American viewers will get to experience the Rang De Basanti magic as UTV plans to re-release an edited version of the movie keeping in mind the non-asian audience. About 25 minutes of the movie has been cut out and its a pretty smart movie according to me as Indian Movies length are often seen as a deterrent.
“That’s true,” Siddharth Roy Kapur [Senior Vice President, Marketing & Communications, UTV] confirms the development, “Rakeysh [Omprakash Mehra] 
has already re-edited the film. It’s going to be a proper mainline release in the U.S. in March next year.” Although the release strategy is being worked out currently, Kapur states “it’ll be a good release [prints] in terms of a foreign release.”
“The business of R.D.B. has already exhausted vis-à-vis the Indian diaspora. Our target audience is lovers of foreign films,” Kapur states, adding that the film won’t be dubbed in English, but will have English sub-titles for moviegoers to decipher the goings-on.
