Swades: Gîtâ welcomes Mohan as a guest in her village home, but maintains a distance that is especially guarded by her reserved and averted gaze. She not only doesn't approve of cocky NRIs, but is also wary of this rival for the affection of Kaveriamma. Though she spurns the intrusion of his curious gazing at her languishing privacy (âlasya-kanyâ), the next morning she can't avoid the intricate eye-communication that forces her into unwilling complicity in his bad habit of smoking.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Sunthar

see all

  • Okay you guys are really impressed at the interpretation done by Pundit using Gayatri Joshi's eye contacts. Try appreciating another thing in this video. The portion between 2.18 and 2.22 when the music starts and the camera man focuses on Gita's eyes. Check out how the editing has been done to match the music to her eye lid blinks. Truly amazing.

  • wow! ur relli into swades n gita's vision huh....impressive!
