"There are two primary choices in life - to accept conditions as they exist or accept responsibility for changing them. Rang de Basanti is about changing them," so says the director Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra.

'Rang De Basanti' deals with a topic that is very relevant to contemporary times. It talks of several youngsters with different aspirations from life. The movie is about the rise in the consciousness of today's youth, their values and realizations of their Indian culture/heritage.

RDB tells the story of Sue a British filmmaker happens upon diaries written by her grandfather who served in India during the 1930s as a member of the British Police force. Through his words, the fire and passion are ignited within her and she begins to see what is missing in her life. This gives her the idea to create a film based on the information in the diaries. A lone Indophile, she knows want she wants and embarks on a journey that will change her life forever. Arriving in India, she finds five friends who at first refuse to do her film, as the ideals of patriotism and sacrificing oneself for their country are foreign to them. But after conceding to take on the challenge, they travel to Punjab, the land that gave up many martyrs to India's freedom struggle against the British.
