SHAHRUKH KHAN SWADES FULL MOVIE MOVIE

Some people would call it talking down to the audience. Especially when you have to say it out loud, rather than show it as a film is supposed to do. But there is something amiss when you have to drive your point home in every frame of the movie. Sure, no one doubts the sincerity of the idea behind making Swades.

It is a Rs 300 million, three-and-half-hour long moral science lesson.ĭetailing a man's journey is all very well, but here is a film that reminds you of those social awareness documentaries that play just before the start of a feature film in theatres across India. Mohan Bhargava (Shah Rukh), a project manager working on a rainfall monitoring satellite known as Global Precipitation Measurement at NASA, is struck by the most acute form of guilt when he visits India to meet the nanny he considers as his mother (Kishori Balal).įaced with poverty, caste system, illiteracy, child labour, lack of electricity and a host of other ills that plague India, he decides to channelise his energies into doing his bit for Charanpur (a fictional village said to be about 200 km off Delhi).ĭoing his bit translates to 'lighting a bulb,' as his superior John Stockton (a completely wooden Peter Rawley) patronisingly calls it, for his village.
