Rangeela stars the ever so beautiful, Urmila Matondkar. She stars in this film with Aamir Khan and it is a great film to start out with if you're curious about what is coming out of Bombay. (India's Hollywood). The movie is a romantic triangle about an aspiring dancer who wants to make it in movies. She is 'found' by the star of the romantic movie Rangeela (which seems to mean something about colours). The star is a shy, lonely, ageing lothario (played very well by Jackie Shroff) and he falls in love with her. Will she end up with the successful star or with the penniless friend of her youth who cant admit his love for her in his awkwardness? The music and dancing are both good- though I think Rahman took many of the numbers and evolved then in 'Taal' (as there are some similarities in sound and style) in 1999.
