Rang de ... somebody ....

Watched RDB for some fifth or sixth time today.

Had maintained that mild aversion i had for the movie all this time, and it keeps reducing every time i discuss it. The main negative i find (rather found) with the movie is that that the story becomes intellectually incoherent (illogical, that is) at times. But apart from that, i should accept that it has been done beautifully.

But the main problem comes when you (I) start treating it more as an idea, more as a stimulus for provoking thought and action than just being a work of art/entertainment. That's when you (i)  get those bells ringing in your (my) head ..

... naye rang bharne ko,
khoon chala, khoon chala...

Are they really asking it. Erasing that concept of kar guzarne ko takes a lot of effort.

Common man. Be practical. Are you (am I) supposed to take that personally ?
