Rang De Basanti... part 3

AAMIR KHAN ROCKS!
Yes. After years of wondering how come this guy gets such respect and admiration in an industry where fickle-mindedness and indiscipline rules, i finally got my answer. The courage to do what he feels is right. Remember the time when Govinda boasted that he shot for 4 movies at a time? And what did Aamir do then? He acted in one movie. At a time when quantity ruled, he put his foot down and said 'I'll take quality'. Okay, there were a few bad moves but he's stuck to his ground. And this willingness to stand by one's beliefs extends outwards too. After the Gujarat riots, he was the ONLY actor to have expressed an opinion. And now, after inspiring millions of people with a movie like Rang De Basanti, he practises what he preaches. 'This shows what politics in India has been reduced to: A few lumpen goons who go about bullying people... I want the people of India to see this and I want them to remember this when election time comes.' This would have got the whistles and applause in any theatre but this guy had the guts to say it in public, fully aware that somewhere down the line his religion will be dragged into the controversy. And today, just as i thought the matter will quieten down slowly, he comes on TV again. And says what he feels is the right thing to do. Without any rhetoric, without any name calling, not even a slightest mention of the political party which dared to burn his effigies.
Rang De Basanti. The sequel. Now showing at a press conference near you.
