Rang De Basanti

(2006)

Dedicated to lives of Indian Airmen who have died due to frequent MiG aircraft crashes, this is a story of five friends, Sukhi (Sharman Joshi), Daljeet (Aamir Khan), Aslam Khan (Kunal Kapoor), Karan Singhania, & Laxman Pandey (Atul Kulkarni) who are approached by a U.K.-based Filmmaker, Sue, to participate in a documentary about India's freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Rajguru, Ashfaqulla Khan, and Ramprasad Bismil. She is quite disappointed as five do not appear interested and one is ready to re-locate to the United States. She does convince them to participate and makes them view their circumstances with a different light, leading Karan to confront his dad, Rajnath (Anupam Kher), and then things began to change for them, especially with the sudden death of Flight Lieutenant Ajay Rathod, and become even more complicated when the five are accused of assassinating Shastri (Mohan Agashe), India's Defence Minister and hole up in a Doordarshan TV Station - with the Police hot on their tails.
