As a once NRI (non-resident Indian), this film tugs on my longing for the eternal homeland. Swades is meant to do this entirely, through SRK's tears and the shrill shenai in the background score. I would rather watch Swades over Lagaan, another one of Gowarikar's famously long films. However, Swades is also a film about the oppressor caste, fair-skinned savior — a troubling but common trope in Indian cinema.
