EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, apart from his unique style of film making is also making a mark by avoiding happy endings for his flicks.

The film has no story to tell, and behaves as hopeless platform for the emerging talents like Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor.Probably the only person who will be happy after Saawariya will be Ram Gopal Varma, who will get some stiff competition from the underperformed Sanjay Leela Bhansali. For me, its not Om Shanti Om Vs Saawariya anymore, rather it is Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag Vs Saawariya.

Saawariya lacks content. The plot is deprived of a storyline which stands out as a sore thumb in the visualistic image of the film. The film represents a musical drama than a motion picture. Dark backlight, monotned thematic colour of green and blue, long curtains, traditional wardrobes, and ten songs fill up the frames of Saawariya.

Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has lost out on making a Bollywood adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s “White Nights”, which stood out for its Russian feel and rawness. The story begins with a husky narration from Gulab (Rani Mukherjee), a sex worker toiling her way around a red light area. Gulab gets instantly obsessed with Raj (Ranbir Kapoor), a newcomer in that area. Gulab finds an instant liking for Raj but keeps it only till friendship.

Raj finds a place in everyone’s heart in that street, except for a place to stay. Gulab comes to his rescue and finds him a place in Lollipop’s (Zohra Sehgal) house, an old lady who misses her son.

  5. ok……. i liked this movie a lot…… i dont get why people are saying that it was a waste of money….. there have been so many movies like om shanti om….. we’re all bored of the same thing….. now SLB made a different film but people didn’t appreciate it because it was different…. and more realistic…. i liked it so that’s all that matters to me and om shanti om was boring! it was a waste of time and money…….. nobody returns to the same place in their next life with the same face!

  19. 100% bullshit film, you better watch RGV’s AAG than this kind of a film.
    This is no art, this is stealing peoples money. I went to see it in the theatre,half of the audience left the film unwatched.
