Ashutosh gowarikar, where are you? We need more people like you in 2019. Swades was a movie way ahead of its time. Had it been released now, it would have been a blockbuster. It's a pity that Swades wasn't a hit at the box office. Very few bollywood movies leave a mark on us and Swades hits the right spot. Also, what can I say about the music by A R Rehman. It's the soul of the movie. Acting is done phenomenally by not just SRK but also by the supporting cast. I personally do not like a lot of SRK movies but this would top the list. One can watch this movie anytime and still be left with that feel good feeling.
