Swades: Initial meeting of eyes between Gita and Mohan in the bookshop. She looks down haughtily (mâninî) at an intimidated Mohan at their first encounter, followed by a display of her formidable IQ (number-crunching). To be contrasted with her adoring gaze while smiling in the caravan love-scene.

  • Friends,

    You might also want to check out my paper on "Love, devotion, and service: retelling the Râmâyana in Gowarikar's Homeland (Swades)," posted today at the hyperlink you'll find in the info box above (top right).

    It is being presented at the DANAM (Dharma Association of North America) panel (09 Nov 2009) at the American Academy of Religions (AAR) conference at Montreal.

  • What a pretty irony the bookshop is called Pathfinder, and she gaves him wrong directions LOL

    anyway Mohan and Gita found their "way" ...

    wow Swades is a movie full of meaning

    Thanks a lot for uploading

  • I never noticed before that the bookshop was called Pathfinder...irony indeed! Thanks for pointing this out to the rest of us...I think Swades is meant to show the us the 'path home'...to one's self-hood!

  • Friends,

    You might appreciate Swades better when you see it again after reading my ongoing review of its aesthetics entitled the "Science of love: look into Gîtâ's eyes in the Homeland."

    Click on my user-name above, and when you get to my YouTube profile, click on the link to my svAbhinava website: you'll see the link to the review in the "What's New" section, top of the left sidebar (unfortunately, URLs don't seem to be permitted in these comments).

    Enjoy!
