Irrespective of the fact whether you are an Indian or an NRI I would strongly suggest you to watch the movie 'Swades'. I have already viewed it 3-4 times and I cannot stop loving this movie. The storytelling is brilliant, the songs are exceptional and the way in which the cultural values and problems of India is depicted is spectacular. It takes great courage to even attempt to make a movie like this. I would like to say 'hats off !' (literally) to director Ashutosh Gowariker's effort. I also liked his 'Lagaan (nominated for the Oscars)' . If you have enjoyed his movies I would also suggest viewing 'Jodhaa Akbar'. He is a director who makes films with all his heart. Believe me and watch it ! You will not regret it.
