Swades: Mohan decides to end his exile in lap of prosperity
Loading...
Uploaded by pandit2406 on Nov 22, 2007
Swades: Mohan realizes that it's no longer mere homesickness, his guilt-laden attachment to his childhood foster-mother, nor even his newfound love and admiration for Gîtâ that is drawing him back irresistibly to India. Rather, he recognizes a calling from deep within that has found flesh-and-blood embodiment in and unites within a single archetypal image the two women of his life. Through their midwifery, he has discovered something greater within than his ego-centered individuality. It's as if he's fallen in love with his 'true' self.

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!
