Swades is most probably the best film of 2004. Go to Full Review Allan T. Sutherland Time Out 02/09/2006
Gowariker's follow-up to his Oscar nominated 'Lagaan' is a generally effective, entertaining and, at times, deeply moving 'journey of personal discovery'. Go to Full Review Derek Elley Variety 12/21/2004
