Rang De Basanti

Last week we went for the Hit movie of the year - Rang De Basanti. Was enjoyable in the beginning for its fun scenes. Most of the reviews about the movie say that it talks about the awakening of the youth. I did not feel any awakening around me. But yesterday, I saw on TV a real life enactment of one of the scenes in the movie. A protest March with candles by people infuriated by the aquittal of Jessica Lal murderers. Incedentally there was a scene in the movie where people march to the same place(India Gate) with candles to protest against the protagonist's death in a fighter jet crash.
