he's not just missing his home .. in the movie he feels guilty for not having done something for his people with his skills.. what he does about it you have to watch this masterpiece of a movie.
This meaning actually no body are interpreting... Yeah .with intelligence of NASA level he has to be guilty of not helping people who are so caring for him ...he is feeling guilty of interpreting them wrong before.
I can relate to this movie, my Dad was a scientist @ NIST W. DC, and he left everything, the great pay, comfort, everything and came back to India, so that he can help us (our country) grow. Now he works in IPR (N. Fusion Plant) Gandhinagar India, helping us grow.
He was a versatile actor, but peoples demand has made him romantic actor only. philanthropist in swades, villian in don and negative character in baazigar, asperger syndrome patient in my name is khan . thats how diverse his characters used to be. now dilwale, happy new year, Jab tak hai jaan(only got success due to yash chopra being alive at that time)
@@swarooprajpurohit110 it's just people opinion, he think SRK is better you think someone else is better this all just opinion. Maybe what actor you think is better than SRK or maybe SRK is better than the actor you think is better.
all this negativity around SRK makes me feel sad. He loves his country more than anyone else and has done more for it than all of us combined. stop the hate.
Mukesh Pandya i dont think you have watched darr, baazigar, kabhi haan kabhi na, ddlj, dtph, kuch kuch hota hai, kal ho na ho, veer zaara, swades, kabhi alvida na kehna, kabhi khushi kabhi gham, chak de! India, my name is khan, fan and raees.
DarkKnight9i9 LOL.. chosen Few movies - are good not how you make out to be.. Best Directors like Bhanshali has said SRK is not an actor knows acting (after Devdas).. Dont get me wrong I like Daar, Swades, Yes Boss, Raju Ban gaya Gentlemen, Chak De and Devdas but he still a show piece!
Poverty, Casteism, gender bias, illiteracy has always been there in India. It was not ahead of it's time... It was the movie India needed even if it was released 30 years earlier.... It just didn't worked because it was not promoted well.
@@harpreetparmar2994 That's also a case but content driven movies like Guru, Kaminey etc have worked in the past which were totally unorthodox to the trend. But in case of Swadesh Mr. Gowarikar was highly confident after Lagaan and didn't promoted it well enough.
@@amarpattanayak8860 I think you didn't get the point. It was released at a time when patriotic movies revolved around "India vs it's enemy". It's still ahead of its time, coz people still don't know what patriotism is. Patriotism for them begins and ends with Pakistan.
i ve travelled half of the world and i can say that americans can never ever experience bonding with others like we indians do there is just too much animosity or disregard for others in usa and other western countries , the only country which i felt had a very very strong resect and bonding like india was in japan , in those two countries even strangers are treated and loved like they are a part of our own family
lBeing Osama really it is...try chitthi ayi hai...by pankaj udhas...emotion makes you man...leaving them for money and sex...isn't really cool in deathbed
a lot of people are getting it wrong. this movie is not about missing your homeland. the message is that he is needed much more in his homeland. his skills put him in a position where he can help uplift and develop the rural areas. not to say that everyone who goes to the US or foreign countries for a job should return. but from what I got from this movie , it's about his calling was back in India trying to uplift the rural areas. in the US he was just another scientist working for NASA and arguably doing meaningful work but there are others who could do that job too.. but if he came back, with his skills and his sensitivity he could uplift the rural areas. a lot of people have the skills but not everyone has the sensitivity to suffering. there are many scenes in the movie where srk s character shows sensitivity towards the suffering of the poor rural people that many others including richer rural people were totally insensitive towards.
Mr. P Partially true, He still misses his home, the belongingness is more important in song. 'The smell of the soil, How would you forget it?' The very first line. The song was written as a calling to NRIs that they may have the money and comforts but the bonds of Indianness can never be broken.
@@boonslang6689 box office hit is something related to film content i'm sure even if aamir was hero instead of SRK in this film it won't effect very high.
@@boonslang6689 it's mostly about contents and sometimes by stardum, like Amir khan Secret superstars was a blockbuster or maybe super hit film which was made has fhe budget of 15cr but earn more than 900cr but his Thugs of hindustan was totally flop which has the budget of 200cr+. 3 idiots, Dangal, Taare zameen per and secret superstar this flims are really awesome with great contents that's why he become the most famous indian star in china
Shreya Gupta yep this and many other hindi are beautifully sung by him but I wonder what happened to him when he was on #thekapilsharmashow, he seemed to be uncomfortable in hindi
lol who wants to be in kapil sharma show. kapil sharma show is full of dark comedy and full of silliness. Just give a.r. rahman. couple of singers & band players. He will be back to his comfort zone. A.r. rahman is very independent. You watch coke studio? He did show cased his talent beautifully their. have you seen 2.0 first look launch? even rajanikanth is in different planet and very uncomfortable.
Whenever I watch the little boy selling water at railway Station is hard hitting scene n Srk reaction n expression, there is no word to describe. 100 times I watched still crying
So true. Probably the best scene in the history of Indian cinema (atleast as per me). Jaby should do a reaction video of that scene. Not sure if it will make sense as need to watch the whole movie to understand the context.
@@codmw7040 there are many awesome works of srk like Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa, Darr, Anjaam, Swades, Devdas, My names is Khan, Kal ho na ho so cant everyone has their favourite movies..srk is unmatchable
Only and only AR Rahman Sir can create this kinda magical music and his voice just make me cry every time i listen to this song.. Probably best Patriotic song after his "Maa Tujhe Salam" from Vande Matram... 😭😭
Whenever I feel too proud about myself or feel that I am not getting the world class amenities which 1st world country people does, I watch this movie. It keeps me grounded and makes me realize that this country has provided me way more than what I have done for my motherland. We have a rich culture which is our strong point and No amount of money can buy it :)
Abhishek Bhat true bro, this movie should have came out now and people with the right help of social media and promotions, would have made it a huge success and given all the praise it deserved. Too bad that it came back in 2004 when audience wasn't responsive enough to qualtiy movies. Funny that srk didn't get applauses back then for sucha subtle realistic performance in this film, the time when he actually deserved it, but keeps getting now with over the top performances in mediocre films like a Dilwale or a chennai xprs. Guess its karma!
That's the year where Murder becomes super hit...julie movie is hit...and saif got National award for Hum Tum😏but Swades didn't do well🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
jaby i appreciate ur reaction but honestly its a deep meaning song in hindi and unless u know the language u wont enjoy .. i feel it is childish for people to ask u do this......... movie reactions are fine but a deep meaning hindi song .???... naaa ... great going though hope u ever visit INDIA AND BE AMAZED AT THE PARADOX WE ARE
koi baat nai yaaar paise hi to kama raha hai.... khush hoon main .. jisko jaisi kismet .. gareebo ko lootne se aur corruption, nakli note or logon ko marne se to achaa hi style hai .kamane ka ... cheers jai hind
Living in the United States, Irrespective of how many times I see or hear this song, I get teary eyed!! Every word in the lyrics is something all of us living away from our home country relate to!
m crying right now... its not only about your home but your nation n people the soil... I guess this connection between people n the soil can only be felt by INDIANS
Divya Sasidharan He saw the trailer and called it a rom-com and said he wasn't interested. He's actually been pretty dismissive of most if not all Zoya or Farhan movies.
Lagaan and Swades (meaning Homeland/Native Country) are probably Aamir and Shahrukh Khan's best performances in their respective careers. Same director Ashutosh Gowariker. He has also directed one of Hrithik's best films of his career (Jodha Akbar). He easily would have been the most revered director in mainstream Bollywood if he hadn't made terrible films in the last 5 or 6 years.
"Your motherland is calling you every moment, this bond between is inseparable" This is what this songs means! It makes every Indian (living in any part of the world) very emotional. Thanks @Jaby Koay for reacting on this.
Yash Kumar Singh bc teri q ft rhi h. Jo kr rhe h unko jo acha lgta h. And you idiot don't understand itne log dekhte h to q. They wanna get company to watch something. Jaha jarurt ho waha hindistani bno bhai. Har cheej k fayede v hote h or nuksan v apki ankhe kya dekhti h ye apne bta diya
Jaby there are dialogues which has been muted in this.. And by the way SRK underdid in a few films only and Swades was one of it. y dont you just try seeing this video from TAARE ZAMEEN PAR - MAA.
It's not just that he was missing home. He realised that being a scientist he could actually help his villagers and put his talent to use in his village where everyone loves him and wants him. While he was enjoying all kinds of comforts of living in a big city far away from home, something that he took for granted, things like electricity were something that didn't have till he helped them get it.. and he knows that home is where he is needed... the place close to his heart as well as the place where he can actually make a difference.
I am an abroud living Indian... everytime I watch this I remember my 12 years old child memories I had there while a vacation. I miss you india. I such an unlucky person for living in europe and not beeing there... guys pls be happy you can live in ur own country. I dont even know what my country is... Greetings frm Germany
Jaby, the video is not just about him missing home. It's about him contemplating whether it's right for him to work so hard and live such a lavish life in another country, while his own village in his country is plagued by so many problems. He feels guilty for not using his experience and knowledge to empower people in his home town and to build basic facilities for them.
You have to be INDIAN to 100% feel this song..!!:) .. Something is special about this song. Always makes my eyes watery!!:)) .. Thanks Jaby for reviewing this song and making Republic Day more special:)) .. like# 522 from me
Chuck always nails it with his intelligent and genuine comments.. Always love Chuck giving his reaction.. The three jaby chuck and achara are the best trio
If you want to watch a unique dance number from Bollywood, you have to watch Chhaiya Chhaiya from Dil se.... The entire choreography is on top of a moving train!!! Very unique and fresh, even today...
Can't say he is exactly missing, actually he is thinking that there is so much poverty and underdevelopment and bright brains like him goes abroad because they get good perks, he is thinking of working back for his nation
Ohhh, it's all in the lyrics, trust me its been so many years, I don't cry at this song now but it always goes straight to my heart and chokes me slightly
This vedio shows that most of talented people who are shifted another country doing jobs,but here there native land there people need him for small thing that he could easily do better here.
i am not indian but the i learned from my indian friends about the cast reservation of your country and with all due respect to your country ,its a very stupid and logicless system . The majority of talented people leave your country is because of that stupid system which allows people less talented than them get jobs because of their caste. Now no man would refuse it if they have a better oportunity to get a good job with good salary in abroad if his country has such system.
sorry ,but i just cant find any logic in ensuring one's job judging by his cast not by his talent . how can u justify such a thing ? its pure discrimination to the people who deserve it more but doesnt get the jobs because they dont match the quota !!
Chuck hit the nail on the head with his comments! Jaby honest to admit that while he unserstands the sentiment, he does not feel the same way with his background. Achala very well connected with the sentiment. Good reaction for a song without subtitles!!
ur probably ri8... maybe we hav become so numb to ppl forcing patriotism on us, now we do it to other...I'm sayin this just coz today i had to stand and hear the national anthem even thoughi only wanted to see Raees.
This is one of the best movies of SRK....n jaby....its not only about missing India...this is a movie about how the talent pools of India are sifting abroad and forgetting about the need of the country but once they see n feel the need of the country closer how they realise how badly the country needs them.....love this movie....u should definitely watch it jaby....
you must definitely watch this moviethis will make tears in ur eye ashutosh govarikar is the writer director of this movie who is also writer director of LAGAN and JODHA AKBAR....
This song is AFTER he had returned from India, before that he had NO memories, & no attachment with India, as he had moved out early on in life, but the experiences during this visit made him realize his identity & where he was needed, where his heart & mind in unison wanted to be.
This song makes me swell up from inside everytime i listen to it. One of the most patriotic songs ever still gives me goosebumps!! On a side note, Chuck and Achara are the two best 2 guests on the channel. More so cause Achara reminds me of my ex-girlfriend and Chuck is really a insightful man.
This blast you in tears specially when you are from a small town and now staying in other country...every line is true...in current situation people here say see india is not safe...but there is deep inside me noo...it's safest for me whatever and however the situation is...
I tell you guys, what you are doing is priceless, making the days of a lot of people! Legends say that from India all spiritualities developed, so their music is very spiritual, they got a special music scale, used as well to pray to their gods.... I think that's the reason why Indian music is so appreciated around the entire world.
This movie is like the best movie ever. It is the most inspiring movie I've ever seen in my life! Highly highly recommended. Also if you can see my name is Khan, chak de India, Devdas, veer zara, kuch kuch hota hai and many more
I am a big fan of AR Rahman. He is the guy that changed the quality of sound forever in the Indian music industry beginning at 1992. Before him there was great music but were recorded terribly on tape. Unrecoverable, cant be remastered, THAT bad. All the beautiful sounding music that one hears from India today is because of that one man. Digital Multi-track layering, creative use of synthesizers, sampling sound from almost everything that can make it. Then he won an Oscar. Now i never hear of him again. Friends dont recommend any of his music. Most Indian film music sound like him. Some of us really miss him. :(
The song is actually more than just missing home. It's more about giving back to the place from where you have taken. It's about this man who comes to realise that if he is not able to give back to his own country who actually needs people like him to progress, then what's the point of all that he has and all that he has earned!! There is a subtle reference with America, a very prosperous economy, where most educated and talented India youth serve, leaving behind their own country which actually needs and also deserves their talent for its own progress. However the best part of the movie is, its very emotional and personal narrative which doesn't seem to moral police someone's choice even a bit. It's inspired from a true story and is one of my favourite stories.
Thanks for this reaction video guys.. Sitting in Minneapolis n watching this video n realized how much I miss my home.. You guys are great.. On a funny note, I was watching some old reaction of you n Achara n realized she lost so much weight!!
Srk's character actually grew up in the US though he spent his early childhood in India. He believes that life in US is better and comfortable. He visits India to find his childhood nanny (a mother figure, as he lost his parents in his teens) and convince her to accompany him so that he can take care of her in her old age. But she refuses to leave India. Meanwhile he also falls in love with a girl who despite being in love with him refuses to move away from her motherland. He returns to USA to complete a project but then realizes that the short time that he spent in India ie.his roots, has had a great impact on him and he decides to give up his life in USA and permanently return to India. His friend tells him to stop being emotional and think about his career before making such a decision. So basically it is about the bond he feels to the country and people of his origin.
yes, chuck it was like Gospel and Acharya Ballad too. It has this feeling of calling you and pulling you. Lots and lots of Indian people feel the same about coming and living in USA, but they tie their emotions and put it in a bucket until they get old.
