The idea for this movie hit me as very original. Putting Shah Rukh as the main character was a very intelligent choice, as his acting skills shine through wonderfully in the role. A R Rahman, as always, exudes fantastic musical talent,... Full review

Sawades could have been a lot better if it had a different cast, especially Shahrukh. Story is good and gives a good message in the end. It suffers mainly due to casting problems. A good lead actor (not a star) would... Full review

Swades is about an ironic struggle of a scientist of Indian origin caught in the cross fire of shortage of water and energy - the basic elements of existence. The story deftly progresses through a foresightful employer backed by an abundantly... Full review

is an excruciatingly painful film to watch.....make it to the final act, you're expecting to be gratified by a smart ending.....If you survive the film's plodding pace....and while Priyanka Chopra throws herself into the challenge, she is let down by a poor script..... ... Full Review

But Yogesh's bride-hunt never gets tedious, thanks to the unadorned interiors of the simple plot.....Some of the music in the otherwise-interesting mix of acoustics and sporadic melody by debutant Sohail Sen is also a burden on the narrative.....too broadly parochial to match the narrative's mellow mood -.... ...

There is a languidness to the movie, echoing the lovely lyrics of one of its best songs, 'yun hi chala chal rahi, jeevan gaadi hai, samay pahiya..
The director puts the 'gaon' back on the map, and this is a brave choice: it was easier to go rural, and stay rural in Lagaan .

One is perhaps starting to expect too much from director Ashutosh Gowariker after such masterpieces like Lagaan and Swades.
Although the 16th-century love story upon which it's based might be long forgotten, this endearing treatment sears into the memory through sheer size and scale alone.
