3. DJ and Karan in Rang De Basanti

Another masterpiece of the Hindi Cinema, Rang De Basanti’s thrilling scene is when Karan, angered and infuriated with the corruption, kills the minister who is in retaliation of the pact after they carry out a peaceful protest that ends up in violence due to the use of force by the police.

Jordan and Heer’s tragedy can be called one of the most extraordinary on-screen tales and Rockstar was epic when it came to music, screenplay, direction, theatrical skills, and settings.
