About Rang De Basanti
The film centers on a group of carefree, spirited young friends whose lives are seemingly ordinary until they are drawn into the making of a documentary about India’s freedom fighters. Initially, their involvement is lighthearted and playful, a chance to step into the shoes of the country’s revolutionary heroes. However, as they immerse themselves in the stories of sacrifice, courage, and resistance, the lines between the past and their present begin to blur. The characters start to recognise parallels between the struggles of the freedom fighters and the injustices and corruption they witness in modern society. This awakening sparks a profound transformation, compelling them to question their own choices, responsibilities, and the world around them. What begins as a simple project gradually evolves into a journey of self-discovery, moral reckoning, and bold action, as the friends confront uncomfortable truths and take life-altering steps to stand against the systemic wrongs they encounter.
