Movie Review: The struggle for freedom in Independent India through Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti
Even if you have not seen it, maybe you've heard of it, but you can definitely the music from itSuch is the immortal nature of Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra's 'Rang De Basanti', a film that is all about identity and purpose in a world where everyone is confused, but everyone forgets to question. The film starts like a Disney movie, but progresses into anything but that. A British woman (Sue) interested in the lives of those who fought for the freedom of India. A group of friends who could not be any less affected by the stories of courage that allowed them to live in democratic India. The irony is immense. When Sue decides to make a film, she is rejected by his bosses, who urge her to make a film on Gandhi, because 'Gandhi sells'. Yet she remains fixated on telling the stories of those she read about in her grandfather's journal. So she travels to India, and finds Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad, Rajguru, Durga Vohra, Ashfaqullah Khan and Ramprasad Bismil in a group of rebellious misfits from Delhi University, which feels utmost fitting. The problem? They don't seem to be particularly moved by the characters they have been asked to play. In fact, they don't even believe in the idea that modern India is free- Their thoughts and opinions are a subtle echo to the underwave of issues that exist in the country of imperfections. This is where the film's the interspersed themes of history, religion, the confusion of youth, all blend into one and the writing manages to find honesty in tone, especially whenever the friends talk, even if their conversations are serious, they treat each other exactly like a group of friends from college would. So as they pave their way through all of their hooliganism and banter, it is only when they put themselves in the shoes of others that they learn a deeper truth. A truth that has lied around us for decades (78 years to be exact), but we perhaps have overlooked it far too often, or taken it for granted. It cannot be overstated enough that Mehra's films come with an album that is a work of magic. Born out of the genius that is A.R. Rahman, each song is composed masterfully and captures the ethos of the situation perfectly. Be it the catchy tune that introduces us to the group of rebels without a cause, or the titular track itself that has the essence of Punjabi 'maati' (soil), or the melancholy you feel when Luka Chuppi plays, there is a diversity in so many ways in Mehra's film, that the music isn't restricted to a style or genre, nor are the characters similar, everyone is distinct, and their chemistry feels so natural, that you could argue that these are the kind of people you'd meet when you go to college. It is Mehra's understanding of music and where to place it that allows for the dramatic essence of a scene to unveil in full flow. Towards the climax in this film, he uses music to change the very tone of what most filmmakers would have treated in utmost contrasting fashion, and that is what truly makes Mehra's film stand out. Giving moments of hope, both in story and structure, only to take it away from you before returning it again, this back-and-forth style of Mehra's direction sees the film breathe life in a way you rarely see. Through the seeming 'misfits', Mehra manages to highlight a youth of India that is rapidly finding disbelief in the system, but through his political commentary, as widespread his thoughts may seem, ultimately circle back to changing the grassroots itself. To complain without action is to walk two steps backwards. He asks people to question politicians and politics, to demand answers, and seek the truth, and to stay true by it. He reminds you to remember those who fought for freedom- They too are like God in a sense for Mehra, and in a country where belief is built on the echelons of faith, he asks to choose carefully in who we put our belief in when it comes to leading a country of over a billion people.

Your movie snack order has a genre bias
Your movie snack order has a genre bias At a late-night screening of Mission Impossible last month, there was a long queue for F&B for the 11 pm show. Those in the cinema business say that's the thing about certain genres - they come with higher F&B orders. As per the Multiplex Association of India, this summer saw 80-90% occupancy at cinemas, which also meant much higher F&B sales. But here's what F&B experts at movies notice after observing binge-eating at movies- Moviegoers don't eat the same during every movie and they say that cinema snack cravings indeed change with the genre. While it may not be true for everyone. But most moviegoers prefer placing long orders for a film that doesn't require intense viewing. In fact, according to a study in the US by a ticket platform - most F&B items are sold during action and family entertainment movies. Viewers and exhibitors tell us about this much less discussed behaviour of moviegoers. 'Action movies get most popcorn sold' Action movies are popcorn movies indeed. Raj Bansal, veteran exhibitor and cinema business analyst says,'Action films, comedy films and family entertainment or Hollywood films like Marvel or superhero genre movies are among the films which get most F&B orders as it is also about the ritual of popcorn and food with the movie that people follow.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Various Pricing Options for Hospital Equipment in Belgium (Learn More) Hospital Equipment | Search ads Undo Shreyansh Sharma, a moviegoer in his 20s shares,'Of course it is about the ritual and also about the the fun in watching an action movie without popcorn. We have mostly ordered a lot of food in movies like Top Gun, War, Jawan, Mission Impossible and recently F1. Without popcorn and pizza these films are indeed not as enjoyable.' 'Comedy and family movies mean the F&B orders will keep coming' At the movies, what you eat often is decided by what you're watching. Exhibitor Yogesh Raizada says,'It's no maths actually. From our F&B orders, insights from concession counters etc we know as a matter of fact that certain genres like family movies, action movies, comedy movies where either families are coming together with kids or friend groups have come to enjoy a movie together more food gets ordered and a larger variety as well. F&B sales indeed go up with good entertaining movies.' Faizal Khan, a moviegoer shares,'I watched Andaz Apna Apna during its re-release, and we had already ordered multiple times - Comedy movies indeed brings out the worst kind of eating - mindless. It's so funny because you're enjoying and ordering and eating like no one's watching - because everyone is too busy laughing. We often take unlimited popcorn refill offers only in comedy movies and at a recent rom-com (Materialist) I even got it filled thrice. ' Yogesh Raizada adds,'But it's not that romantic movies are a deterrent to F&B sale. Order could be slightly on the lower side.' 'Horror, films with gory scenes or scenes which fill one with disgust comparatively set a lower benchmark for cinema snacks' Some films indeed turn snacks into props. Ushers agree that in most horror movie shows fans prefer not to buy not only because they won't be able to finish but also because they want an immersive experience which doesn't happen with stacked trays. "There have been films where I bought something and the food remains untouched," says Kamya Singh, a moviegoer in her 30s. She shares,'I went for a show of Companion this year with a tub of popcorn and left with the same tub - When you're watching a horror movie, any sound can scare you. I had also ordered a veg wrap and every time I would open it mid-scene someone would shush me. I didn't know it was a kind of horror movie so I ordered food. If you are watching a psychological thriller and someone is eating even three rows away, that sound really makes noise in the silence. Plus people do not order during horror movies, mostly because most people can't eat during a horror movie.' Pratik Chandra, a moviegoer in his 40s shares,'We went for Bloodline show some time back and I cautioned my friend to not order because I knew that we won't be able to finish and he laughed it off and every time he would try to eat something gross will happen on screen and he would not be able to finish.' He adds,'At least with certain genres like horror and movies about grief one is ready and you know that you must not order any food because it will be a waste. But sometimes films surprise you with very disgusting is a puke sequence in the Triangle of Sadness and we had ordered chocolate ice cream post interval. The order arrived a couple of minutes before that scene and that entire sequence was like 15 minutes and after it got over we lost our appetite as well.
