Films will come, perform at the box office and fade into oblivion. What truly stay in mind and memories are classics and the ones that you can relate to. I have watched Swades over the years from the time it came out and each time I have a deeper reaction to it. I find less faults and appreciate finer nuances in the direction and the visuals. While Patriotism is the underlying emotion, the stark contrast between wasteful plentiness and abject poverty/hardship is brought out excellently. SRK has done a fabulous job here and scenes where his eyes well up could be a natural reaction to the scene and the background music. He should do these kind of roles more. We also need movie makers like Ashutosh G who go after what their heart tells them rather than ringing cash registers..
