Swarg was director David Dhawan's first hit. It was reported that initially Rajesh Khanna was hesitant to wear a wig for the role but later agreed.
It is the usual tale of a family getting divided & getting united by the servant. It is surprising that such a wealthy businessman becomes bankrupt when his factory is consigned to flames. Did he not insure the firm? However, logic in commercial cinema is usually not considered.
The film is a clean family entertainer with tear jerking scenes which appealed to the family audiences, particularly ladies. Madhavi & Juhi Chawla look beautiful & have done well.
Rajesh Khanna gives a matured performance which is only expected from an actor of his stature. But the scene stealer is Givinda who has given a memorable performance be it in comedy timing, dancing or melodrama.
Rajesh Khanna goes practically missing in the 2nd half, surfacing only towards the climax.
The songs are good, not great & other production values are OK.
The film was a hit mainly because it drew in the family audiences to the theatres.
