This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ Abbas & Urjita are joined by author, and creative director (non-fiction) at IVM Podcasts, Meghnad S. to revisit the revolutionary 2006 film ‘Rang De Basanti’. The trio discusses how the film influenced Meghnad to move to Delhi, how ‘RDB’ was perhaps the best example of sepia toned flashbacks, the character arc of Atul Kulkarni’s fundamentalist character, how authority figures in the movie match up to authority figures in real life, the portrayal of the media, AR Rahman’s tremendous score, and given the political events of the last decade, should this film have been called “Foreshadow De Basanti”?
