Why I hate the movie Rang De Basanti

I don’t hate Rang De Basanti because it propounds violence as a means to make your point.

I don’t hate it because its ending was a total rip-off from The Boondock Saints.

What I really dislike about this movie is that it has given rise to a bunch of sanctimonious people who can alternatively be referred to as the “be the change” generation. The moment you say that there is something wrong with your college/country/pretty much anything else, these people are at your throats asking you to either raise it in a proper forum (only god knows what that is), or you would be told that either you should change the system or keep your mouth shut (Have they considered the possibility that there may not be a system left if each one of the 1.2billion odd people strived to change it).

So the rest of us are not allowed to whine about anything, but these people are allowed to whine about our whining. As it is a case of selective trampling of right to freedom of speech, I see shades of communism in these people.

Bollywood should not even try to make movies that have a message, and this particular movie tells us why.
