EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Swami is a film which has simplicity labelled all over it. The story is the real hero of this film rather than the actors. Choreographer turned director Ganesh Acharya has chosen a subject which many film makers do not dare to think about in today’s world of glossy cinema. The film stars competent actors like Manoj Bajpai, Juhi Chawla, newcomer Maninder, Neha Pendse and child artiste Siddarth.
Swami is a lovable film and a rare subject to begin one’s film making career. Likewise, Swami is not mind-blowing, especially in the second half where the director’s vision and screenplay looks restricted in many aspects. Visually the film has been given a non glamourous look. Swami’s simplicity may also work against it. The film’s business largely depends on the publicity through the word of mouth.
The story revolves around Swami (Manoj Bajpai) and his family which includes wife Radha (Juhi Chawla) and kid Siddarth. They shift to Mumbai after selling their ancestral home. They manage to get their son admitted in a high profile school where the rich people send their children for education.
