In Their Shoes - Deep Diving Into Laxman Pandey From Rang De Basanti- Patriotism or Hollow Pride?

What makes a patriot?
Where does the internalised hate within us come from?
What are the values our freedom fighters believed in?
How do we preserve our rich culture and also move towards a progressive future?
How do we rise above the hate within us?
What is the hope for our humanity?
These are the questions we discuss and talk about in this episode as we dive into Laxman Pandey from Rang De Basanti played by Atul Kulkarni written by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Rensil D'Silva, Kamlesh Pandey, Prasoon Joshi & Aamir Khan and the character enhanced further more by the brilliant score of A. R. Rahman.
We discuss these ideas as the beautiful, pluralist country of ours dances another great dance of democracy. May the dialogue grow!

We (your hosts Karan and Aniket) are scriptwriters, film nerds and suckers for good stories. In the many discussions on films that happen on the internet we found a lack of spaces that discuss characters i.e. the humans within the film universe and the many ways in which these characters become a representation for us as individuals, societies and cultures we come from. In Their Shoes is a podcast series where we deep dive into characters from films in every episode and try to understand ourselves & the people in our lives through it.
