A fantastic movie on student activism, Rang De Basanti hits the right notes when it comes to portraying friendship and patriotism. The ways in which the script utilizes characters from India's past to awaken the patriotic spirit of India's future - the youth of the country - is so powerful. AR Rahman's music, as always, is soul-stirring, and I dare you to watch this film without crying when Luka Chuppi plays in the background.
