I think one thing that was missed in the transformation story of Mohan Bhargav was the scene where he drinks the water at the station which coincidentally is the first time when he drinks the water not from the bottle. That scene displays the acceptance of Mohan of him being an Indian as a whole. A truly brilliantly written scene worthy of several discussions on the same.
I believe both the farmer distress scene and the water seller scene work in tandem. While the farmer scene makes him question himself, the water seller scene completely shatters him. Great catch btw where you point out that he drinks from the glass and not from the bottle for the first time.
Absolutely, that love story is pivotal in shaping Mohans transformation. I love the film, its well made and srk has done justice to the character, his raw acting in this just amazing
Exactly, if Mohan wasn't intrested in Geeta i dont think he would have stayed even a week in the Village at first place!!! Geeta played an important role in making Mohan stay longer than he thought initially in the Village!! Through her Mohan started his journey of self discovery, first for his own selfish reason(to persuade Kaveri amma stay with him in US and then for impressing Geeta through helping her finding students)and then of course he got to know about so many things after that
Mostly the directors are not using ShahRukh up to his true potential. He’s an extremely amazing actor when he needs to be. He’s actually underrated as an ‘actor’.
So fucking true.. it seems I will die saying that srk is an underrated actor.. he is one of the finest we have. Even in fan its an incredible performance
Stardom takes its toll...same thing happened with Rajesh Khanna as well...but they do get some good movies to display their potential and Swades in one such movie of SRK and it is etched in my heart forever.
@Tony Khan in most of his films his performance is very good to excellent.. doing a commercial film doesn't mean it wont have performance. Veer Zaara Devdas Don2 Raees have incredible performances in a commercial setting
He is almost billionaire he can ask any great director and writer let's create something but he didn't so stop putting blame on director it is him only who is not willing to do this
I agree with Rick on this point,the character of Geeta is never over the top or unnecessary but actually she is the only one academically qualified enough to have a proper banter with Mohan. They are the yin and yang of the film,and an educated person can only open his/her mind to new opinions and array of thoughts when another educated person ignites them,because in Mohan's mind initially in the film only she is worthy of having a discussion and someone to be reasoned with. Edit-My favourite film of alltime,makes me feel for my country everytime,when the old lady says "Bijli",it always brings tears to my eyes.
That moment the old said 'bijli' with a smile is spectacular. The word was so pleasing to the ears and her smile brought tears to my eyes. There are moments in the film that makes me cry sometimes with agony sometimes with pleasure.
@@puspita282 It helps us bring closer to our motherland. Hugely underrated film,if released today would have swiped everything,from box office to awards,but I guess art is good if it leaves an impact for generations rather than just being a means of shuteyed people's source of transient entertainment.
That is because, though he started with varied type of roles initially, once he got to Rahul-type roles, he was stuck with those and did not venture into different types of roles. He did try a few movies Paheli, swades etc but they were commercial failures, though critically acclaimed. Naturally he got stuck with Rahul-type roles.
Yeah so true. Audiences just wanted to see Rahul only, so thats what was being made like all the time. After all bollywood is a business. This film is a gem and heck yeah it stands the test of time. In fact I might just watch again today 😀

He missed National award that year to that Saif which was almost awarded to him by his mom who was the chairperson that year.....this is one of the top 5 films and performance oriented roles of his....
That signature music of Swades shakes my soul everytime I listen to it and makes me emotional..keeping aside all imperfections of my country it is still one of the best places to live in Mother Earth...where people still care about others..proud to be Indian.
It is a modern adaptation of shivarama karanth's novel. The first film that was made based on this novel was a kannada film 'chigurida kanasu' which was a very successful film.
The love angle allowed for so much dialogue about the perspectives of these 2 individuals to take place. It caused even greater character development. Not a distraction at all
Swades, My Name is Khan and Chak De India are SRK'S best performance Definitely it's in Top 3. Followed by Dear Zindagi, his negative role in DON series and his performance in classic Love Story Veer Zaara and his lookalike Fan in Fan movie are his great performance till date. ✌️👌
Whenever i watch this movie, i just cant control my flow of emotions and tears SPECIALLY on two occassions, when Mohan sees the child selling tea and every time Hari Ram comes on screen. And the same thing happened right now too 😔
The Most poignant scene in the movie is when Mohan drinks the “local water” in the railway station because until then he was drinking the bottled mineral water. The song “Yeh jo des hai tera” is very significant too for Mohan to realise that he belongs in India. The movie is one of the best of Shah Rukh his acting in it was subtle and dignified. The leading lady Gayathri was one of the finalists of Miss India contest. She did only this one film and then got married.
This video made me go back and watch your earlier Swades movie review (again). Having said that, I agree to you Rick about how the love angle actually helped the character's journey. I have seen this movie more than 20 times and don't mind seeing it again right now.
5 seconds of that shehnai and I tear up! One of the most touching BGMs I have ever come across. And btw I agree with Rick about the love being a critical subplot in the story
The movie is phenomenal, true to the soul of India. That Rs5 water scene, that Farmer scene hits hard. When Shehnai kicks in, one can't stop the tears.
15:10 As an Assamese myself I can tell you that our language and some of the culture doesn't differ much from the Bengalis (Remember the "guess the language" video? *Rick* confused Assamese with Bangla !) "Some" our songs have some similar vibes to most south Indian songs (although we do have a whole new style of singing/music and dance). So we don't often get a cultural shock in India.
This movie was inspired by Kannada movie : Shah Rukh Khan has thanked director Ashutosh Gowariker for helming the 2004 critically acclaimed film Swades, which featured the superstar in the lead role. As the film clocked 12 years today, the 51-year-old actor posted a sweet message on Twitter, praising the entire cast and crew of the movie. “Yeh jo Des hai mera Swades hai mera… Can’t thanks Ashutosh enough for such a lovely film. Whole cast/crew had such faith in goodness and Indianness,” he wrote. Swades, inspired by a true story, was a remake of Kannada movie Chigurida Kanasu with Shiva Rajkumar in lead role.
Till Death My Favourite Movie. I watched this movie more than 500 times till today. The Fragrance Of Our Soil, The Innocence of Villages, The Beauty Of Simplicity, That Amazing Empowering Story,And Ahhh That SONGS AND BGMS OF AR RAHMAN...This movie takes me to some unknown land of happiness and positivity...
What a movie, even watching a reaction video of an analysis video of the movie also almost brought me to tears. Rick is absolutely correct, Geeta is the fulcrum. His feeling for her opened his up towards the emotional aspect of life, stimulated his inner juices a part of him which he had almost overcome in pursuit of success.
It's a great movie...Touches a lot of topics which bollywood films usually do not speak about. Agree with Rick on the relationship being a critical component. Shah Rukh was phenomenal in the role.
I watched it last night for maybe the 20th time. Yes I live in US and this movie hits hard. The scene at railway station when he finally drinks that water is haunting. Swades is what Ramayan is all about… personal and society’s growth.
One of the very few movies where SRK shows that he can actually act, dumbed down by countless boneheaded romantic movies. Our ARR’s masterful background and songs lifts it a few more notches, from the opening credits music (which is Latika’s ringtone in Slumdog Millionaire) to the greatest patriotic song India has heard, yeh jo des hai tera, at the end… That analysis you watched was awesome as well, the same guy who analysed the making of the music of Bombay..
The entire film is about "land, people (society), and water" From dress code to dialogue, character and their naming, this film reflects what we (not only Indians but the entire human civilization) constitute by accumulating land, people, and water and how we the human beings are devaluing the very nature of land, people and soceity.
My all time favorite movie. SRK at his THE BEST. surprisingly even SRK has said in an interview that he hasn't watched Swades. (I might be wrong about this one). The role of Mohan was first offered to Hrithik Roshan.
A number of users have commented that "Swades" is a remake of a Kannada film "Chigurida Kanasu" made in the year 2003. But this information is incorrect. The truth is that Swades is a scene by scene remake of "Waapsi", a 2 part story told in the series "Yule Love Stories". It was a television serial broadcast in the year 1993-94 on Zee TV. The episode "Waapsi" had Ashutosh Gowariker (yes, he used to be an actor for those unaware) in lead role playing Mohan, while Kishori Ballal played Kaveri Amma. (Kishori Ballal played the role of Kaveri Amma in Swades as well). M.G. Sathya was the writer of "Waapsi" and he has been credited as the story writer of Swades as well. Ashutosh Gowariker expanded the story of "Waapsi" by adding other elements like the caste system. The entire story line of Mohan trying to light a bulb was inspired by the story of Aravinda Pillalamarri and Ravi Kuchimanchi. The Bilgaon Project undertaken by Aravinda and Ravi finds a mention in the book "Bapu Kuti". You can watch the story "Waapsi" on RUclips, just search for "Yule Love Stories Episode 49 and Episode 50."
From 14yrs dis movie is in my hard disk pendrive n laptop.. I forgot d counting how much tym i have watched it...it alwayz remain my top fav movie ever
There's a reason why the character of Mohan is named so and why the heroine of Swades who plays the role of a village teacher is named Gita. The characters and their personalities embody all that is associated with their respective names. There's a reason why Mohan's Dai Maa is named after a river called Kaveri. There's a reason why they chose electricity/light as the technological development for the village. There's immense symbolism in that. One must pay close attention to that song that Gita sings on Dusshera festival in Swades. The song and that entire excerpt of Ramayana really does symbolize all that's happening in the village. It's a fine piece of analogy and it's extremely relevant to the movie's thematic structure.
I love that Rick especially now understands how different diverse India is, and how the region and the culture that one grows up in would color one's idea of India. Yes, a Bengali's perspective will be different from a Kannadiga's or Punjabi's.
Screw the analysis. I absolutely loved everything about the movie. One of the best moving movies of all time and SRK's works. The title track just tears something inside. Love the movie to the core. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I haven't seen any other film where Shahrukh has underplayed himself to this extent. Just brilliant. He is not being Shahrukh here, just Mohan Bhargav. In other films I only see Shahrukh and not the character. People say Chak de, just because he doesn't have a love interest in chak de people think he is different. But reality is that there are many scenes where shahrukh's hyper mannerisms are so evident, e.g. "har team mein ek hi gunda hota hai". This kind of hyper mannerism is completely absent in Swades even when there are confrontation scenes. Thanks to Ashutosh, Swades is Shahrukh's best acted movie.
Korbin, the very fact that he went back to the US at all was considered path breaking at the time in Hindi cinema. Most other directors would have just shown a melodramatic ending where he just stays back and abandons his NASA project, his job etc. :D :D
It's a less flawed movie because this is aushotosh gowarekar and that (my name is khan) is karan johar. ... Although I'd say that's Karan johar's best movie. And Rick I completely agree with you...the woman's love opened him up to more compassionate love, awareness and courage. Love is at the core of his awakening. 💜 It's clear you're a man who's been in love himself ✨
Hey if you guys need a cinephile indian to talk to who loves acting and film and might give you perspective from an indian side and probably correct some of the "lagaan is a true story" moments... I would like to apply 😂
That is the real problem.Now see ,Have you ever thought why these guys showed up only since the past 2 years ?Through Jio The network and means if communication of people really changed Before Jio Indians experienced poor nerwork connections.After the revolu of free internet by Jio These foreigners were able to penetrate through Our content . We cant tell how these guys really are.See just like a other you tubers they do a lot of research about India India is a big market for them. We have more than 1 billion people. Just see their video Reacting to mean comments They just literally insulted By saying BURN HATERS BURN If you face criticism ,you should face them in a polite manner and the never did that. Through these channels Indians lose their valuable time by providing knowledge to these guys. Just try starting American Reaction videos aiming Americans or any other people as your audience .They won't care..I mean you wont get the kes and subs like you get from an Indian audience.
I understand enjoying cynical endings, but the ending of Swades just makes my heart almost burst out of my chest with joy. I can't really explain why. I'm not even Indian. It just makes me so happy.
I agree with Rick. The songs are wonderful and beautifully placed and if he wasn't in love with her, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to go to certain lengths to mend his relationship with her that actually started the self discovery in him. It was crucial.
There are movies and then there is Swades! I guess am too biased since i have watched it innumerable times😊 SRK never like this before or after. Every person who graces the screen adds. Be ready to get ur tear buds streaming.. And also enjoy the feel good which the movie gets one into. Music is another of its stars. Each song better than the previous. Wat a piece of art.
Rick is spot on! And his point is articulated so beautifully! Love AND Music absolutely make the world go round and this is particularly true for India and Indians! Love and music are central to the enduring relevance of this movie. The analysis in the video was incisive and true EXCEPT for the critique on Mohan's love for Geeta and AR Rehman's soulful music being sideshow distractions to the narrative.
Wow I haven't agreed with Rick in awhile but totally with him here on the love story! The technical flaws in this movie made it a jarring component despite the chemistry but it was an essential part of his transformation. He wouldn't even have stayed as long or done recruiting for the school which was the sparking event for the later journey with the farmer, without her. Also Geeta was the stand-in for the perspective of the educated Indians who are working for their country
When I first saw OSR long long back. I thought Rick was in love with one of his students who is Indian and hence this channel. Love does open doors. 😀❤️

And tell them let's make a movie
Do you thing the director will say no
The scene where he goes to collect the rent is the scene of the century.
I agree with Rick on this point,the character of Geeta is never over the top or unnecessary but actually she is the only one academically qualified enough to have a proper banter with Mohan.
They are the yin and yang of the film,and an educated person can only open his/her mind to new opinions and array of thoughts when another educated person ignites them,because in Mohan's mind initially in the film only she is worthy of having a discussion and someone to be reasoned with.

A big salute to ARR and Javed saab❤️
Swades is literally the only film where srk is not playing srk!! He's just the character!! I loved him in this film.
Surely then you didn't watch his earlier films.
Couldn't be more true
won't agree with the word 'only'.
What about Chak De India then
Don't be so ignorant
SRK acting skills is so underrated and very few people appreciate that
That is because, though he started with varied type of roles initially, once he got to Rahul-type roles, he was stuck with those and did not venture into different types of roles. He did try a few movies Paheli, swades etc but they were commercial failures, though critically acclaimed. Naturally he got stuck with Rahul-type roles.
@@krishnaannapragada7259 because Rahul type movies became hugely successful.

He didn't did anything extra-ordinary in movie and merely stick to the script....I like his movies but he is not Govinda,Amir or Dilip Kumar....
Agree with Rick, Love angle was not at all distraction, instead it was subtle and pivotal for main narrative.
He missed National award that year to that Saif which was almost awarded to him by his mom who was the chairperson that year.....this is one of the top 5 films and performance oriented roles of his....
Rick is absolutely correct..His love for his childhood friend was the foundation for his love towards his village people.
Swades is my all time favourite.. i still cry on some scenes... the title track still gives me goosebumps and my heart gets overwhelmed
This is the film SRK will be most remembered for 20 years from now
He will be remembered for many.. ddlj swades my name is khan chak de darr
The Analogy with Gandhi Ji is mind blowing 🙌
That signature music of Swades shakes my soul everytime I listen to it and makes me emotional..keeping aside all imperfections of my country it is still one of the best places to live in Mother Earth...where people still care about others..proud to be Indian.
SRK is indeed a good actor, only envious people deny it..

You guys should watch SRK movies
As thinking you are Indian
Then You will get to know why SRK's movies are loved a lot
This movie was way ahead of its time.
Swades, My Name is Khan and Chak De India are SRK'S best performance Definitely it's in Top 3.
Followed by Dear Zindagi, his negative role in DON series and his performance in classic Love Story Veer Zaara and his lookalike Fan in Fan movie are his great performance till date. ✌️👌
I couldn’t have put that better myself. Totally agree with you on your summary there
@@roohiruh7318 Thank You...since SRK is a Versatile Actor, he has played several character roles in his filmy career. 🤘
You should Watch "DEAR ZINDAGI", Wonderful film , awesome performance by SRK and Alia

This movie was inspired by Kannada movie :
Shah Rukh Khan has thanked director Ashutosh Gowariker for helming the 2004 critically acclaimed film Swades, which featured the superstar in the lead role. As the film clocked 12 years today, the 51-year-old actor posted a sweet message on Twitter, praising the entire cast and crew of the movie. “Yeh jo Des hai mera Swades hai mera… Can’t thanks Ashutosh enough for such a lovely film. Whole cast/crew had such faith in goodness and Indianness,” he wrote. Swades, inspired by a true story, was a remake of Kannada movie Chigurida Kanasu with Shiva Rajkumar in lead role.
Incorrect information.
@@NoOne-jl7bk just google it.. director himself posted this in Twitter

Music was another plus in d movie...d background music listening to which u can connect the movie anytime....

Born and raised in India and living in the US for past 20 years.... this movie and the song yeh jo desh hai In it makes me cry every time.
What a movie, even watching a reaction video of an analysis video of the movie also almost brought me to tears.

This movie is greatly inspired by the 2003 kannada movie " chigurida kanasu"....acted by Shivaraj Kumar...
No it's not!
I agree with Rick, the love angle was very important for the story. 💕🇮🇳🙏🏻
It's a great movie...Touches a lot of topics which bollywood films usually do not speak about. Agree with Rick on the relationship being a critical component. Shah Rukh was phenomenal in the role.
Cinema beyond imagination is the best channel for deep analysis..
That train platform scene is just gut wrenching and performed so beautifully without saying anything.
Soul is the background score in that scene
Deli crime!!! 😂😂🤣🤣 you guys are getting arrested for the #Intro!!! 😫😫😫🙏

Fuck, this made me wanna watch the movie again. Makes me cry for Bharat mata every single time.
Wow just got out of my Organisational behaviour class where we learned about Servant Leadership 😲

That analysis you watched was awesome as well, the same guy who analysed the making of the music of Bombay..
And Rick’s take on ‘love’ was spot on..
guys, you should also watch the 'why classics failed' series. It looks at critically acclaimed films which were flops at the time of release
Watch 15 Park Avenue. Don't watch the trailer. Watch the movie. You will be introduced to the amazing Konkona Sen Sharma and Shabana Azmi.
I don't like Shahrukh Khan's acting much but man I just love this movie.
The entire film is about "land, people (society), and water"
From dress code to dialogue, character and their naming, this film reflects what we (not only Indians but the entire human civilization) constitute by accumulating land, people, and water and how we the human beings are devaluing the very nature of land, people and soceity.

Yule love stories is an modern adaptation of shivarama karanth's kannada novel.

King Khan's very, very good movie is a must see and AR Rahman's best songs The name of the movie is Swadesh
Rick you nailed it, you are so Indian from inside. Love from India brother.
here only for srk
Superb awesome reaction.one of my favourite RUclips channel.always supports your channel.love from Kerala ❤️SRK on of the best actor in Bollywood
Thanks for an amazing reaction.. however you could have shared an original link in the description box..
There's a reason why the character of Mohan is named so and why the heroine of Swades who plays the role of a village teacher is named Gita. The characters and their personalities embody all that is associated with their respective names. There's a reason why Mohan's Dai Maa is named after a river called Kaveri. There's a reason why they chose electricity/light as the technological development for the village. There's immense symbolism in that. One must pay close attention to that song that Gita sings on Dusshera festival in Swades. The song and that entire excerpt of Ramayana really does symbolize all that's happening in the village. It's a fine piece of analogy and it's extremely relevant to the movie's thematic structure.
Now you guys should react to his ‘how bollywood ruined love' by Cinema Beyond Entertainment
That one is a laughing riot😂😂😂
That was brilliant.
I am here after the takedown of the original video from CINEMA BEYOND ENTERTAINMENT.
Man, the Music of Swades by AR Rahman is so rich and brilliant that you can't imagine even this film without its music.. Legend ARR ❤️❤️
Wow.. finally u hv watched narration of Swades.. beautiful film with beautiful songs 👌
I love that Rick especially now understands how different diverse India is, and how the region and the culture that one grows up in would color one's idea of India. Yes, a Bengali's perspective will be different from a Kannadiga's or Punjabi's.
Screw the analysis. I absolutely loved everything about the movie. One of the best moving movies of all time and SRK's works. The title track just tears something inside. Love the movie to the core. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rick sir this time u bang On....excelent
This movie is a timeless classic. Greatest honest movie and SRK best acting ever
I haven't seen any other film where Shahrukh has underplayed himself to this extent. Just brilliant. He is not being Shahrukh here, just Mohan Bhargav. In other films I only see Shahrukh and not the character. People say Chak de, just because he doesn't have a love interest in chak de people think he is different. But reality is that there are many scenes where shahrukh's hyper mannerisms are so evident, e.g. "har team mein ek hi gunda hota hai". This kind of hyper mannerism is completely absent in Swades even when there are confrontation scenes. Thanks to Ashutosh, Swades is Shahrukh's best acted movie.
That shehnai playing in background is lit.🔥🔥🔥🔥 the
React on "Humko Humise Churalo" One of the best song of SRK and Aishwariya.
Korbin, the very fact that he went back to the US at all was considered path breaking at the time in Hindi cinema. Most other directors would have just shown a melodramatic ending where he just stays back and abandons his NASA project, his job etc. :D :D
Even though I'm just a student studying in the US and not planning to live there, the song 'Yeh jo desh hai mera' hits you deep in the guts everytime.
Ashutosh revealed once Movie is inspired from Kannada novel “Chigurida kanasu”...!!
Ashutosh never said any such thing.
It's a less flawed movie because this is aushotosh gowarekar and that (my name is khan) is karan johar. ... Although I'd say that's Karan johar's best movie.
And Rick I completely agree with you...the woman's love opened him up to more compassionate love, awareness and courage. Love is at the core of his awakening. 💜 It's clear you're a man who's been in love himself ✨
Hey if you guys need a cinephile indian to talk to who loves acting and film and might give you perspective from an indian side and probably correct some of the "lagaan is a true story" moments... I would like to apply 😂
That is the real problem.Now see ,Have you ever thought why these guys showed up only since the past 2 years ?Through Jio The network and means if communication of people really changed Before Jio Indians experienced poor nerwork connections.After the revolu of free internet by Jio These foreigners were able to penetrate through Our content .
We cant tell how these guys really are.See just like a other you tubers they do a lot of research about India
India is a big market for them.
We have more than 1 billion people.
Just see their video Reacting to mean comments They just literally insulted By saying BURN HATERS BURN If you face criticism ,you should face them in a polite manner and the never did that.
Through these channels Indians lose their valuable time by providing knowledge to these guys.
Just try starting American Reaction videos aiming Americans or any other people as your audience .They won't care..I mean you wont get the kes and subs like you get from an Indian audience.
I agree with Rick here. The love angle was necessary.
Watch Chakde India for SRK best performance
Already done, check out the review
@@swatisaini6447 kindly share the link

They watched it and didn't like it.
I understand enjoying cynical endings, but the ending of Swades just makes my heart almost burst out of my chest with joy. I can't really explain why. I'm not even Indian. It just makes me so happy.
Could you also please add the link to the original video that you're reacting to?
Thanks
1)" mohe rang dho laal " from sanjay leela Bhansali epic film Bajirao Mastani (Hindi song )
2)A R Rahman's song " munbe vaa"(Tamil song )
I agree with Rick. The songs are wonderful and beautifully placed and if he wasn't in love with her, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to go to certain lengths to mend his relationship with her that actually started the self discovery in him. It was crucial.
There are movies and then there is Swades! I guess am too biased since i have watched it innumerable times😊
SRK never like this before or after. Every person who graces the screen adds. Be ready to get ur tear buds streaming.. And also enjoy the feel good which the movie gets one into.
Music is another of its stars. Each song better than the previous.
Wat a piece of art.
Rick is spot on! And his point is articulated so beautifully! Love AND Music absolutely make the world go round and this is particularly true for India and Indians! Love and music are central to the enduring relevance of this movie. The analysis in the video was incisive and true EXCEPT for the critique on Mohan's love for Geeta and AR Rehman's soulful music being sideshow distractions to the narrative.
Wow I haven't agreed with Rick in awhile but totally with him here on the love story! The technical flaws in this movie made it a jarring component despite the chemistry but it was an essential part of his transformation. He wouldn't even have stayed as long or done recruiting for the school which was the sparking event for the later journey with the farmer, without her. Also Geeta was the stand-in for the perspective of the educated Indians who are working for their country
Rick you r so right... I love you man.......
When I first saw OSR long long back. I thought Rick was in love with one of his students who is Indian and hence this channel. Love does open doors. 😀❤️
