I am a huge Bollywood fan,and so this films attempt to "cross" and be a mainstream flick was disappointing.Not that the acting was really bad or anything.It's just the film almost seems forced.Like a "we must make this film work" and well it didn't really.The story is good,the music is as well.The acting a little on the cheese,but I've seen worse.I just think maybe with a little more thought and effort the film would have done better then the bomb it was.Or maybe it's just the attempt at all to "cross".Why ruin a good thing that works perfect? Bollywood should stay Bollywood.Why does anyone want to Americanize India anymore then she already is? Most the movies already are emerging into franchise supported ad campeigns...making what I loved in Bollywood films,India,look more like America.Which on so many levels is just wrong.I love to see India for India not American assimulation.Do we Americans really have to touch everything? Ruin everything we come in contact with.But I seem to be the only one who wants Bollywood films to be Indian.The film is worth watching in any case.This was just one opinion.Read full review
I bought this DVD because I read so many positive reviews of the movie. None of those reviews, however, mentioned that the story takes place in a red light district and is narrated by a prostitute who spends her free time drinking alcohol in a bar. This was not the type of movie I wanted to watch with my mother, and she soon tired of it and went to bed. I, unlike my mother, stuck it out and viewed the entire movie. We are both Salman Khan fans, but his character was absent much of the movie. Even when Salu was there I was rooting for the other guy, which proved futile in the end. Liked: The acting wasn't bad, the stars were good looking, the costumes were OK, and some of the music was good enough to stick with me for a while. Disliked: The blue fantasy sets were just a little too unreal for me, but mostly I think I just didn't care for the place or the plot. If I had known about those two items, I would not have bought the movie. I would have been a few bucks ahead, and I wouldn't have missed all that much. I didn't "love" anything at all about Saawariya. This movie is not a keeper, in my opinion.Read full review
I originally watched Saawariya on Pay Per View and fell in love with it - only my second "Bollywood" movie - Bride and Prejudice the first and others followed now. While dance scenes were not as spectacular as other movies, meaning cast members in the scenes, they were excellent. The male star, Ranbir Kapoor is new and really steals the movie. Ladies, be ready to hit the rewind button when he does his sexy video. One of the Indian reviewers said he was one to watch in the future! It's a light, pleasant movie and one you will watch over and over. I even bought the CD - music is great!! Don't miss this one.
Is as much a story about the magical town that surrounds the actors as it is about the characters themselves.It becomes both “everywhere” and “nowhere” within India.This is one of those films that will take you to the magical world that exists within director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s fevered mind. It’s a love story taken to another level. Unrequited love never looked or felt so good. The film is spellbinding, heartwarming, and yes, heartbreaking as well.
Very sweet romantic movie even though it is somewhat predictable. You can never go wrong with a Rani Mukerjee film.
