Watch Swades For Free

Best movie ever!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I'm beginning to learn that it's not unusual for Indian movies to approach and even surpass three hours in length. The surprising thing about "Swades" for me was that the story began in the United States, and then transitioned to the small Indian village of Charanpur by way of the principal character, Mohan Bhargava (Shah Rukh Khan), having a desire to reconnect with the nanny who raised him. Mohan has an awakening I guess one would say, as he observes the poverty in his travels through the countryside, and an unwillingness of most of it's citizens to challenge a caste system that keeps everyone within their own social class. I don't know if this was a bold statement for director Ashutosh Gowariker to make, especially in the way he contrasted the way of life in India with Mohan's description of life in the U.S. For all of it's own troubles, Mohan painted a picture of liberty and opportunity for one to follow his dreams in America, and tried to instill some of that kind of pride in being a citizen of a small community. There was repeated emphasis in the picture about self respect, independence and self reliance, probably none more effective than when the lovely school teacher Gita (Gayatri Joshi) declined a marriage proposal because of the devotion to her vocation. I must say, as a screen couple, Shah Rukh Khan and Gayatri Joshi are every bit as charismatic as Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". One of the intriguing things about the story is that you're never sure how the romance between the attractive couple will play out. When Gita longingly wishes for Mohan to turn around as he drives away to catch his plane back to the States, one can't help but feel a bit conflicted over their relationship.I look back upon the history of cinema in this country and think about the impact films have had on things like improving race relations, equality for women, and upward mobility for individuals born into unfortunate circumstances. "Swades" feels like a film that might do something similar for the Indian sub-continent, if it can successfully translate thought and ideas into action for ordinary citizens to challenge the status quo and stand up for themselves. The picture closes on just that kind of note, and one does get a sense that "the tides have begun to change direction".

First of all i want to tell about the starting views of the movie Swades ,i felt these are attractive according to the poster of the movie and as well as the starting parts of the movie. After this the next part of the movie is go on.some effects in this section or in this part is good but these all are less in entertaining.entertaining scenes of this movie is average on the basis of emotions. Songs of this movie is good and i think selection of singers are good.music direction is very sensitive and important part of the movie and this movie not succeeded to present the emotions and others variations. Middle part and end part of the movie presents with some technical terms.

I watched this movie after hearing that SRK is the only actor to act in a real NASA camp.What was the movie?Swades,we the people.The movie starts in the USA where a young Indian scientist working in NASA,longing to get back to his motherland to bring back the person who brought him up since young.From there,the movie takes you in an adventurous journey in rural India showing the differences between a city life and rural life in the 21st century India.This movie shows the natural beauty of India in a splendid manner.Be it the journey of SRK from the city to the village,or even from the village to a even more rural area,it was shot so beautifully,you would have never seen India this way.This movie touches on every possible social problem in India,which really provided me a lot of knowledge about India as I'm not an Indian national.The cinematography was merely brilliant capturing the feel of the village in the camera.A.R Rahman,what else can you expect from him,his music and songs were great though captivating all the way through.The songs in this movie was really meaningful,some may even allow tears passing through.Ashutosh Gowariker has probably become one of the best Indian director's of all time.Movies like Lagaan and Jodha Akbar is one of the best Indian movie's of all time.He has brought Indian cinema to great heights.SRK has proved that he is a good actor to all that thinks otherwise,this movie also shows that SRK is a responsible actor for the Indian society.Hats off to Ashutosh Gowariker,SRK and A.R Rahman for creating this masterpiece.We the people love it.A glimpse of true rural India.

Mohan Bhargava is an East Indian scientist working in NASA in the US. He gets approval on his US citizenship. He feels guilty about leaving behind his nanny Kaveri Amma whom he considers his second mother. He takes a short vacation to track her down and bring her with him to America. She left her old age home in Delhi to live in a remote farming community of Charanpur. In the village, he finds a cast of quirky folks, old caste prejudice, dire poverty and school teacher Gita. Gita's school is threatened with downsizing as the girls and the poor rarely get education, at least no more than 4th grade. Her arranged marriage future in-laws demand she stop working outside of the house. Mohan is moved to improve the villagers' lives.This is the most compelling Bollywood movie I've seen so far. The rom-com part is fun and endearing. The romance is solid rom-com gold. For me, the social justice is a little heavy-handed. I find a lighter touch is often much more effective. There isn't as much dancing as the normal Bollywood affair but the songs are beautiful. This is a well-written rom-com dripping with social justice sincerity.
