Swades is a must watch. Ashutosh Gowariker has made this one straight from his heart with a very noble intent. The lines "why give light to the neighbour's house" might have been said in a funny manner .. but honestly it touches you. SRK has given an amazing performance, he has not played the "larger then life SRK" but this time has played in his character. He is a very good actor no doubt .. but i have never been a very big fan of him as he was never the versatile actor. In Swades he proves that he can act if given something besides lover boy masala roles. No matter what the box office response to this will be , those who have the mind to think, will know this movie is a cinematic masterpiece. It is not really for the masses, but i suggest all the NRI's watch it. I am a NRI and honest to GOD, this might make some of you laugh but me at the age of 16 before this movie came out had decided to go back to India and do somethin for the nation. India is booming and we should go empower that boom. Remember this is the story of ONE village in India and this is not what the country is exactly like . The country has been progressing at a very fast rate and is surely going to be a power in the next decade. This movie has just made my decision stronger to go back after completing education. Gayatri Joshi is the best newcomer this year, without a skin show she impresses. She is simply sexy, she is beautiful and is an amazing actress. Her sexiness lies in her attitude, expression and body language. All in all Swades is one of the best movies made in a long time but it is nothing like any other Bollywood movie. This One DESERVES AN Oscar! Ashutosh Gowariker is a great story teller and making movies from his heart will for sure drive him to the Oscar as it is Oscar quality after all.

Rating : 9.5/10
