She is helped by her friend Sonia who introduces her to her friends Karan, Aslam, Sukhi, and their head DJ. Sue comes to India to make a film on Indian revolutionaries. The story of six young Indians who assist an English woman to film a documentary on the freedom fighters from their past, and the events that lead them to relive the long-forgotten saga of freedom. Strong film and one of the better Hindi movies I've seen so far.Color It Yellow AKA Rang De Basanti (2006) (EN subs & commentary) 265-budgetbits Sure, there will be people that won't like it, believing that the film glorifies this kind of action, but I don't think the film makers intended it that way. I cannot really speak about it without spoiling it, but suffice to say that the film takes a rather dramatic and even dark turn near the end of the second act. I was also surprised by the direction the plot takes. This film speaks strongly for an inclusive and all-encompassing India, and it does it well. Aamir Khan is as great as always, but all the rest of the main actors are also superb, and varied in the characters they're portraying. The college students play the characters and we're every now and then reminded that this is indeed a film. But it's all channeled through the documentary. We see the young rebels fighting for India's freedom, so in essence the film jumps between two timelines. What I liked about this film the most is how it juggles its storytelling. There she recruits a bunch of college students to play the key parts and slowly introduces them to the history of their own country, which they have so far dismissed as corrupted and beyond salvation. So she packs her bags and travels to India to film the documentary even without the help of her studio. It is after all based on a story left to her by her grandfather.
But she has already sacrificed so much for the film, believing strongly in it. A British documentary filmmaker gets denied her funding at the last minute.
