Who said you can't dance to a patriotic song? Rang De Basanti's title track provides just the premise that celebrates the nation and its people. The song runs high on the emotion of loss, disappointment and eventually anger. The tune eerily plays in the backdrop, when DJ and his friends get beaten up for silently protesting at India Gate. This song captured the emotional trauma of the friends beautifully. Khalbali redefined modern-day inquilab and pumped us with the adrenaline to go ahead and do what we want to. The tune of change, action and rebellion, Khalbali gave a musical form to the fight that the film showed. This one is a lyrical and musical masterpiece. Till today, there is no way one can listen to this song without experiencing at least one goosebump moment. And with every tear of joy they shed, we cried too.Ī mother's cry for her son can make anyone weep, but Luka Chhupi changed the form of that emotion into something we could never imagine.

The song plays right in the end, celebrating the victory of these friends who fought an impossible battle. The hook step of this song became our favourite and everybody was humming the tune.įrom the calming melody to words of strength, Roobaroo is a personal favourite. The lyrics and the pumped up beats resonated with the youth. The kids in 2006 found their anthem when this song released. Each song told a story and every story gave us goosebumps.ġ1 years have passed but RDB's music continues to stir the same emotions it did when we heard it for the very first time. Rahman created just the right kind of atmosphere. We all found ourselves relating to the the journey of a group of friends who took on the corrupt system.įor a story that remains one of the strongest to have ever been told by Indian cinema, the music by A.R. Here was a movie that ticked off the right kind of patriotism, without being too preachy.

It has been 11 years and we still haven't been able to produce another film like that. On the Republic Day of 2006, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra gave India a cinematic gem called Rang De Basanti.

Rang de basanti tu bin bataye
