The film has remained young and evergreen and I don’t know how to describe it but it is a humbling experience to see your work remain relevant. It also travelled well all over the world, not just in festivals, in educational institutions, film schools, management studies and found its way to various facets of life. Even when it was released, it had a huge impact, not just to cinema goers but to the collective consciousness of the nation.
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, director 15 years of Rang De Basanti: The team reveals what makes it timeless I was so happy that I went to my car and started screaming with joy. After acting two-three scenes, I got an okay from Mehra. I’d auditioned for this part, and back then, in the early days of my career, it was a dream to be cast then and there. To say, present characters relate to the past but to bring it on celluloid is difficult. There’s one scene I remember, when we are in a jeep and all of us are high on alcohol and Aamir turns his left and he sees Chandra Shekhar Azad riding on a horse. The difficult part was how the past and the present would work out, the characters are shooting a play and they start relating to it and begin living the characters. We did discuss the screenplay and how it would translate onscreen but Mehra did it beautifully.
It was an exceptional film but a difficult one too. It turned out to be a cult film and it had so much to offer, in terms of entertainment and social message. The subject is still topical and it will always be, as in struggle of people with the government. Rang De Basanti is one of the films closest to my heart. Sharman Joshi (played the role of Sukhi Ram) 15 years of Rang De Basanti: The team reveals what makes it timeless What is it about Rang De Basanti that makes it relevant even after 15 years of it’s release? Was it the story about five friends? The performances by the actors- Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, Atul Kulkarni, Kunal Kapoor, Siddharth to name a few? Or the music by AR Rahman? We get talking to the team to know what is it about RDB that we are still talking about it even today:
