New India
Hello, world! - Starter
Bollywood is a beacon of hope for many young people in India.
On 26 January 2006 (Independence Day) it released its most popular film yet, Rang de Basanti.
Read this review:
She flies to Delhi and tries to find five young people to star in her film. But no-one is interested. To them the idea of being a revolutionary, and giving up your life for your beliefs, is the stuff text-books are made of. They would rather shop, socialise and party. Then, something happens, and the five embark on a journey that will change their lives…
This is not a run-of-the-mill type of film. It tells us so much about the ups and downs of being a young Indian today. Thrilling, and not to be missed
