It takes a Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make even potholes and dusting carpets look so alluring, so poetic, you would hope in all sincerity that you walk on roads pockmarked with potholes and switch professions to dust Persian carpets at least part time! %u2018Saawariya%u2019 shimmers from within: gorgeous sets in turquoise and emerald seem so beautiful because they blend with a story told with heart-aching beauty. It is one of those movies that is not about the story itself; it is about the experience of characters within a given framework of time and destiny. And given this premise, Sanjay does a phenomenal job as a storyteller. Each moment in the film is like tender pollen, and watching them bunch together to create a beautiful flower is a sheer pleasure that no lover of cinema should miss. Lights have been used well to bring alive the sets that captivate you for the genius with which different shades of blue and green have been used to create eye candy that never looks monotonous. The music is mellifluous and songs are used to deftly map the story. The dialog %u2013 by Sanjay%u2019s favorite Prakash Kapadia %u2013 uses a nifty combination of poetry and casual to create thoughts that hit you straight in the heart. Ranbir Kapoor is a brilliant performer with a simmering screen presence. His expressive eyes and ability to suffuse energy into the simplest of scenes are what I loved about him. In the last scene, where his tear drench his heartbreakingly sad smile, live in your heart for long after the cur
2 words for Sawariya...FANTASTIC AND FABOLOUS..awesome make from SLB. what else can u expect from SLB? i have read people's reviews about it n i dont understand what they will b happy with. do they still look for main-tera-khoon-pi-jaonga or main-tumhare-bache-ki-maa-banne-wali-hoon type masala. every single performance, every bit of film is so nicely detailed,controlled and well made that u will have to love it. its a different wrk n thats what i think we want...a change, smthing new.only people can like this who really have that level of understanding the cinema. i dont mean to say that i m "something" but yes i can judge whats good n whats bad......Ranbir and Sanjay Bhansali...dont worry ...we the audience is with you...kick these critics and media...ausience verdict is final and we are with you and your sawariya , you have made the best movie of bollywood,

yes thanks for such a excellent feedback sawariya is a great movie, its a classic of lifetime, ranbir kapoor is the next superstar
It's different and that makes it must watch. Many negatives like no powerful script, no dramatic climax and many ves. I viewed as if i was watching a Fairy Tale. very good light arrangements. very good photography. very good acting. different feeling alltogether.
I really loved the movie. True, it isn't as good as the other SLB movies, but it is a true musical romance movie. The songs are awesome and placed in perfeectly, the characters were very well defined and each had their own place in the story. Overall, it is NOT a typical Bollywood masala movie, but more of a classical romantic movie just like a fairy tale sanjay leela bhansali si the best director
Simply Superb...Sawariya is memorable and outstanding movie...excellent movie...sanjay leela bhansali made every indian proud...he prooved that even bollywood can make better movies thn hollywood...i wanna kiss ur hands for making such a beautiful movie...dont listen to taran adarsh or any other critic ..go n watch this movie...u will fall in love with the magical world of sawariya...its not like shit b grade movie om shanti om..om shanti om is for those who likes b grade movie like champabai..or other kanti shah's movie..farah khan has made a disaster called om shanti om..becuz of directors like farah khan n actors like srk n movies like om shanti om..ppl abroad make fun of bollywood...oso is crap...watch sawariya ..10 out of 10 for saawariya..ranbir kapoor ..u r the next superstar
This man: raja worst critic ever, does not deserve space at rediff.com. He is poor reviewer and agent of srk, who gave 3.5 score to OSO, which too not deserve 3.5 .Raja is hopeless,he seems to like Taran Adarsh and tries to copy him, who does not have his own thoughts; so, rediff please make a change, bring a good reviewer who can see both faces of the coin.

Somehow i doubt your prophesy. Lolz.. Can you please elucidate how you have classified SAAWARIYA as 'totally rubbish'??? And also explain what is a 'not rubbish' film in your opinion
Awesome,A thorough entertainer, Dis guy SLB has d Guts to make such a movie and succeed. EveryBody in d packed movie Hall was awestruck and had all d praises for d movie. Guys just watch out Sonam's charm ,the scene where is has an encounter wid Ranbir, Gals watch out for Ranbir's toned and butted charm. GrandMas and GrandPas you'll adore ZOHRA, Dos in dere sweet 30's or 40's Rani Mukherjee and Salman is a Delight. So ALL in ALL 10 out of 10 to sawariya.....ranbir is fantabolous.
