swades vs. RDB
i think rdb as a movie is highly overrated...and swades highly underrated...
swades is much more impactful and realistic than rd...wotsay?
I care the least about the 'impact' of the movie. But,yes, Swades is far superior movie than RDB. Even the music of Swades is up there among Rahman's best whereas RDB's music is just about average( relative to Rahman's music only! ).

what r u saying all songs from RDB were instant hits. i know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this is streching it too far. i believe this board is only for die hard Swades fans. IMO RDB beats swades hands down in all aspects.
sharewhat r u saying all songs from RDB were instant hits
If commercial success is the only parameter, there is no point of discussion.RDB beats Swades by miles. But then according to this logic, Himesh Reshamiya's nasal cacophonies are better than Rahman's recent albums. Do you agree?
i know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this is streching it too far.
A self-contradictory statement.
there was a big flaw in the movie that many people couldn't spot. the movie says that the old lady had raised shahrukh, then how come nobody in the village didn't recognise him when he arrived ,moreover he didn't even know the directions to the village.
A real mystery! Did SRk undergo some plastic surgery so that the villager can't recognise him? Did he suffer from amnesia ? Perhaps many people aren't wise enough like you to spot the 'big flaw'. Before making such an absurd allegation and hence making a fool out of yourself, you should watch the movie properly.
IPO RDB beats swades hands down in all aspects.
As you said, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Peace.

the things i like most about RDB
1)It is entertaining at the same time thought provoking.Most belong to either of the two categories but rarely to both.
2)Rarely does one get an original script, superb direction, great technique, great music and superb performances all in one film.
3)I am floored by the way the great Aamir Khan has dissolved himself in the group.
4)The story doesn't revolve around a single person.
5)The movie stirred patriotic feelings in its audience without indulging in meaningless jingoism
6)It had been almost 2 days since I watched the movie and I could barely stop thinking about it!
don't know what people around the world think of this movie. Impressions of a movie are always subjective and can be almost diametrically opposite! But quite frankly, I don't care! I had given up all hopes of a recent movie breaking into my top 15 films of all time. RDB changed all that! Thank You R O Mehra!!
ditto feelings.. :)
shareIMO both movies were absolutely fantastic, but I prefer Swades just because it was more touching and RDB had a similar plot to the canadian film Jesus de Montreal
shareoh God!...srk was not raised in the village...dint u watch the movie properly!!..that old lady just took care of him in the city or whrever..then he went abroad 2 study n that lady went 2 an old age home n then that Gita came n took her 2 the village...is it clear now?!?!

ahh.....at last..........i just posted an almost same post on that guys message rewply......that guy didnt know wat happened in the movie and was critisizing about the goofs that were not actually made
Swades is not even near RDB... The former is deep in the ground... Good, impactful movie... The latter (RDB) is a poignant, moving, hilarious (some scenes) and one of the best movies of all time.
share"there was a big flaw in the movie that many people couldn't spot"
- Oh Yes and you found it....probably U did not watch the movie properly enough.
"Perhaps many people aren't wise enough like you to spot the 'big flaw'. Before making such an absurd allegation and hence making a fool out of yourself, you should watch the movie properly"
- I rest my case.
Hey when there is comparison between RDB and Swades there is no question of music director, coz both of the musics hav been directed by A.R.Rehman.
your are right about himesh, he cannot be compared with Rehman
@@@@!!!!::and in your statement::!!!!@@@@

Shah rukh was not brought up in that village(Charanpur)
he was just brought up by the old lady!!!!
it is not necessary that if he was brought up by the old lady the villagers should know him.
In fact the lady recognizes him immediately even after years!!!!
so before commenting be concious of what you express!

well u didn't see the movie carefully my friend ...it is very well shown that the old lady brought him up in the town and later on moved back to her village which mohan bhargav(srk) had never visited
according to me i is the best film ever maid....a flawless film
i think ashutosh gowariker is the best director
even lagaan was flawless
well swades was better than rdb in every aSpect !
i hope u had seen swades more carefully...the old lady had raised SRK but in delhi also he was too young at that time (he completed his education in pennsylvania-sorry if spelling is wrong)
about RDB wud it be so easy to
1)murder the defence min of india
2)beat the mother of a shaheed on roads the very next day
dats cinematic liberty at its height...though the movie passed a good msg
Swades, Swades, Swades. It was realistic, poignant, touching, practical and heartwarming. If there was ever a "message" in a film, this one had it in a form that was accessible to most, NRI and resident Indians. SRK gave an amazing performance, showed (again many years after Dil se) that with the right material and right direction he can be the best. This is why he is where he is. Flashes of brilliance have always existed in his performances but in Swades it was all poetry!! The rest of the cast was amazing, the gram panchayat could have been a panchayat anywhere!
I do not want to offend any Aamir fans, but RDB was an entertainer and not serious cinema. The plot was filmy, the solution filmy and fake, and Aamir was uncomfortable (and unsuited) in the role of a 20 something. He did blend well with the other youngsters and the package carried the film.
Swades music was ethereal - RDB was peppy (the Gurdwara number was divine), Swades wins in that category too.
To Sumeetprad...lol. Your post made me laugh...the only self contradiction is your post!
The movie makes explicitly clear that SRK was brought up by Kaveriamma; no where does it say that it was in Charanpur. Kaveriamma was sent to an old people home after SRK left and Geeta came and picked her up to take her back to her own village which was Charanpur. There is no link between SRK and Charanpur so obviously no one is going to recognize him! Watch it again...the most influential Bollywood movie of all time. Period.
Heard of sarcasm?
I was replying to someone( who deleted his/her post afterwards) in a sarcastic way.

Lol....... i guess u didnt see the ,..... movie ...properly... SrK lived wid his parents and the lady was the caretaker......and wen SRK went to America the lady went to the asharam where he goes and checks in.....and wen the ACTRESS`S parents die then the lady takes her to the village after the actress completes her degree............it was not a goof..its just u who didnt see the movie properly
Hi, Indiepoo.
shareguess u losing perspective..first of all it ll be peurile to compare both the movies..rdb was very aggresive,it was brash and truly FICTIONAL...but undoubtedly a very good movie(but in a few respects unrealistic)
Swades on the other hand,,was shot on a very realistic basis,,what mohan does,,any nri or any indian can do.swades strikes a chord...n ya don even compare the music..esp the back ground scores...even rehman confessed swades'music is his favourite...
