15 best Swades dialogues that capture true essence of India
Swades' dialogues are what truly spark a sense of patriotism and make us sit back and think. Check out some of the best lines from Shah Rukh Khan's movie here!
Swades' dialogues make us forget fancy spaceships for a second. The movie is all about a brilliant scientist, Mohan (played by the one and only Shah Rukh Khan), who ditches NASA to find his childhood caretaker in a tiny Indian village. Swades: We, the People (directed by Ashutosh Gowariker in 2004) is more than just a search though. It's a wake-up call for Mohan, as he faces the harsh realities of rural life. But what truly steals the show are the Swades dialogues.
Powerful and moving, they explore what it means to love your country, who you are, and the responsibility we all share to make things better. Mohan meets a spirited teacher, Gita (Gayatri Joshi), who challenges his whole perspective on India. He tries to bring change with clever ideas, but of course, things aren't that simple.
With stellar performances, A.R. Rahman's beautiful music, and those unforgettable Swades dialogues, this movie will stay with you long after the credits roll.
