The Village Builds It

In Swades (2004), directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Shah Rukh Khan plays Mohan. He sets out to help the village of Charanpur, which suffers from “inconsistent electricity and frequent blackouts.” Mohan plans a small hydroelectric plant. In Wikipedia’s summary, he pays for the equipment himself and “mobilizes the divided villagers to collectively construct a water reservoir and turbine system.”
