Rang
De
Basanti,
the
name
of
a
film
that
everybody
must
have
seen
by
now.
The
film
that
somewhere
and
somehow
inspires
you
to
do
something
for
you
country.
Yesterday
on
the
eve
of
Republic
Day
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
Rakeysh
OmPrakash
Mehra's
film
Rang
De
Basanti
celebrated
5
years
of
its
success.
A
special
screening
of
the
film
was
organised
for
everyone
in-order
to
celebrate
the
fifth
anniversary
of
the
film.
The
crowd
included
actor
Aamir
Khan
with
wife
Kiran
Rao,
director
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra,
Kunal
Kapoor,
Sharman
Joshi
and
Atul
Kulkarni
and
producer
Ronnie
Screwvala.
The
party
was
organised
at
the
producers
house.
Rang
De
Basanti
speaks
about
a
British
documentary
filmmaker
who
wants
to
make
a
film
on
the
Dairy
entries
of
her
Grandfather,
who
was
an
ex-officer
in
the
British
Army.
The
story
is
on
the
freedom
fighters
of
India.
She
meets
a
group
of
five
friends
in
India
and
asks
the
five
young
people
to
act
in
her
film.
While
they
start
off
with
the
film
in
a
not
so
serious
manner,
the
actual
krantikari
in
them
takes
birth
when
they
lose
one
of
their
friend
in
a
crash
of
a
fighter
aircraft.
They
then
come
across
all
the
corruptions
in
the
Indian
government
system
which
was
responsible
for
the
demise
of
their
friend.
This
incident
changes
the
entire
plot
of
the
story
and
transforms
the
carefree
and
lively
men
to
passionate
and
serious
human
beings
who
want
to
avenge
their
friends
death
and
eradicate
the
corruption
from
the
Indian
system.
