Rang De Basanti

Rakesh Omprakash Mehra 2006

A few things Rang De Basanti has taught me...

English people are trouble. In the past we Empire built now we're globetrotting and stirring up long forgotten passions that don't end peacefully.

English women have magical pocket watches that play piano music when you stare at them in a wistful way.

Rang and Rand are two vastly different words, confusing the two can cause embarrassment

Don't date pilots.

Everyone in India wants to be American

No matter what language your partner speaks, ask them to marry you in English. Maybe they wont understand you and it will give you enough time to back out of it.

Om Puri has been in every film ever made, ever.

Aamir Khan has eyebrows that look like two caterpillars about to have a fight.

The past is sepia coloured.

Satellites are older than you think.

The Indian Government really doesn't like pirate radio.
