Plot 1
'A young women from England comes to India to make a documentary about her grandfather\'s diary which was written in the 1920s about the Indian Independence with five young men.'
Plot 2
After fighting for his country in Mangal Pandey, Aamir Khan is all set to star in Rakeysh Mehra's film Rang De Basanti as a Delhi University student. During the shoot, everyone thought that this was another period drama from Aamir Khan mainly because of it's title and the Mangal Pandey hangover. But that isn't true.
So what exactly is the film about?
A young idealistic English Film-maker Sue (Alice Patten) comes to India to make a documentary drama on Bhagat Singh and his contemporaries during the freedom struggle. After failing to gather funds for the film, she decides to recruit student from the Delhi University.
She finds DJ (Aamir Khan), an ex-student who passed out five years back but still wants to be a part of the University because he doesn't think there's too much out there in the world out there to look forward to. Aslam (Kunal Kapoor) is a middle class Muslim boy who lives in the bylanes near Jama Masjid and is poet, philosopher and guide to his friends. Sukhi (Sharman Joshi) is the group's baby, vulnerable and has a weakness for only women. Laxman Pandey (Atul Kulkarni) is the fundamentalist in the group and Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) who is a tomboy and vivacious is engaged to Ajay (Madhavan) - a pilot.
Sue's film makes DJ and his friends stop and stare at themselves for being the actual descendants of these great men and never recognizing and celebrating their courage and spirit. That is where the story of Rang De Basanti begins�
