I watched this movie in US , in 2005 , when was in Atlanta, just finished my Engg and started a career. But after watching this movie in the one and only hindi movie theatre in Atlanta, I wept the entire night. I stayed there for four yrs snd every minute I listened to this song made me cry like a baby. Then one day I decided to quit everything and come back to my homeland. I haven't regreted it ever since. Now I m in kolkata, working in a university as a professor. Yes I dnt earn in dollars anymore but I have more than what I ever had in US. I love India. i m a proud Indian. jai Hind
Well done Ma’am. We realise the value of our homeland once we go out of our country. I got assignment from my company & I had to shift to Sri Lanka for 6 months. Everyday I used to miss India & my people. I tried my level best to wrap up the assignment & came back in 5 months. The flight landed in Chennai International Airport. I could feel my moist eyes. That day I promised myself..if I earn enough money, I’ll go for trips to other countries but I’ll never plan to settle there for long time. Amader desh ta khub mayabi, Ma’am. Eke bhalo na bese para jaay na. Er theke dur thaka o jaayna. Take care 🙏🏼
Jai Hind! This inspiring song is the reason I stayed back in India after engineering college. When all my friends were insulting the country and talking about building a better, richer life in America... there were other thoughts in my head. This was the theme song of those thoughts. Stay back and use your brain to build the future of India. Not a country that you have adopted. Jai Hind!
This movie made me return from Germany. I still owe this movie alot. It opened my eyes. Living far away from home isn't worth it. Now I'm here in chennai with my family. A successful software developer. ❤
I've been living in USA for 13 years now and every time I hear the song, that sehnai touches my heart and brings tears. This movie is such a masterpiece and very underrated at the same time.
This movie deserve an Oscar. Thank you India for this beautiful movie, audience in 2004 was not ready for this masterpiece.. love from Nepal🇳🇵... I love my neighbour India, so much to learn from you people..
@@upasnaupasna2997 An abundance Love to that Feeling ..from other side of Mechi River ...from Darjeeling .. Divided by border but UNITED by Culture ...Proud to be Nepali
it's been 4 years away from home.. and while you're sitting alone in your apartment in a foreign land.. believe me, this song hits at a very different level.. 😞
@@voiceofshahzeb bro uska matlab h agar indian cinema m koi cult classic movies ki baat karega na to rather than chennai exprees and hny ye movie ka naam yaad karenge log aur saath hi srk ki acting ki
After Chandrayan soft landing we all aspirants sat together and started crying while listening this song. Congratulations bharat, congratulations ISRO🇮🇳❤
This movie stopped so many people moving abroad, I am one of them …did my engineering in 2007 and had clear chance of doing MS from USA but didn’t opted for that….I am working for a multinational in India and travelled almost 30 countries but my India is the best …
Absolutely,I also think Swades is one of the best Bollywood movies ever made.Its one of my all time favorite Bollywood movies.I'm also from Bangladesh.I love to watch SRK,Aamir khan and Akshay kumar's movies,Ayshmann khurrana is my favorite among new generation Bollywood actors.But i don't like Salman khan,i think Salman khan is overrated,his acting skill is very average.
Audience wasn't mature for this masterpiece in 2004. I hope in 2024 the makers should theatrical re-release this movie on its 20th anniversary and let's give this movie another chance.
Was just looking for something like what u said while scrolling through the comments... :-) So true! Indian society is still not mature enough to appreciate movies ahead of its times. DCH, Lakhshya could taste success only in Metro/Tier-1 cities. . . And till date only a miniscule percentage of the population has seen Swadesh, Lakshya, Dor. . . . .
nationallism hepls human to stand by each other and it ask us to protect our territory netaji said before becoming a nationalist you cant think of international prosperity
@@kjat4161 And Tagore said "I am willing to serve my country; but my worship I reserve for Right which is far greater than country. To worship my country as a god is to bring curse upon it" "I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live" Nationalism is an extremely important, no doubt about it, but like I said, it doesn't have to be based on hatred of another country.
No one can make a movie like SWADES now. Still wish this MASTER PIECE shud be released in the theaters once again..!! This movie will break many records if it gets released now.
Returning TO India I’m 30 years old and I’ve lived in Australia since 2013 and have worked in various jobs. While Australia has offered many opportunities, I found that I wasn’t satisfied on a deeper level. Despite the financial stability, I realized that material wealth alone doesn’t fulfill me. I frequently visited India and felt a deep emotional connection every time I left, which made me realize that India truly feels like home. Australia, while offering a high standard of living, has its own set of challenges. The cost of living is high, and the focus often seems to be solely on work, with little time for personal fulfillment. The migration rules and overall system sometimes feel restrictive, and I don’t experience the same sense of freedom that I do in India. I’ve also traveled to other countries like the USA and Canada and observed that while they have their own strengths, they also have their own set of challenges and societal issues. The sense of community and connection I feel in India is something I deeply value, and I believe that being close to my roots and my land will bring me greater personal satisfaction and a more meaningful life.
General audiences just reject the movie when it's released in 2004, but I'm considering it's the best movie done by any mainstream director & actor in India.
I'm from the Netherlands so in a very different setting from India, don't even understand the lyrics. But this song just awakens a deep longing to go 'home', to where my own roots are, or even to our universal source (in a spiritual sense). It's very very beautiful.
The way you have expressed the meaning, clearly says that you have understood the meaning even if you don't understand lyrics. Truly, music has no language.
Egyptian girl who madly In love with india 🇮🇳 since childhood ♥️ I feel you mohan 💔 I wish to back again to my india and be there forever but sometimes life force us to be in places we don't belong at all 💔 I belong to india only and it makes me cry daily 💙 my friends my love my everything is there ♥️ pray all of you to go back where my heart feel alive ♥️
Iam a maxillofacial surgeon from AIIMS New Delhi. My colleagues have settled in Canada. This single strong feeling to serve my family my country my people encourage me to be the best version of myself.
Swades is not only about success or failure it's about the nation, it's about the people of our country, it's about you have problems everyone have problems but if we unite we can conquer anything,it's about humanity (Manse Ravan Jo nikale Ram uske Manme hai) it's about human that we should not divide by the name of Caste Religion... It's about the NRI's who left the country for better life for themselves but forgot what the people of the country go through,there is a dialogue in that movie (Apne angan ka pyer agar dusre ke Ghar mein fulefale to Ghar ki Arman mati mein mil jati hai😭😭😭🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳) Swades is the best movie ever made in india
The specialty of this movie is that at its end, u feel like u r Mohan.. and want to go back and live with Kaveri Amma, Geeta... Mela ram etc. Hit like if u agree.
This song should be in the Guinness book of world records: for oceans amount of tears shed in love of one's country. It is just being Bharatiyas, stay united, stay strong
I love US and have travelled to it a lot of times......seems there is no imperfection there but there is this emptiness which I never feel in India.....i can never leave my India and the warmth and love of this great nation....yes off course I will continue visiting other beautiful countries
*English translation* of *Yeh Jo Des hai tera, Swades* 👇🏻 1-This country of yours, your motherland calls out to you.. this is a bond which can never break 2-how can you ever forget the scent of the earth (of your homeland) wherever you go, you will come back. in new paths (that you take), in quiet sighs to your lost heart, someone will say..+ (repeat 1) [the someone here is nothing but an inner voice of himself.] 3-Your life is saying to you, you have achieved everything, what's there that is still missing then? as such, all comforts are there for you, but you're far from your home come, let's go back, O crazy one where at least someone will call you their own that country of yours calls you..+ (repeat 1) 4-It's this very moment, in which there is hidden, a complete century, an entire lifetime. Don't you ask why there is, a two-way fork on the road.. [this represents a dilemma] you are the one who should suggest the path you are the one who would tell in which direction to take, that country..+ (repeat 1) *A song with a patriotic sentiment that talks about the dilemma of a successful immigrant over whether he should listen to his inner voice that wants him to go back to his native country and pay back to the people of that country* 🧡Shower🤍Your💚Love❤
@@rakulkarni25 not Aditya Chopra dude.....he is the same person who had produced darr, Chak de India too, where we get to see Srk's real acting 💚, its the audiences who had steretyped him as a romantic hero, after huge success of DDLJ, karan johar just exploited his talent and minted money😡
@@nilesh6886 Yes, of course Karan Johar used him for minting money. Go and watch the KJo-SRK films carefully with a special mention to My Name Is Khan, and then spread your negativity.
I completed my masters in Boston, USA. Whenever I used to watch 'Swades' in USA .I used to laugh I used to think this is not possible in real LIFE. But today I am back to India. I cried a lot by watching this movie after 8 years. Its definitely an eye opening movie. SRK nailed it .
Now as i have shifted to UK and realized how brilliant this song has been written and composed. Every word touches you and you can relate to it everytime you listen. Just Brilliant. There is nothing like India. Jai hind.
I have been living in Europe for the past 7 years, working in an IT company. I also have a strong desire to return to India. However, upon reflection, I realized that I have a family to take care of. If I were to go back to India at this stage, I fear that I would struggle to find a job. I have dedicated years to my education and establishing a stable career, and if I were to return to India, it is unlikely that I would be able to secure a job even at a salary of 40,000 per month. These thoughts have given me pause and made me think about my situation. Beside this love this movie and love india 🇮🇳 Jai Hind!
nowdays companies pay good amount of salary according to Indian Standards. If you have good skills and experience the can pay you in between 1.5L to 2L.
I promise you this, when your son or daughter is old enough to work and settle in his/her life, they will want to come back to INDIA. Just watch us, We will Raise INDIA. We will bring it to par against any big shot nation in the world. Mark my words. We will make INDIA the greatest wonder of the world. You have my word.
@@ravinderpal603 yes sir cz it's very difficult to find job here and people are dying hard to move from this country u can't get the lifestyle now u enjoying now in India I guess..
2 jokes happened in 2005, Saif Ali khan was awarded National best actor for hum tum instead of srk for swades.. Anu Malik was given best music director for Main Hoon Na instead of AR Rahman for swades
peak indian cinema. beautifully shot, brilliant script with great performances and one of the best scores i’ve ever had the privilege of listening to. this movie has aged like the finest wine one could imagine.
I don't think that writer and director thought in deep like you did. Anyways, good analysis, the same thought was coming to my mind when i was seeing this movie.
Now Bollywood is looking for stories in their films. But SRK has done this movie 15years back. If swadesh get released today, it would break all record.
No, today idiots would have spread negativity about srk for showing the real problems of our country instead trying to fix them, and would have ask to boycott movie as it happening for SRK's recent movies, today Patriotism is sell by so called superstar Canadian akki
I can’t stop crying while I’m watching this masterpiece song which reminds me of my lovely Bharat 🇮🇳 and my 33 years of life spent with my parents there. Now I’m earning in dollars in Canada but with no mental peace. Each and every single moment here, I am missing my parents, my sister, my niece my life 🇮🇳. Lots of debt and responsibilities made me stuck here in foreign country. I don’t know when I would be back to my home 🇮🇳… my each and every breath is missing my India 🇮🇳 God please make me capable enough to bring me back to my beautiful country India 🇮🇳
I can totally relate to this movie so much! Mohan had to see his mom and had to get approval from his boss to fly to india asap! I myself haven’t seen my mom and dad’s families in 13 years!!! The longest drought since my first ever visit back to Bangladesh in 2010! Unfortunately the streak continues for me, next year will mark 14 years since I went back to Bangladesh! 😢 Jai hind & joy bangla ❤️🇧🇩🇮🇳
Its bcoz of people like us who didn't appreciated SRK's work in movies like swades at that point of time which made him do commercially successful movies. WE ARE REALLY VERY SORRY SRK FOR NOT APPRECIATING THE KIND OF WORK THAT OUR COUNTRY REALLY WANTED. LOVE YOU SRK.
@@teenentertainingtech6823 SRK STARTING SE HI MASALA MOVIES KARTA HAI BAS CHAK DE INDIA AUR SWADES ACHCHI HAI BAAKI SAB TO BAKWAS HAI. AUR SABNE ISKO APPRECIATE BHI KARA THA FIR BHI ISNE SIRF MASALA MOVIES HI KARI AUR KUCH TRY NHI KARA
@@pranshavjoshi5088 so will you mind if you remind me how srk started his career hmm..do you know how much yash chopra had to convince srk to do ddlj cause srk didn't wanted to do lovey dovey movies..ok tell me have you seen dil se or ashoka n mind if you check the numbers it made..or check if how much swades made..why we have to go back to time just take fan as an example..he had to sticked to commercial cinema cause that time audiences didn't pick up those movies he was appreciated as ROMATIC LOVER BOY not for his amazing acting skills...He is a superstar rn but if you had tried to check his interviews you would know that he is not happy with the cinemas he has done n rn he is trying to do the good cinematic movies
WelL On the same year Swades was made,We got to see Lord of the rings and Swades may feel a bit emotional To indians But its never gonna match Lord of the rings
The most heart aching scene from this movie was when Srk travels to a village to collect the rent. Later next morning he gives them a sum and he comes back without collecting the money after seeing their deprived life. That scene was real prick in my heart. That's what the real india people do live without essential things in life. This was a gem of a film.❤❤
True bro when he went there and farmer offered him the bajra roti and his family is watching him eat that roti in front of their eyes i can never know how desperate they were , that scene still shook me to my core ....
Yes that one and the next day when he returns in the train. That little boy selling water for a mere 25 paise. Years came in my eyes. Swadesh is a gem movie. A classic.
this was the era of atal ji, kalam ji, sachin tendulkar, rahul dravid, AR Rehman, geet sethi, Vishwanathan Anand, PT usha, sharukh, amitabh. I am proud to be nurtured in that era
I left Bharat in 2018, completed my masters in 2020 and now working as a scientist in a multinational company. I thought i was living a comfortable happy life until i visited home last year in October and realized how out of place and unhappy i am in the US. Today I mustered up the strength to watch this movie and cried throughout half the movie. Reality has hit home and I realize how even though i am earning huge dollars my life and soul is a empty as the posh apartment i live in.
Be practical friend thousands wait in India for a dream like you.but if you have extra help your poor relatives or orphanage and you'll be happy and they'll be thankful to you .
I'm not an Indian, but Indonesian (Indian archipelago lol). This movie hits home. Our country is quite similar and I don't know if there are many Indians or Indonesians that share my sentiment towards our respective countries, but I am upset with the current trajectory of the country. The progress is slow on fair law enforcement, corruption reduction, and human right protection. Damn, I love my country especially the people, but I am hopeless. I am planning to go to resettle somewhere in the west, but I hope I can contribute back to my country like the character Shahrukh portray here someday.
No matter who you are Hindu,Muslim or Sikh,this song will touch your heart if you are an Indian.Also I will always remember Shahrukh Khan for doing this movie.Its like a classic,too bad it did not get the success it deserved.If Swades had released in 2015 it would have been a much greater success because the audience has matured by leaps and bounds today.
It's been 4 years away from my motherland...watching this masterpiece from my office with teary eyes...while my country is celebrating 77th Independence day. Hope to be back...someday!!! This is my anthem to stay connected to my roots.
I was living an comfortable life in Qatar and than this movie happened and this song was stuck in my head,I quit everything and came to India 5 years back with an pledge never to go abroad for earning, best decision ever of my life.
@@H_F2023 yes it happens sometimes, we watch the movie not during release but at an very later stage. Anyways get well soon,hope you are fine and let go the hatred.
faizant15 when it came out He probably didn’t watch it, he probably watched it recently and then it was stuck in his head. Just like me, I was born when this movie was made and it got stuck in my head
When this movie was released,i was posted at Rajkot Gujrat far away from sweet City Belgaum. I used to stay in hostel. Everyday night i used to listen to this song,and everynight i used think of going back..Not even a single day has passed without listening this song...This has helped me to keep me rootedand strong.
People don't leave their country because they don't love it......that love is unconditional.....it's the situation, the conditions of life that force people to migrate. Nobody wants to leave their country, their home, their everything to end up being among strangers........
Just watching Swadesh on Doordarshan. I lived in USA for 21 yrs, and came back here 2months ago. I have never been more proud and at peace with any decision of my life. This song sums up all my feelings.
Yes I did. And this week I'm gonna complete 2yrs. When we moved it was 2015, Obama was still the President (God bless the man!). And now looking at USA in 2017, I feel even more proud that my decision was well-timed! I am thankful to USA for giving me a perspective of the world that I couldn't have had sitting here in India. And thankful enough to have taken the decision to be back, as the essence of this song! Wish you best in your soul-searching!
Thank you. I am trying to move back slowly over a period of 3-5 years. My parents will stay in states while myself and my wife set everything up in India. This way there is no COMING back to USA. People in their early 30s like myself need to do something there successfully. That's why I would like to move slowly not in one shot. In one Shot move, people generally fails to establish themselves in india and ends up back in the USA.
Am not Indian but I was brought up and raised in India for 17 years. I have spent more than half of my life here in U.S yet every time I listened to this song tears rolling and heart aching. This song remind me all the beautiful thing in India and I was lucky to be born in India and India will always hold a special place in my heart. I request to every successful doctors, engineers, scientist and entrepreneur to go back and build the future there. India and its people need you.
I’ve been to India in sept ‘23. After 23 years in the USA. It’s March ‘24 right now. And I’m still shedding tears at this song. This is just holding special places in every pardesi’s heart. Like this if you’re an expat from India making another country your home, injecting just that special ingredient making it your home.
Listening in the time(2023), when everyone wants to escape from his/her country due to economical crisis. Feels like it's a humble request of nation in the voice of A.R. Rahman that "don't leave your motherland alone". 🥺❣
Best movie. I've worked at Goddard NASA and NASA DC. Everyday I take metro, I used to listen this song. Kudos to the actor and director. Most underrated movie of shah rukh Khan.
Hey bro, I know your comment is old but want you to know you're not alone. I also moved to Australia (Brisbane) with my parents as an 8 year old, 13 years ago. Still miss my country and still have lots of love and pride for OUR INDIA
@@atriacharya7297 My family, the food, the passion for cricket, movies, music...everything bro. Our country is beautiful to its core from our history to the present
We all belong somewhere in this Universe, when you return to your true Home, where you truly belong, you will get feelings which can not be recreated anywhere else in this Universe. Hence why when we move far away from Home, we get deep nostalgia. I hope every soul in this Universe fins their true Home someday, and returns to where they truly belong, to be at peace, and to be finally happy.
@@Vishu2075 This song has that special ability the feelings of nationalism on this song is too much. I m living in US for last 15 yrs everytime i hear this song , there is strong urge to go back to india!!!! I think only AR Rahman has that unique ability to compose songs which creates the exact intended feeling...Like Ma Tuche Salaam song
It's unfortunate this classic movie failed. It's been more than 4 years now since I have been living out of India. Whenever I leave India after vacation I relate my all situations with this song. Even after reaching my destination I keep watching this song I get goosebumps..my eyes become dewy & I cry. Jai Hind.
The scene in which a boy sells a glass of water running outside a train and sharukh purchasing a glass makes me cry everytime, the background score of the scene is so heart touching.
Ashutosh Gowariker, has really made this movie straight from the heart. It has none of the ridiculous clichés one is typically used to seeing when one sees a story about an India returning home. He has captured something which perhaps no other Indian movie has - that love for ones country can be strong without making an excessively big deal about it. It is a long movie. But I think the rather leisurely pace of the movie is required because it gives enough time for the protagonist, Mohan Bhargava, to come to India (with his mineral water and caravan) and start to fall in love with its beauty as well as understand its incongruities which frustrate us all as well. I thought there were three moments in the movie that captured it all 1. The feeling he gets when he starts to land in India. All of us feel it. I do even today. It's called coming home. 2. The mineral water - that is a classic. In fact it is a character of its own throughout the movie and plays its own part! 2. The boy serving water at 25paise to the train passengers and Mohan Bhargava's reaction I am saddened that Indians both in India and around the world have not liked this movie. It will be remembered as an epic. 2.
Many of my students are leaving the country and some have no plan to return to their imperfect motherland, Bangladesh. I often talk about this movie in the class & try to inspire them not to forget their roots. This movie transcends every border & makes every one of us love our country. SRK's best movie for me.
Do what ? pay bribes all your life ? medicore life for your children ? work 12-14 hours a day and commute for 2-3 hours ? see politicians looting our country and changing parties for crores ? Unhealthy air and water ? Seeing people fighting each other in name of religion ? I would better stay where I'm now ❤❤❤
the master of chords and subtilities... only a spiritual person can make this music... Its unbelievable detailing... masterpiece. Bowing down again afte years, ARR. U inspired us. A great story which didnt become a box office hit for unknown reasons.. A timeless classic movie from the crappy bollywood
Thank you Jesus...I love India ❤️😭 I was already determined to serve my country in backward states like chattisgarh from where I belong,Iam doing My MBBS ,and after listening to this song Iam more bucked up to serve my India no matter if i will earn lesser than my fellow doctors who will be living in metropolitan and developed city.. but I will serve those who are in need and can't able to afford medical expenses
I have been listening to this song for so many years, On June 1 I was having two offers one is to go iit bombay and choose foreign countries placement which gives lakhs and lakhs and a offer from DRDO scientist post which gives lakhs but comparatively less, I chooses DRDO and to work for my National technology development. Thanks to this song team. I value my National people more than money and should do others too. Will do better work for the nation and our people.❤ Jai hind
I am from Rajasthan now living in gujarat. I miss my Rajasthan so much 😭😭😭😭😭. I wish i could go back to my Rajasthan from gujarat just like SRK came back to india in this movie...
As someone who is in US this song very clearly depicts the dilemma that we face..No matter how long you stay outside of country you will always feel homesick and deep down you know that India is where heart belongs
Best Indian movie ever made. And what a composition by ARR, what acting by SRK, and what direction by Ashutosh. Simply superb. Every time I listen to this song, I feel like crying.
This movie had everything caste discrimination, girl education, farmer poverty, non development. But the movie will inspire you to do something good and not involve in ruckus or riots
I was in US for 6 years starting in 2015. I literally did not see or listen to this song for the first 3 years. I avoided it because I knew it would bring me to tears and on my knees begging to go home. When the days to come back came nearer, I would listen and sing this song. There is something about these lyrics that transports you to those little roads, homes, family members and festival celebration. It's like going into a trance. Now I am back to India and have listened to it with pride and reverence. Love you India and no other country can be better than you for me.
I did my graduation from University of Derby, scotland.I worked there for more than two years. After listening the song( from swades) , i left my job and now trying hard for the betterment of my country. Yah, getting low package but yet satisfied.
I have been living outside India & I cant wait to return to my homeland. the people, the rains, the forests, greenery, the comforts and most of all feeling connected ... Its above saving money.. ive lived in a lot of places but India will spoil you .. and this is exactly how it happens.. i get flashbacks of my home, the auto rides, the air during Diwali and holi and other festivities, the people...its pulsating and you feel alive in every minute of your existence in India. Now that I've lived almost 30 years of my life in India, which is too long, it's hard to like it anywhere else. Not just due to habit, it's also because life is simpler there and makes u feel alive. You're always comparing and emotionally India is always winning..
