Swades

I seem to be in love with the movie all over once again after watching it for the nth time today on Star One. Today was one of those days when I enjoyed each and every moment of the movie more than usual. I was absorbed in the movie. Completely! The village, villagers, excellent acting by Shahrukh and others, costumes, dialogues, amazing background music for each and every scene, songs, lyrics, Kaveri Amma, the love story of Gita and Mohan, the cute little village kids, I can just go on and on about every single thing in this movie! As much as I want to write a long post on it, I want to watch some of my favourite scenes from the movie again too. And since I donโ€™t seem to have had enough of Swades for the day, this post will have to wait.

    yes – this is the only Sharukh Movie that i think he was Fantastic. Couple of scenes in the station Ajithe where the small Kid sells “Pachis Paise keliye Ek glass pani” – the most heavy heart moment. The nice moment would be when Githa blows up the alliance and three of them sit to discusss who is the best person – the background score at that moment is the best ! (and it is copied later in the song, my dil goes…)

    I would say if It was iruvar for thamizh, its Swades for Hindi !

    Srinath,
    This is what almost everybody say about SRK in Swades. I used to like him till sometime back.

    Madhusudhanan,
    Which is the other one? I thought that must have been the question. I know the answer ๐Ÿ˜›

    Sreekrishnan,
    A knot forms in my throat too every time I just think about that scene itself!
    I remember you had commented about that BGM in an earlier post of mine. What song is that My dil goes??
