Swades: An appreciative Gîtâ looks on pensively but from a respectable distance as Mohan takes leave of the family to run her distant errand (vipralambhâ). Now that her hero has (half-) confessed his love and she feels sorry at having punished him severely for the same, it takes some needling to make her realize that, the vestiges of her vanity notwithstanding, her eyes have already betrayed her for good.

  • 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.

  • I love this movie, so I'll appreciate anything about it!

  • I've yet to post the 2nd part of this particular clip, viz., the rest of Gîtâ's song and her sitting on the temple ghats. I find her actual lyrics (losing her path, her self, courtship of the eyes, etc.), esp. at this stage of her psychological evolution, to be very meaningful.

    YouTube has been refusing part-2 repeatedly because of "invalid file format" but I'm going to keep trying.

    Thanks!

  • 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!
