Swadesh

The freewebcounter which I have used to log the visitors on my web page tells me that Ashutosh Gowarikar's Swadesh is one of the most widely searched keywords at the search engines. So people, including me, are very much looking forward to the movie.

But as far as the promos are concerned, they are a bit dampener. The movie is supposedly is based in early 1940s. But looking at the Aircrafts, Buses, Bajaj-MATs, Shaurkh's jeans and neatly ironed shirts - it doesn't seem to belong there. Probably, Ashutosh is missing Amir, and his attention to details.

The least they could do is perform better editing at promos level, so that they don't look loose as they are looking now. Otherwise, movie might loose the battle even before the release. He must know that most of the movies flop either at writer's or at editor's desk.
