Yup thats the movie! I have been hearing a lot of rumors and excitement about this movie. Some of my freinds here felt for 30 mins after the movie that they should go back to India, some think its just a movie...some lost there speech and were silent for next half day !!! Some said its going to create a wave !! Come on, give me a break...!!Have we really become so serious that we have started taking bollywood movies literally? And I don't understand what's wrong with bollywood? Why have they changed their agenda of making movies with people running around trees or in the streets to such high voltage movies?
It all started with Lagaan, followed by "Swadesh" and "YUVA", last year. And this year 'RDB' !! Has our film industry finally become revolutionized and evolutionized? Have they finally realized how much they can influence the mass ? No, I don't think so....I have known some movies which had direct influence on me and my life, both personally and professionally For e.g., City of Joy, Born Free, Forest Gump etc etc..But can it really create a social change, change in how people think, change in what they think!
May be, May be not! Who knows, time will say! I am just being a skeptic as usual ! After all change is the other name of 'growth' ! And India IS growing exponentially, geometrically and progressively in technology, science, economically...(and offcourse - population!!). May be it is true, when the whole plant starts growing, along with it grows each of its leaves and stems till it becomes a huge tree, and so would the country!
Opps, I forgot to mention about Bhagat Singh...That was another classic of the recent time...No to mention 'Gandhi'...but that was Hollywood! With the intellectual and passionate director's that we have today atleast we have some examples of hitting a balance between 'Box office hits' and 'Profits'! Anyways, so going back to the movie....here is a link to an after affect of Rang De Basanti!

I agree that it is the general behavior of people to be affected by things like these for a short time. They will get back to their usual self very soon. :)
The movies have influence on your short term views. But they are never gonna change. It's like leprechaun gold. You feel exulted that you have it; next moment it's not there.
One thing I don't agree upon though. Swades was a very good movie. In fact, by my standards its a movie which has the 3 E's - Express, Entertain, Educate.
well the usual stuff .. i was just happy to that no skinny clad hobo like female popped out of now where to dance for the item number.
about the rest, the movie had a msg, i.e. never take movies seriously, afterall they are just fscking movie .. movie are made to see and appreciate what cant be done in real life .. [i am yet to understand that part]
AFA, ppl who took/take it seriously - /me bows, /me encourages those species
