Shah Rukh Khan's diverse roles

Swades Why this film failed to work is a mystery. Although a tad too long, it shows SRK as a NASA scientist who leaves his prestigious job to return to India and work for the society at the grassroots level. As the scientist-turned-social worker, SRK came up with a fine performance in which he entirely shed the trappings of megastardom. The failure of this film shocked the daylights out of us.
