By making this movie a failure,Indian viewers indicated that there judging insight is no more.There was enough praise of Swades in other comments,but most of them were slightly old,near the release of the movie,so i thought it will be better to write a new one now.well,box office collections are saying that Swades was a failure.if such a movie falls on Indian box office,it shows that we are loosing our sight of judging a movie kindly.Swades is one of the greatest movies ever made in India.and also SRK at his best as an actor,Ashutosh at his best as a director,and of course,ARR at his best as a music director.also the other ones,like the villagers,have done quite well.I am still unable to find just a single true reason why Swades failed.The epic fell down,showing how a movie,coming right from the heart of the director,can face such a condition,against the stupid part of Indian viewer.The only part of mass,who liked the movie,was the youth part which is still doing studies(not that part of youth who sits in the plex with his girlfriend expecting the so called 'around the tree,in the rain' scene.I am quite sure that they fully refused the movie).Where Indian cinema will lead if such incidents will happen again?Whatever the box office reports say,without any doubt,Swades is one of the brightest gems Indian cinema ever had. my rating-10/10.
