Rang de Basanti!

Note: Please do ensure you have watched the movie before reading the post.

Very few times in our life are we actually stirred from the very inside of our existence. And this movie did ensure that this happens and at least this happened with me.
I really feel I have watched some real movie today after 'Life is Beautiful'. The two movies end in a strikingly similar fashion - end of life for some purpose. However the paths to the end are very different. Roberto Bengini works very simply and peacefully to save his son in Life is Beautiful. However, Rang de Basanti rests on passion of its protagonists and purpose they come to understand in the later part of the story. A bigger purpose indeed.
It is difficult to accept that a few of us can go out and kill some person and then go to the radio station and connect ourselves to the whole nation. However, that was the filmi part of the movie. The real essence is in Siddharth's final answer to a question - "Do you think you are going to change things like these? These politicians will continue to dominate and ruin our country like these...". And he just answers - "Every one of us has to bring a change in ourselves. Each one of us has a responsibility which we must fulfill".
I really believe this is the way life has to be lived. It must have some purpose. Rather than blaming others, we should be bold enough to accept our responsibility towards the overall state of the system. And if others don't support, we should at least fulfill our part. Who knows. If not the antagonist, the unwary roamer may flow into the slow current and does some good to the world.
