Swades is a nice movie, well made. Shahrukh has acted really well. Additional info is that Swades is a remake of a Kannada movie - "Chigurida Kanasu" based on a novel by Shivram Karanth. Screenplay of Swades has been modified quite well to suit global audience. I would have been more happy if credit was given to the novel. You are welcome to see the original to make comparisons. I really liked Shahrukh in this movie, as an actor. It is not so good that this movie is not a hit. Cast is good. Direction is nice. Rahman is always the best. Cast is good. Direction is nice.
