In keeping with the spirit of Independence Day Abbas and Urjita sit down with entertainment journalist Abhimanyu Mathur to talk about Ashutosh Gowariker's 2004 ode to the nation 'Swades' starring Shah Rukh Khan. Topics discussed include: What made Gowariker tell a personal story on a grand scale? Is Makrand Deshpande this film's "item boy"? What makes Rahman's soundtrack an all time classic? The strong supporting cast, crying our eyes out over THAT train scene, the film's portrayal of caste and privilege and a lot more.
