In what way are we great then? If we have problems in the village, we point our finger at the State and the State at someone else. The land owners blame the peasants, but they don't give them their rights. The blacksmith & potter blame the moneylender. The dalits blame the brahmins and brahmins claim that their piety is despoiled by the dalits. But when you step into their shoes, you'll do the same thing. You're blaming Panchayat for your problems. You too! Not just the members of the Panchayat but everyone in the village. If we keep saying this, we will one day actually land up there. This country is on the path of destruction. Everyday, in our streets & homes, each one of us keeps saying their is no future of this country. And that is that we keep fighting among ourselves when we must fight against illiteracy, over-population & corruption. One can only hope.Mohan Bhargav: I'm only speaking of things I've experienced while living here. The normalcy of the movie is something which might (and hopefully will) change the way cinema is seen and made in India in the future. The maturity of the script, the actors and the score makes it a journey of epic proportions without it looking epic at all. Besides this the movie also deals with the desires and priorities of humans inspite of the trials and tribulations of daily living. The feelings and expectations of an nri set aside, it tells the story of middle and upper class India losing touch with the harsh realities of the sufferings of the less fortunate ones all around us (and the fact that we can do very little to change the ongoing scenario is even more glaring and painful). However this movie has so many ingredients of being a pathbreaker for Indian cinema that its almost scary. There is no point comparing lagaan (the directors 1st movie) to this movie as his earlier venture was purely fiction with no semblance of realism in it. Swades has finally reached the next level of Indian movie-making with the help of ashutosh, srk and rahman where the execution, the concept and the treatment of the film is at least (i can safely assume) close to world standards. And now it seems that the moment has arrived. Its been ever so often that as Indians we have lamblasted the mushy, one track nonsensical movies that were being churned out by bollywood and yearned for something slightly honest and celebral. He can only watch his kids die of malnutrition. Mohan Bhargav: All I know is that a weaver who changed his occupation by becoming a farmer can't even feed his family or give his children even some basic education. Vishwa: Are you out of your mind! What are you saying? We all are finding fault with each other! But the true fact is that we're all to be blamed.
