Yuhi Chala Chal Sathi
Dekho Na song from Swades
Watch these two scenes from Swades. The Recreational Vehicle that Shah Rukh drives in Dekho Na is a right hand drive recreational vehicle. In the other song (Yuhi Chala Chal Sathi), the RV alternates between being a right hand drive and a left hand drive. Each of these shots, where the RV alternates has a shot of the wheel, from the respective side before it.
On the face of it, such an error would be very difficult to make – it would require 2 RV’s, or some video editing involving mirror of some of the shots. The RV is a right hand drive.
The only other explanation is that this is some subtle symbolism about the USA and India….. Shah Rukh Khan and India. Such symbolism would seem to be contrived, especially in the context of the rest of the film, which is full of some very penetrative metaphors.
Food for thought then…….
