Here is presenting a few interesting tidbits about Rang De Basanti .

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra ’s movie ‘Rang De Basanti’ is ready to hit the theatres on the Republic Day, January 26. On the eve of its release, let us take a look at few facts about the movie that are not commonly known.




Aamir Khan plays a character named DJ in the film. Well, DJ is the short one for Daljeet Singh. Aamir plays a guy with Punjabi family background. Even in his dialogues in the movie, Aamir has tried to bring the touch of Punjabi dialect.

Also, the very first scene of the movie was shot at Amritsar’s Golden Temple. Shooting at the holy shrine was no small feat as ‘Rang De Basanti’ team was the first film crew to be allowed to shoot inside the Gurudwara complex in the last 15 years.

Initially, Rakeysh Mehra had planned to make the movie in Hindi and English. The English version was to be titled ‘Paint It Yellow’. But later on, plan to make the English version was scrapped.

Another less known fact about the movie is that its story is partly inspired from the story of real life pilot, flying officer Abhijit Gadgil who was killed in a MIG crash two years back. In the film, the character is played by south Indian actor Madhavan . He plays Flt. Lt. Ajay Rathod, who dies in a MIG crash in the movie.

The movie is also the first feature film of Alice Patten , a British theatre actress who is the daughter of Chris Patten, the last governor of Hong Kong before it was ceded to the Chinese.

‘Rang De Basanti’ deals with a topic that is very relevant to contemporary times. It talks of several youngsters with different aspirations from life. The movie’s story also connects with the story of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.

Apart from Aamir, Alice and Madhavan, the movie stars Soha Ali Khan , Kunal Kapoor , Siddharth , Sharman Joshi , Atul Kulkarni and Kiron Kher .
