This movie is a faithful follow up to traffic which I had thoroughly enjoyed too. George Clooney is a Kinda of a main character in it although the rushed pace of the film might confuse most viewers but in the end you can make out that the characters in the film are all connected.

The reality about oil and terrorism is very evident in the film, I could feel the hurt and the anguish of the supposed terrorist in the movie since I have personally seen the plight of oil workers in the oil rich middle east.

The US creates problems it tries to eliminate. The movie takes no sides and shows us a non biased view of oil, terrorism and the supposed energy crisis.

Rang de basanti is a well made film and thoroughly enjoyable. The acting and screenplay is brilliant and this fits in another one of the all time greats of Hindi Cinema. Brilliant Soundtrack by A R Rehman and Aamir Khan's acting adds all up.

THe only problems I had with the movie were -

1. A white girl speaking broken but kinda fluent Hindi --- Come On!! that was really cheesy. 2. Some of the patriotism stuff was really too cheesy. 3. There is something called restraint while dealing with terrorists??? Hellloooo.. Most terrorists in nearly all civilized countries are given a chance to surrender and go under trial. The commandos simply do not shoot on site unless its a hostage situation. 4. Do you think the Government is stupid?? not to know who killed the Defense minister?? Again some bollywood stupidity I see.

Some of my friends said this movie was too revolutionary. I was disappointed in the end after seeing it, it was good definitely but not the best.

hotel rwanda is a thrilling and bone chilling movie that will keep you on the edge of your seats.

it shows the compelling plot of a protagonist trapped in a brutal war he doesn't like and doing everything he can to protect his family and the people he loves and at the same time managing a hotel!! the movie also shows the colonial legacy left behind and the indifference still shown by many white nations towards the plight in Africa. in short a movie where one man tries everything to escape the hell going down while rich people in the US, europe at their dinners shrug and say "terrible scene of events" and go on with their lives.

a must see movie!!
