When I first heard about this movie, I wasn't too sure what to expect. But when I watched it in the cinema, I realised that one of the best things about it was that it had reality in it.

Mohan Bhargav, a NASA engineer, returns to his homeland, India and goes in search for his governess, Kaveri Amma and finds her in a village where people do not have basic facilities, such as electricity on a regular. On requesting her to go with him to the USA, he is informed that she can't as she also helps one of his childhood friends, Geeta by looking after her house and her younger brother. He realises that Kaveri Amma, will not leave Geeta until she is married and settled and that the school that she is operating gets a full approval form the seniors in the village for a new plot of land to build it into a college. He then decides that he will do whatever he can to help and then take Kaveri Amma with him.

Sha Rukh Khan, as Mohan Bhargav, is just brilliant as is Gayatri Joshi in her first film. The music by A.R. Rehman is also worth listening to as are some songs such as "Yeh Tara Woh Tara," "Yuhi Chala Chal Rahi" a duet by Udit Narayan and Kailesh Kher, and "Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tere" and finally "Saawariya." Directed by Ashtosh Gowariker, the movie depicts life in villages today and is very much patriotic.

This is a movie that does not have the glitz and glamour, such as the dressing and jewellery that we see nowadays in almost every movie. Instead it shows reality which is rare to see in any movies these days.
