:man:‍⚖ Review : Swades is one the most underrated movies of bollywood which released back in 2004. Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, this one faced scathing critical response during its theatrical release. Swades is arguably a beautiful movie considering the premise being simple and made by a director who believes in preaching to the masses.

Swades was a magnificent film held together by a series of episodic allegories, vivid social commentary, strong characters, a poignant love story and a towering performance by Shah Rukh Khan who manages to show dimensions to his acting that only a director like Gowariker could have been able to extenuate and bring to the foreground.

Swades has soul stirring music by A.R. Rahman with tunes of Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tera Swades Hai Mera, still fresh on the our minds. The Director has meticulously articulated social issues in rural outfits of our country which is deeply touching. Some say this movie is boring, so it would be wrong for me to argue as understanding a movie depends on an individual's interpretation.

Swades was a step in the right direction for Indian cinema but the post the release it seemed as though it was a step that may have come too soon.
