Masak Kali Masak Kali; Ud Matak Matak Matak Kali... Films just happen. Good films just happen, rather. Rang de Basanti just happened, and its already part of my soul. The wait seemed over when they said Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is coming up with another gem. The wait proved amazingly good. In fact, better than the movie itself. I never wanted Mehra to be just another director, who came, showed, and failed to conquer. He indeed did conquer my senses and sensibilities in huge proportions the moment Rang de Basanti started rolling. Mehra dear, what ails you now? Rang de Basanti turned out to be a gem. An opus. The cast, the storyline, the roobaroos and the padhsaalas all make me think sane, every moment, moment after moment. Remember, the television set that starts blaring when hit from all sides. You portrayed the Indian psyche with elan when you placed the telly in your frames. RBD's characters never carried a mobile phone, they communicated with their souls. Delhi proves to be India
