Rang de Basanti trailer



The duration of the trailer above seems to be divided into two parts, with the first portraying the normal life of the young group of friends, which as in many other films aimed at the younger generation of Indians, includes evident western elements in the costumes, the props, and their general lifestyle.
The second half concentrates on the patriotic side of the film. The movie is in essence embedded with patriotic values and the notion of the young Indians of today realising their true national identity. Unlike my other two case studies, this film is not set abroad, yet it manages to marry the western culture embraced by many young south-asians with their national identity in an optimistic way; leaving its audience with the impression that western culture can go hand in hand with eastern culture.
