RDB!

Saw Rang De Basanti today! It is a very nice movie and will do great business outside India. I am not going to come out with the spoilers though! Performances by everyone were darn good. Contrary to what I thought, it was not an Aamir Khan movie alone. He did not do any screen-stealing at all. And thank god for that (If it was SRK, the movie would have turned out very differently!). His performance, needless to say was excellent! Every character was etched beautifully and each of them do justice to the role. Atul Kulkarni, Sharman Joshi, Kunal Kapoor and Soha Ali Khan were extremely good. Madhavan, Om Puri, Waheeda Rehman, Anupam Kher and Kiron Kher chipped in equally with their performances as well. Siddharth's performance deserves a special menation. He was nothing short of fantastic (For the uninitiated, he played Vivek Oberoi's role in Yuva's Tamil version)! He emoted really well in the climax and had as much screen share as Aamir himself.

One specific scene that comes to my mind is, when they all wish to have a running race, Sharman zooms ahead just to see that others did not even start. Then they eventually start running when Sharman backs out (literally), except for Siddharth who just walks haphazardly, with coolers on, and a cigar in his hand. That was amazing!
