Rang de Basanti is not "bad", it's embarrassing and, quite frankly, dangerous. As someone who cares about how history is represented, I was nauseated to even consider a comparison between subcontinent's greatest freedom fighters and these idiots who decide to take the law in their own hands based on ... I'm not exactly sure what. If I was a government official I'd be scared after watching this. The "SMS generation," which is what they are referred to, may need to be awakened but this is certainly not the route to take. Simply put: Basanti threatens to offer a patriotic lesson via a text message.
