Despite his success, critics and others have often criticized Shahrukh for sticking to "safe" romantic roles (such as the ones he portrays in all of Karan Johar's films). Swades, however, silenced many of these dissenting opinions; it featured Shahrukh in a low-key and understated performance that was in utter contrast to his previous efforts.
