In the 157th minute of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Swades (2004), something peculiar happens. Gita (Gayatri Joshi) walks up to Mohan (Shah Rukh Khan) as he’s working. She calls out to him, but he barely registers. So, she leans into his RV, her gaze fixed, as she says, ‘Mohan, I think I’ve fallen in love with you.’ Mohan nods and smiles vacantly, only realising what she’s saying a moment later.
