Rang De Basanti (Paint It Yellow), India 2006

[dangermousie]

Yes, today is a slow day

Rang De Basanti is a movie I am going to see this weekend. It's a Bollywood film dealing with alienation of youth and political or violent action. Also, it has songs and dances and romancing. So not all is bleak in the RDB world.

Here are some pictures, with some mocking (of course) captions.

Look, Ma! No hands!



One of these boys is not like the other, one of these boys just doesn't belong...Aha, spotted you, khaki pants!


Yes, you too can save insurance money by switching to Geiko:


Girl in center: I've always wanted to be a part of the GAP ad:


Brokeback Mountain, Bollywood Style:


They were going for Snow White and the 7 dwarves, but two of the dwarves went missing:


Yes, I like older women for their money. Your problem?


Girl: Honey, I did not know that "going back to nature" meant "we cannot afford a bed"


Aamir: Great, I can get these suckers to carry my sacks for me by preaching "experience native culture!"


Girl: What do you mean Aishwarya asked for a stack of money that big to do Mangal Pandey?
Aamir: And she wanted me to pay for a box to stand on when doing scenes with her, too!


Aamir: You are not cute enough to join our gang. Scram!


We are so angsty, the color is bleached out of our world:


Bandana freedom for all, no matter how hideous it makes you!


Flower Power IS the way to go!


Shhh. Don't tell anyone I am much too old to be in college. I am enjoying the beer and the babes:


Girl: He's got suuuuch a manly profile
Guy: And don't I know it!


The artistry of off-kilter shots!

Actually it looks like they're abducting Snow White. With or without the extra dwarves.

The One White Girl: Where am I? If I didn't know better I'd think I'd wandered into a musical.

ROFL. And why are they trying to drench me with a rain machine?

Everyone is squeeing about this movie and I thought it looked blah. I might have to change my mind... ;)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I want to see it because it sounds unusual. It might actually make me do my hour long drive to a Bolly theater! :P

Seen the BW parody from the (cheaply made) soap opera Passions?

You are kidding? ?????

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[thelana.livejournal.com]

Nope. The singing, OMG, the singing!

[wasabi-girl1.livejournal.com]

I saw it on TV. LOOOOOVED the girl's outfit, the blue one! :)

[wasabi-girl1.livejournal.com]

Was gonna see it with friends, then realized that none of us can drive to the theatre yet. :P

Probably will have to wait for the DVD. Hope it's good! :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Awwww. Maybe you can get your parents to drive you?

[wasabi-girl1.livejournal.com]

Maybe. If we're not busy on the weekend...

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a question. Our college is going to be hosting the movie on Feb. 12 and a lot of people don't know much about the movie. Do you think it would be okay, if I used these pics and credited you for it, if I send them an e-mail with these pics? If not, that's okay too! :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Of course it's OK. I'd be glad to help spread the Bolly love.

I got all these pics from IndiaFM so you don't even have to credit me!

[sweetdaisy186.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will credit you anyways...I'm glad that there is going to be some Desi love being spread around my town a little bit. I'm glad that we are finally able to show some good movies! Thanks again!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am so glad it's going to be shown. Hope it's good, as I haven't seen it myself yet.

[sweetdaisy186.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to read what you have to say about it when you see it!

Madhavan! YAY! I want to see this movie, but I'll settle for your recap. :)

Yes, I love Maddy!
