MCT:July 25, 2008Ranbir Kapoor was charming in his upbeat role. As for Sonam Kapoor, she was so wooden and dull. But Rani Mukerjii stole the show in her role as a prostitute, loved her saucy flair.
Overall, a fabulous fantasy from Sanjay Leela Bhansali with a great theatrical feel. -

This is a beautiful story. She is waiting for her love to return to her as he promised he would and meets another man who wants her love but can never have it. The ending is bittersweet and makes me cry alittle.

MCT:July 15, 2008I think the reason this movie was not big in South Asia is because it was based on a more European story.
I think the target audience for this movie are people who are into literature. And this movie is based on a Russian story. It is about love. You don't really see Bollywood movies like that anymore.
But this movie is made from a true artist. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a director who looks at the beautiful side of life. His movies are fascinating and the effects in them are mesmerizing.
This movie is an absolute beauty in my eyes. And I recommend it. -
MCT:July 9, 2008This is a movie that has you captivated with complete interest from beginning to end. Although the story plot dwindles a bit, it's the characters that strikes a most mesmerizing effect. The cinematography is also amazing. Great music! Great cast. Zohra Sehgal truly shines once again. Definitely worthy.

MCT:June 17, 2008I really wanted to see this film. what a disappointment. You think it is going to be some visual masterpiece with great songs, instead you get okay visuals with so-so songs. I could not remember one song from this film, that is a bad sign, in musicals the music is the life of the story and this film had no life. With such a fantastical story you think the director could have captured some of that.

The trailer made it look like the Bollywood version of Moulin Rouge... but boy was I wrong. The story dragged like no other bc the main female character couldn't make up her mind between two guys. Unfair to the guy who is right next to her, serenading her with love songs, and ridiculous of the other guy to keep her waiting all those years. But I guess human nature being what it is, that's the advantage of better-looking people- they get to weigh their options. My favorite character was the supporting role of the prostitute friend bc she actually had some character due to her less-than-ideal lifestyle.

I've never seen such a bilingual film!
It was ok, a nice little musical but too long for my taste and not the best story.
Now, the cinematography I loved, it was beautiful.
Not a movie you should run to watch unless there really is nothing better to see. -

Stunning, visual masterpiece, with a touching story. But the ending leaves you a little wanting. Although, I think it was the best way for things to turn out, it wasnt done as smoothly as the rest. Still excellent.

Amusing Bollywood musical. It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cheesy. So if cheese is not to your taste when to comes to movies...avoid this film. I have to admit...I also pissed myself laughing when Ranbir Kapoor sang in a towel...thrusting hips and doing the "open towel when back is to camera" dance/singing number. His wink to the camera was a bit over the top as well. The production design, set designs, and style of cinematography is beautiful in this film. But, if singing at random, subtitles, and cheesiness are not your thing, avoid it.

Charming introduction to Bollywood films, this is the first backed by an American studio for distribution throughout the U.S. With strong production values, the musical and dance sequences highlight this melodramatic love fairy tale.

MCT:May 4, 2008A terrible movie for those who loved atleast one of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films like me.. this movie was far from classics like hum dil de chuke sanam. Around 1 in every 50 reviews of this movie was positive and believe me, the negative ones are right!!!!! Just three words of advice, DON'T WATCH IT!

MCT:January 5, 2008The Good:
- Sets
- Lighting
- both newcomers pulled it out good
The Bad:
- After watching the first 5 mins, I realized that it was a bad attempt by Sanjay. He is stuck with similar kind of settings, lighting and even character building.
- Bad plot, too poetic with very predictable ending and below average storyline.
- mediocre character building
- Rani didn't perform to her standard
- Too similar to Sanjay's previous movies. -

Beautiful Sets, Music and Ranbir Kapoor Shines; Somewhat Weak Plot-One of most anticipated films of the year for Bollywood was a hit with critics but a bit unimpressive with a chunkful of viewers. My personal opinion? The movie was carried by the stunning beauty of the landscapes and sets with the ethereal vibe of director Bhansali's imagination coming to life onscreen. The music was also a critical factor in making the movie work-- and it delivered and exceeded expectations. Most of the musical numbers in Saawariya are catchy and engrossing even to a non-Hindi speaker such as myself. Finally, let's not forget the gorgeous and talented cast. Ranbir Kapoor throughly impresses in his debut, a natural onscreen and in the dance sequences. His little ditty with his bath towel had me momentarily forgetting that I was missing the first showing of Shahrukh Khan's new movie(wasn't playing in my area that day). Ranbir was a little weird for breif moments in the film but would recover from them quickly and made me love him anyways. Sonam was flawlesly beautiful but her lack of experience showed more next to Ranbir. Rani Mukerjee was flawless and proved a boatload of critics wrong by bouncing back from her Laaga Chunari Mein Daag role ("See guys? I CAN play a prostitute!" is what she is probably saying now)

The story is based on a fiction place and the story is taking place during night time!!?!! There have been extensively use of theatrical elements in the movie, such as the focus on background sets and songs almost every minute. The use of theatrical elements worked in JAAN-E-MANN, but not here, because Jaan-e-mann succeeded in balancing between such effects and real life elements. In Saawariya, it is just too much theatre, which can irritate the movie watcher a lot. The music wasn?t so inspiring either.
Ranbir Kapoor has done a good job as an actor, but unfortunately, it seems like that it wasn?t the best career start. Especially if you look at it in terms of the numbers at box office, were the revenues started to decrease after some days of the film?s release. -

SLB isn't a director, he is a magician !!
This movie is such beautiful, the setting, so poetic, so eery.... The story is simple and pure.
The songs, don't tell me about them, they are mindblowing !!
Now my revelation, okay i am already a fan.... RANBIR KAPOOR.... excellent acting and facial expressions, great body and a so cute face.... great dancing.... I say YES immediately !!!
Sonam Kapoor did a great job for her first attempt, she looked really beautiful, as the setting...
Rani Mukherjee and Salman Khan added such perfect solidity to the movie, i am really grateful to them.
Once more !!! -
MCT:November 17, 2007
I liked the movie. although it was difficult to understand the flow of story in the first half of the movie. but eventually its understandable to me and good.
