        Simply put, in Context, what acting is!

        Bravo to Govinda and to Late Rajesh Khanna. These days we salivate to watch a dynamic duo of this calibre. Yesteryears is when one was actually putting out a performance compared to now which is all about glamour and most of all very little of acting, or rather with any substance, if any.

        David Dhawan First Hit And Kakkas last Hit

        David Dhavan first hit and Rajesh Khannas last Hit. One of the most emotional Films in Bollywood must watch if you like clean family drama with emotional scenes and dialogues y Rajesh khanna, Govinda and Juhi chawla it also feature one of the hit songs from this movie (kaise kattey din kaise Kati raatein) sung by Mohd Aziz and anuradha must watch it's available with English subtitles on amazon prime and YouTube..

        Great remake of Sabih Jee

        Swarg is very good movie and is a remake of a Pakistani movie named Sahib Jee. The actors have done exceptional job especially Rajesh Khanna and Govinda. Dialogues are fantastic and will be memorable for long long time, though they are heavily inspired and very close to the original. The only thing I dislike about the movie(most Bollywood movies actually) was the annoying and unnecessary songs

        Usual Melodrama

        Swarg was director David Dhawan's first hit. It was reported that initially Rajesh Khanna was hesitant to wear a wig for the role but later agreed.

        It is the usual tale of a family getting divided & getting united by the servant. It is surprising that such a wealthy businessman becomes bankrupt when his factory is consigned to flames. Did he not insure the firm? However, logic in commercial cinema is usually not considered.

        The film is a clean family entertainer with tear jerking scenes which appealed to the family audiences, particularly ladies. Madhavi & Juhi Chawla look beautiful & have done well.

        Rajesh Khanna gives a matured performance which is only expected from an actor of his stature. But the scene stealer is Givinda who has given a memorable performance be it in comedy timing, dancing or melodrama.

        Rajesh Khanna goes practically missing in the 2nd half, surfacing only towards the climax.

        The songs are good, not great & other production values are OK.

        The film was a hit mainly because it drew in the family audiences to the theatres.

        Govinda is fantastic

        I must have watched Swarg a hundred time without getting bored. Rajesh Khannas performance as usual fantastic, however I think Govinda stole the show for me. The scene where Govinda is accused of robbery and told to leave, has left an everlasting memory which I can't forget. And I haven't seen the film since 1993. I don't know, it maybe just me but I had a tear in my eye. Govinda has since been one of my favourite actors; however, his recent films have not done justice to his acting ability.

        The overall story will not be remembered as a classic as this type of stories have been done a lot of times before, nevertheless I'd still watch it for Govinda's and Rejesh Khanna's performances.

        6/10
