"Thousands of Bollywood songs are shot with madcap little unreal backdrops; Bhansali has just used one of those for his entire film"
well what are bollywood films if not 'unreal'? so what if a whole movie was shot before an 'unreal' backdrop? isnt it consistent with the 'unrealness' of Bollywood? the grandeur, the lavishness, the musicals?
"in a stylised world impossible to relate to.." so how many bollywood movies do we relate to every day? how many characters, sets, plots or backdrops? the song sequences? Bollywood movies arent meant to depict reality. they are a piece of escapism for those who wish to indulge.
and i would say the whole aestehtic of the film was to portray that very sense of surrealism, sense of other-world, a poetry, and the subtlety comes in your own interpretation of the cinematography and art be it blue or not, the architecture, whimsical or not and the dozen or so songs, impeding the narrative or not (arent the songs meant to propel the narrative? i thought they did so)
I guess if we wanted reality or 'subtlety' we'd go see Om Shanti Om now wouldn't we? ;)
I didnt go to see a plot unfold, or a spectacular never-heard before story to launch, knowing very well it was an SLB creation I went for

"rapes a love story" ?? you mean to say other BOLLYWOOD movies sanctify Love/Love Stories?.
Whether you like it or not, SAAWARIYA is a CLASSIC
Sawariya is utter waste of time and effort in making and time and money in watching. It is worst movie of the year/decade/century and this is a record that is unbreakable. The only way to prevent such movies to reach the theatres is to introduce censorship on boring movies. After all, we do not deserve this.

When and in which century did you last see a Bollywood movie? You ought to be quite old since you have arrived at the conclusion to term a masterpiece as worst movie ever. I get it. Blame your old age & your weak eyesight. Not the movie
The only thing I would like to add is that... Even Devdas met with similar (though in a milder degree) response by the public to start with.. Its not SLB's best.. but definitely a fine creation.. Lets put it like this.. Its a starter in Bollywood.. and when films like this will be appreciated, people will remember and hail it..
u will love sawariya....i wanna kiss the hands of sanjay leela bhansali...mr bhansali u hv made sych a great movie....thanks a lottttttttttt...thnx a ton....we love u SLB.....Ranbir Kapoor...Ranbir is arguably the most prized discovery of Indian cinema since Hrithik Roshan---he is brilliant...he is superb...fantastic....ecellent...awesome....sonam kapoor is so so.....but hats off to sanjay leela bhansali n ranbeer....i cant believe thhis..even bollywood can make better movies them hollywood....dont believe my words--go n watch sawriya...u will fall in love with his movie...Sawariya is a celebration of love...the movie is just like a fairy tale....muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah to everyone associated with his movie....sawariya....ohhh doli main bitha ke sitaaron se saja ke...le jaayega....fabolous movie...

Kudos to SLB - he's made a bold attempt to reach out to a matured audience by making this film- Saawariya traces its origin from the likes of Moulin Rouge and Chicago- its a musical film- though the movie is dark and slow for some- with exceptional performances by Ranbir and Sonam- the movie has all the charms of a fairy-tale - a happy-go-lucky-music loving guy falling in love with a sweet looking girl yearning for her love to return- the music is ever pleasing to the ears too....all in all a great film
