Should be 8 points or more

I saw a lot of low scores in the short review, and I was a little bit disappointed. This film was made in 2004, which is 7 years earlier than the three silly, but it is more realistic and romantic than the three silly as a whole, and it should definitely be higher than 8 points, although the story It's very simple: children who have been away for many years go home to find relatives and reap their love and settle in their hometown... But it tells simple stories that are very touching, and slowly melt away when people watch them. It’s three hours full of delicate, romantic, affectionate

At the end, Mohan wore a dirty vest and red pants. After wrestling with the postmaster, he was covered with dirt. He walked to the river naturally and soaked his arms in the river water.

I burst into tears here

I don’t know why. I can’t control my tears anymore when I saw this scene. Maybe it’s because I saw Mohan sit by the river so naturally, then wash his arms with the river water naturally, and feel that he is the real one at that moment When he returned to his hometown, he really belonged there at that moment. As a person who has been away from his hometown for many years, seeing this scene, I really can’t help being touched.

If you think this film is “too much singing and dancing, and the duration is too long”, then you don’t know it and it’s not suitable for watching, and there is no need to score it. The high score of 8.3 on IMBD already shows its weight, and many Internet critics. It is said that this is one of the best movies in modern Bollywood. It is not a popcorn-flick, let alone a commercial film like Sansha. It is a very, very, very realistic film about home and roots. I need you to take the time to calm down and experience it slowly. If you are an expatriate, I recommend you to see it. There will be a lot of resonance and a lot of rewards.

Swades quotes

  • Fatima Bi: Apne hi paani me mil jaana barf ka muqqadar hota hai.

  • Mohan Bhargav: I'm only speaking of things I've experienced while living here. And that is that we keep fighting among ourselves when we must fight against illiteracy, over-population & corruption. Everyday, in our streets & homes, each one of us keeps saying their is no future of this country. This country is on the path of destruction. If we keep saying this, we will one day actually land up there. You'll need to do something about this. You too! Not just the members of the Panchayat but everyone in the village. You're blaming Panchayat for your problems. But when you step into their shoes, you'll do the same thing. This applies to me too. The dalits blame the brahmins and brahmins claim that their piety is despoiled by the dalits. The blacksmith & potter blame the moneylender. The land owners blame the peasants, but they don't give them their rights. In what way are we great then? If we have problems in the village, we point our finger at the State and the State at someone else. We all are finding fault with each other! But the true fact is that we're all to be blamed. Because the problem is us. Me, you, all of us...

    Vishwa: Are you out of your mind! What are you saying?

    Mohan Bhargav: All I know is that a weaver who changed his occupation by becoming a farmer can't even feed his family or give his children even some basic education. He can only watch his kids die of malnutrition.
