A change in the horizon?

I normally don't find a liking to Indian films. Truth be told, the last film I took a liking to was "Agnipath" and that was in the 80s. However, SWADES is a film that really impressed me; moreso because it wasn't exaggerated like most indian movies tend to be. What was also very refreshing was the fact that it had a compelling message, addressed the caste system head-on, and had one of the most natural acting I've seen for a long time.

And yes, it did help that one of the most gorgeous females I've seen played the lead role. Mind you, I seem to overdiscriminate most of the time, but in this case this has to be said. Gayatri Joshi represents true beauty the way I see it; simplistic and tradionationally oriented. Its a shame progressive societies denegrate ideals which have been adopted for centuries.

If you are the conversative right wing talk show host; you'd blame it on liberals.
