IT WAS CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF 2004 AND I SAY TOO. SWADES CHANGED OUR IDEOLOGY TOWARDS INDIA. WE USED TO THINK INDIA HAS NOTHING TO GIVE US, BUT AFTER SEEING THIS MASTERPIECE WE REALISED THAT THOUGH INDIA HAS NOTHING TO GIVE US BUT IT GAVE US A FEELING OF BEING A PART OF THIS MOTHERLAND AND TO NURTURE OUR LIFE FOR HER. EVEN IF WE STAY IN AMERICA , AUSTRALIA, EUROPE WE WILL ALWAYS THINK ABOUT OUR INDIA ,IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE BORN AN INDIAN, AND NO ONE CANT DENY THE FACT,NOT EVEN OUR SOUL. BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE BY SHAHRUKH KHAN AND GAYATRI JOSHI . GAYATRI MADE US REALISE TO THINK ABOUT INDIA, GAYATRI IS THE BEST DISCOVERY OF ASHUTOSH AFTER GRACY SINGH OF LAGAAN.
