Rang De Basanti Synopsis
After a group of friends graduate from Delhi University, they listlessly haunt their old campus, until a British filmmaker casts them in a film she's making about freedom fighters under British rule.

Inspired by the freedom fighters they represent in the film, the friends collectively decide to avenge the killing.
