swades full movie with english subtitles

His most real since 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa' and his career's best. The asset of the film is Shahrukh Khan, looking ordinary and real but in an extra-ordinary performance. It's an answer to the generation of materialistic 'we', who never shy from proclaiming our great culture and tradition, but do nothing for our country. Seeing the harsh reality and we'll find it difficult to suppress our tears. And the most poignant scene in the film, where we see a boy selling water for 25 paisa, hits you hard. There's a prejudice that the film is about bringing electricity to a small village. It haunts you for long enough after the cinema has ended. Swades is about the conscience trauma of an Indian, urging him to comeback and do something for his country. Lagaan is all about emerging victorious and fighting against the odds. Primarily, for the authenticity and real-life feel unlike Lagaan which was a finely crafted fairly-tale. Comparisons with Lagaan are bound to be there, but in some ways it's even better than Lagaan. Compared to Veer-Zaara, it's light years ahead. It's very much contemporary and it's our story. We see in the film what we see everyday, the places as they are. The 'We, People' film really makes us feel like it's our film. Swades is not colorful Shahrukh doesn't appear in a GAP or POLO SPORT there are no introductory shots there are no romantic scenes and no fields with yellow Tulip flowers It may be a tad slow and lengthy But Swades hits you where your heart hurts the most patriotic and root feelings of an individual with good intentions overcoming societal obstacle. 48 hours hence, I vividly remember most of the scenes and can lucidly state that is truly 'haunting'. He can only watch his kids die of malnutrition.ģ0 minutes after I had viewed the film on Sat, I was not sure about how I felt about this film. Mohan Bhargav: All I know is that a weaver who changed his occupation by becoming a farmer can't even feed his family or give his children even some basic education. Vishwa: Are you out of your mind! What are you saying?

We all are finding fault with each other! But the true fact is that we're all to be blamed. In what way are we great then? If we have problems in the village, we point our finger at the State and the State at someone else. The land owners blame the peasants, but they don't give them their rights. The blacksmith & potter blame the moneylender. The dalits blame the brahmins and brahmins claim that their piety is despoiled by the dalits. But when you step into their shoes, you'll do the same thing. You're blaming Panchayat for your problems. You too! Not just the members of the Panchayat but everyone in the village. If we keep saying this, we will one day actually land up there. This country is on the path of destruction. Everyday, in our streets & homes, each one of us keeps saying their is no future of this country.

And that is that we keep fighting among ourselves when we must fight against illiteracy, over-population & corruption. Mohan Bhargav: I'm only speaking of things I've experienced while living here.
