Saawariya- Two thumbs up :)
By Aachi Mithin - 2:03 AM Sunday 11 November 2007
You might wonder what a die hard Shah Rukh Fan like me is doing by writing a review of Saawariya and not Om Shanti Om,...for doesnt it mean that I ended up watching the former first?
Yes it does.
And I have my reasons.
'Reason' would be more appropriate.
I fell in love with Saawariya's music. I wanted to watch it on the big screen with lavish sets of Bhansali. I craved to see the aesthetic effect that the shahnai would have on my mind as it played an eternal tune of joy and sadness in a world bathed in blue light. I yearned to drink the soft tunes of innocent love as they poured out from the breathtaking canvas.
I expected it to be heavenly. Nay...beyond heaven.
And I wasnt disappointed.
In fact I was gifted with a bonus.
Not only the music is beautiful, but the surreal world with blue hue, the sets with walls painted with fantastic art and a corner illuminated by the statue of a Buddha head, the simple scene of the female lead dusting the carpets to the hero expresing his love for the first time...everything is pure poetry.
The story is simple and one can guess the ending pretty
easily. But the journey to the end is beautful and the characters are pleasing.
Every actor fills their part with sincere effort, with Ranbir and Rani standing out.
Though I have seen the negative feedback everyone is giving for the movie I liked Saawariya.
It is soft, poetic and a piece of Art in its own way.
There is something about movies with unfulfilled love. They touch the chord in the softest part of the heart.
Saawariya is one such.
Forget prejudice and go and enjoy the soft romance.
It is a picture for all those who have romance in their hearts and beauty in their minds.
:)
lots of love.

Hey Anusheh you are right. A girlfriend of mine also walked out of the movie before interval time!
Aachi I've got to check out the movie. But I think right now I'm in the mood for some really masala Bollywood movie (read On Sahnti Om).
Yes many poele have been saying that the sets of the movie are very beautiful.

Dearest Aachi
I know two men (includes you) who thought the movie was really nice and two women who thought it was the most boring film ever...one ended up sleeping through it and one walked out. So I'm beginning to wonder about the gender perspective on this film. Maybe I'll see it just to figure this out:-)
