Rang De Basanti is more than just a film; it's a cultural phenomenon that transcends generations.

A generation discovered courage, friendship and civic responsibility through this film. Rang De Basanti turns twenty in 2026. Add your name below to ask Indian theatre chains and the film's rights holders to bring it back to the big screen — even for one week.

Why a re-release matters

A theatrical return would let long-time viewers revisit the film collectively while introducing it to audiences who have never experienced it in a cinema.

A shared cultural memory

The film continues to be discussed for its portrayal of friendship, idealism and public responsibility.

A new generation of viewers

Many younger viewers know the film only through streaming, clips and online conversations.

Proof of audience demand

A transparent public petition can help rights holders and exhibitors assess genuine interest.

A light for every supporter: Every signature lights a candle.

This is inspired by the candlelight vigil at India Gate in Rang De Basanti. Each person who signs adds another symbolic light to this campaign and shows that audiences want the film back on the big screen.

Please sign and share the petition. Let us fill this campaign with light.
