Apart from that, the character Ramadhir Singh reflects about star actors in India, mentioning that once all guys wanted to be like Dilip Kumar, then like Amitabh Bachchan, and nowadays (= 2003/04) they'd all love Salman Khan ("the guy with the very nice name") and "Sunil Dutt's and Nargis's son" Sanjay Dutt.

grus hat gesagt…

I remember that when I first watched Rang De Basanti I wasn't a Sanju fan yet, so I missed the reference. When I rewatched it recently it really made me smile :)
I also noticed that probably the RDB gang went to see the movie itself as they seemed to be leaving a theatre and they were humming Dekh Le :)

Diwali hat gesagt…

Thanks, grus. I will mind this next time I watch RDB. :)
