A still from 'Rang De Basanti' |
Performances- Brilliant. There's no character that can be singled out for bad performance. Aamir Khan is brilliant as usual, playing the fun loving carefree guy with as much ease as the rudely awakened guy. The intensity that comes in later is mind blowing. But on the downside he doesn't look his character. Age has crept into his face. He doesn't look like a 25-year-old guy any more.
The other three guys; Kunal Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, and Siddharth are great and fit into their characters well. We wonder why a talented actor like Sharman Joshi hasn't yet found his slot in Bollywood! The three youngsters look very comfortable sharing the screen with a huge star like Aamir. The foursome really deserves credit for this.
Soha is a revelation but she needs to really do something about her makeup. Her close-ups are really bad. Alice Patten is very confident and talented. Seasoned actors like Om Puri, Kirron Kher and the veteran Waheeda Rehman have cameo roles but they leave their marks. The film also boasts of great music especially the title song and 'Patshala'. Brilliant cinematography and action sequences. But don't pin hopes on this film at the box office. It's a case of something, somewhere gone wrong!
**1/2 (Two and a half stars)
