'Rang De Basanti ' unplugged

Rang De Basanti , slated for release on January 20, delves into the lives of five friends led by Aamir Khan, who are hired by a young London-based filmmaker (played by Alice Patten), to help her shoot a documentary on Indian revolutionaries during the freedom movement.
Somewhere along the way, the film turns to a MiG-21 crash, in which Flight-Lieutenant Ajay Rathod, played by actor Madhavan, is killed. The film portrays lives of young pilots, the risks they undertake while flying and hardship their families undergo after untimely deaths of officers in crashes. The movie also alludes to the neta-babu nexus in finalising murky but lucrative defence deals, with the requisite kickbacks playing a role. The defence minister, in reel life, blames the MiG-21 crash on "human error". This angers Rathod’s friends, led by Aamir Khan, who then give up their bohemian lifestyles and become concerned citizens probing the death of their friend. They eventually shoot the defence minister dead and then announce it on radio for the country to hear.

Bravo Aamir !

RDB is ARR's first 'listenable' soundtrack after Swades .'Ding ling Ding' wud even make Pope dance !
