Lagaan or Swades: Which is more classic film? - Page 2

Lagaan was more commercial and had more of those dhamakedaar moments which are important for a film to do well. It was a masala film.

Swades was made with a lot of heart. There's depth and there's a lot of retrospection that both the audience as well as the characters in the film go through. It stays with you for a long time and that's the signature of a classic film.

This, Swades was inspired from real life incident and you can easily connect to it. It's more realistic to connect to. ♥♥

One scene >>>>>> Every BW movie....

Lagaan stays with you for the longest time, brilliant story, brilliant acting, brilliant music and super repeat value-its everything a classic is supposed to be.

Swades, not so much!

Swades because lagan the match was like fairytale but swades showed the reality

Aamir likes to do this perfect guy with no faults in his movies. Gets on your nerves after a while.

Swades was infinitely more relatable.

This place is scaling new heights in worshipping.

Some I have. I was choosing not to argue the point, but I do find the presentation of Amir's characters in say, Dangal, as perfect (might not be the right word). There is little nuance like say a father living vicariously through children and not really respecting their wishes. Not talking of the real person here since I don't know his story. The movie character was portrayed as nearly a saint for giving his daughters a chance. Well... there were other ways to give them a chance, too, ways which didn't involve forcing them into something they didn't want. Once again, not judging what happens in real life. Only the movie.
