Rakeysh MehraÂs power-packed film ÂRang De Basanti is going to premiere on National TV this 20th August. Keeping the spirit of freedom alive, the modern day Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bismil, Sukhdev and Ashfaqullah will set guns blazing yet again after breaking all Box Office records the world over. The zeal of RDB has also reflected in real life when the youth took to the streets in the Jessica Lal murder case or the anti-reservation agitation in the medical stream of education. It rarely happens that a film has such an impact on the psyche of common folks. Before you check out the Big Ticket movie on Star Plus at 8, check out a few comments from the lead star cast about what makes RDB tick:
Aamir Khan: ÂBasanti is the color of sacrifice. So when a person says ÂManne Rang De BasantiÂ, it means that he/she is ready to be colored in the color of sacrifice. The central theme in RDB is telling youth to take matters into their own hands, to take control, get involved and mobilized to propel society into the right direction. It is based on the poem by Dushyant Kumar ÂAaj bhi jiska khoon na khola, khoon nahi who paani hai, jo desh ka kaam na aaye. Woh bekaar jawaani hai.Â
Rakeysh Mehra: RDB is about todayÂs generation, how they feel, what they aspire to be, their inner conflicts. ItÂs about the India today which is young, colorful, vibrant and energetic and at the same time holds a strong message. There is this small voice inside all of us. We all sit on the fence and try to say things like this should not happen, that should not happen. RDB is about crossing the fence and making things happen. ItÂs like listening to your inner voice. If youÂre asleep itÂs like your wake - up call. The actors have actually been born from the characters on paper.
Prasoon Joshi: to me an emotional commitment happened when I heard the script. Something just blew my mind. I said this is a great idea and IÂd love to be part of this film. It took me time to get into the groove. Once I was there, dialogues wrote themselves. Whether song or dialogue I became a medium and all these things passed through me and am fortunate that I was the medium to express a thought for this generation today. I hope that every individual watches this movie so that they get in touch with the fire that is there within them.
Soha Ali Khan: I wasnÂt really aware at most times the way I dressed, looked, behaved. I was just like any one the boys. It helped me explore other aspects of my personality things that are so natural to me, that I haven't explored in other films. ItÂs a heart-breaking, heart wrenching film where all of us feel the beauty of our hearts and souls.
Kunal Kapoor: The thing that I liked best about my character Aslam, is that he is a liberal in between fanatics. HeÂs very open, liberal and even goes to the Golden Temple. All his friends are Hindus, and he doesnÂt let that affect him, his choices. One needs a lot of strength to be like Aslam.
