You have to be the change you want to see in this world, right? I’ve been waiting to see this movie for a LONG time. All the actors/actresses in the movie were very good…my two favorites were Atul Kulkarni and Aamir Khan. It’s been a while since I’ve seen an Aamir movie, and this reminded me why I’ve liked him so much. The story is about a British documentary filmmaker who comes to India to make a movie about all the revolutionaries her grandfather wrote about while working as British officer. At first the 5 guys chosen to play the revolutionaries can’t relate to their characters because they’ve never felt so deeply about something that they could give up their lives. Circumstances change this as the movie develops. There is so much corruption in the Indian government, police force, and politics. This movie tries to test your emotions about all of them. I’ll tell you one thing…I was angry after I finished this movie. Every now and then you hear a song that really touches a cord…Luka Chuppi kind of rips your heart open. I’m not sure if it’s the lyrics, the scene in the movie, or a mix of both…but WOW. AR Rahman does it again with soft beats that echo loudly. Translated lyrics: “ What do I tell you about the place I am, mother?/There is an open sky here for me to fly/Like your stories it is innocent and beautiful / Don’t worry, my kite is flying, mother / Nobody can steal my string or cut it in the middle.”
