Saawariya Movie Review

There has been a lot of hype about this movie for quite a long time. I have been thinking what this heck is all about. Its just another Sanjay Leela Bansali movie where there is gonna be emotions, drama and the movie will end with a happy note but the audience will still have tears rolling down their eyes thinking that the movie should have extended a little bit more till the time they feel happy about one of the characters they love.

Adding to it, to my utter surprise the DVD print of this movie is online after just three days of its release. Thats kind of weird but I was happy that afterall I will get to watch this so highly awaited and anticipated movie with a clear full screen view.

Here are some tit bits about the movie:

Movie: Saawariya
Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali (please not the extra 'h' that he has added to bring good luck)
Tagline: When he first fell in love...
Cast:
Ranbir Kapoor as Raj (God knows who the hell is he)
Sonam Kapoor as Sakina (Goddess knows what does she think of herself)
Salman Khan and Rani Mukherjee (Nice and very nice as always)

When I first saw the trailor of the movie few months back, I was under the impression that Salman and Rani are in the main lead and surely this is gonna be a super hit. Not because of Salman but because of the combo of Rani and SLB (yeah Sanjay has changed his name to some freaky initials which took quite a while for me to understand). Later on, when I realized that they are just having a special appearance, half of my interest in it was lost. But then the remaining half interest was so much that it compelled me to surf the internet to look for the lastest and clear print of the movie for 2-3 days continuously. And finally I succeeded in finding one.

So, there it goes.
Movie starts, I am so very excited.
Movie continues, I started chatting with friends and watching the movie simultaneously.
Movie continues till interval, I put on the TV to watch some comedy serials alongwith watching the movie.
Movie reaches climax, I opened winamp and started listening to songs of Linkin Park at high volume.
Movie ends, I dont know what happened in the end because I totally lost track of what was going on in the movie and who the hell cares.

That was my experience and there goes the biggest super duper expensive flop of the year without even catching any of the eyes.

The reasons behind it being a flop what I can think of are:

1. The movie starts in such a set that bores you to the utmost point
2. Every now and then it has got songs in it which you wouldnt even like to lend your ears to. Please let me know if you wanna listen to the songs and I will help you out to literally watch the video songs and that the entire movie. Remove the songs and the effecive length of the movie with dialogues is not gonna be more than 15 mins.
   
3. The lead actor was portrayed as if he is a sexy item bomb, wrapped up in a lungi and showing off. I mean i wonder how many of the guys would like to see those scenes. They should have put a parental guidance in the beginning of the movie that should say "Strictly inappropriate for the people who are straight"
   
4. The girl in the movie was not at all hot from any angle. So, no hope from that side too
   
5. Even before you know whats going on in the movie, you would have completed half of your sleep and dreamt about Kangana Ranaut thrice.

The biggest lesson to be learned is that the name SLB doesnt mean that the movie has to be good and watchable anymore.

Rating: -100000.... out of 10 (yes you read it correct.. thats negative)
Feeback: It sucked, it licked and still I am not pleased. Thats the kind of horribleness it has got.
Advice: Dont at all think of wasting your money and time on it. But yeah if you want to go with your gf/bf for some other reason, i would strongly advice to go for it because you will get a lot of time to do all your stuffs and most probably the entire theatre would be empty. Good luck
