Memorable, crazy movie

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Saawariya is a romance film of bollywood produced and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This film is based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story & White Nights The film marks the debut of both the lead actors; Ranbir Kapoor son of actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, and Sonam Kapoor, daughter of actor Anil Kapoor.The story is narrated by Gulabji a prostitute who frequents RK Bar. this view was just awesome. After this,The bar lead singer, Raj whom she affectionately calls Saawariya was a kindhearted guy.The theme of the story is good.Emotional scenes of this movie was wonderful. mid part of the movie was just amazing according to the story.The end part of the movie as a tribute to Raj Kapoor, where Raj walks and sings in a style similar to Kapoor from the film Shree.Music of movie was average.Finally i rated this movie with 6 stars.

I was truly mesmerized after watching this film last night, though many of my friends warned me not to and i can understand why. The movie doesn't typically have the qualities of a bollywood film( i mean great stunts, thumpy songs may be few stunts), its slow, sometimes repetitive and emotional.Its about a happy young man Raj and his falling in love with Sakina, who is waiting for her love Iman(Salman Khan) to return on the day of Id. Quite a simple story. Whats magical about the film is the way SLB(Sanjay Leela Bhansali) created the characters, their behaviors u can't help but get connected. The movie is not like a wild river which will blow you away, its more like a silent stream which slowly soothes you.Ranbir kapoor really didn't appear to be acting for the first time. He is natural. Sonam kapoor impresses too. The art direction and the cinematography has to credited more than other departments in the film. The film really is just like reading a beautiful poem(if only u r interested in reading one).And movie is totally backed up by the excellent music both in background and in songs by Monty.May be the director could have avoided few dance sequences which seemed as if forced into movie but most of them are well choreographed and well performed.Finally i will say that this movie is not for the people who are looking for passing the time or just coming to the hall for few laughs and masala.

I have seen many musical-like movies in my time. And after just seeing "RENT" which I did NOT like, I was a little worried about what I was about to endure.Well I am happy to report that I really enjoyed this movie.First of all, it is beautiful to look at. And Sanika is just plain fine to look at. :) The songs weren't great, but they were decent. The story was very good, and I enjoyed the characters, especially Raj. Once thing that was weird was how they would mix Hindu language and English. There were some cheesy moments, but nothing too bad.So basically unlike "RENT" were there were many times I just wanted to stop watching it, for Saawariya that was not the case.I recommend everyone to watch this. I really enjoyed it.

Sometimes a film is so so bad, it actually makes you angry while you watch it, and even more so as you're forced to think about it afterward. Where this film went wrong would take too long to note, but the lead actor should find another career. His posturing and caricature of a true film hero was laughable and pathetic. What a waste of Rani Mukerjee, and as for Salman Khan, well, his career continues a steady downward spiral.B'wood is full of films these days starring the sons and daughters of the last generation. This can work out with great success: think Bachhan and Roshan for example. While the female lead, Anil Kapoor's daughter has a future in the Indian film industry, Rishi Kapoor's son Ranbir, should be put on medication following his manic and disturbing attempt at acting.
