great work by Rakeysh Mehra ..........these kinds of movies surely show some hopes for otherwise creatively bankrupt bollywood ........specially those multi starrers are highly avoidable ( latest worst movie was Shaadi no 1 ) and all this while I thought Boom could be the worst movie of the millenium ..........Cheers to Rang de Basanti !!!!
