Swami is a romance drama film directed by Basu Chatterjee. The film stars Late Girish Karnad, Shabana Azmi, Vikram, Late Sudha Shivpuri, Late Shashikala and late Utpal Dutt.

Saudamini falls in love with Narendra but her family gets her married to Ghanshyam. Later, as she tries to adjust to her new house and troublesome in-laws, she finds a confidante in her husband.

One of the most satisfying film i have seen. The best part of the film is that the film looks very natural and realistic and is far away from that typical loud masala films which was very much prevalent at that in Hindi cinema.

The treatment toward step son by his step mother in which the mother who although doesn't like his step son but still speaks with him in a very sugar coated way as step son is not only the eldest but also the most earning member of the family and this looks very realistic.

Acting is superb and both Shabana Azmi and Girish Karnad were marvelous in their respective roles. Utpal Dutt was also equally impressive. Rest all the characters were also good.

Screenplay of the film is good and songs of the film is superb. The BGM of the film is also very nice and the climax gives a befitting end to the film.

A must watch film if you are willing to watch some very realistic film.
