The title "Swades" literally translates to "Our Land" in Hindi. The drama, based on a true story, is about an Indian man raised abroad who comes to India to see what the country is really about. The deep love he finds for his country truly tugs at the heart strings, which makes this a great one for any child of Indian immigrants to watch with their parents. I've watched my parents watch this one with pride several times, and there's no better time to honour the roots of their homeland than on Diwali.
