Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Film within the film

During the film, the village watches an "old Bollywood film" at the open-air cinema. I assume this was a parody rather than a real film, but I missed most of this scene when I saw Swades and don't have the DVD. Can someone explain this a little? Perhaps it should be mentioned in the synopsis. ProhibitOnions 10:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

That was Yaadon ki Baarat, in which Aamir Khan appears as a little boy who raises one finger as a sign that he needs to go to the bathroom and "Number One". His first film appearance, as a child artiste. I couldn't help but feel that the director was poking a bit of fun at his former collaborator on Lagaan. Zora 10:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense! Thanks, Zora! Would you like to add this to the article? It's quite an interesting detail. Regards, ProhibitOnions 11:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
