I also felt that 'Saawariya' is not a good film to be released on a festive day as people would want to watch something funner on such days...In spite of that, I think it is doing really well and the reports are just exaggerations...My 2 cents of course...😳

change the endingof the film and release one more time phir dekho...kiya hota hai...

I read somewhere that SLB is planning to remake 'Khamoshi' because he thought it was way ahead of its time. Now as a true fan of 'Khamoshi' I for one would hate to see anyone in place of Manisha Koirala but since the film was not appreciated then he should may be give it a try for all the SLB fans who missed out on Khamoshi.

yup my fav film of slb is khamoshi!👏

I too liked Khamoshi. Manisha was such a good actress. I loved her in Khamoshi and Akele Hum Akele Tum. Wonder what happened to her? I heard she started drinking and that's when everything sliding down for her.

Also Dil Se. She looked so ravishing in some of the scenes like 'diya jale song'.

@Maya: Yes SLB's name is written all over 1942...that is another movie that I can just watch any number of times...I am sure he did more than just assisting and that's why may be VVC did not have him continue as his assitant anymore😆😆😆

😆😆 @highlighted comment.

Actually 1942 was the bone of contention between Farah Khan and SLB. Since Farah was the official choreographer she wanted the dances to be in a certain way and SLB is from classical school of dancing and didn't approve of Farah's acrobatic steps. He, in my opinion, not only ghost-directed the movie but also the dances.

Bhanu Athaiya should have won some award for Costume design.

Ya she was good there too. But I loved her in Khamoshi. She portrayed the character very beautifully.

riya check this! this is wat one person writes abt saawariya!! i feel it is a movie which grows within yu first time yu see yu dnt understand many things bt later it grows within yu check this!i think it is the best interpretation of saawariya!here it is: Ok guys these are my thoughts on Saawariya, Its not exactly a review but what I felt after second viewing, many of the things I never understood in first viewing I got in second viewing. Slb made Rani narrate the story of Saawariya because that was the name given to Raj ( Ranbir) by her and also because otherwise there would have been too much of Ranbir and by this Slb could give the film a fairy tale setting. Now the sets are doused in hues of blue and green because Rani is narrating the story of Raj who is a Saawariya ( meaning Lord Krishna)who gives people what they have yearned for their entire lives. He gives Rani the respect she never had, Zohra the son she longed for etc. Now Saawariya is the story of Raj, all other characters take secondary importance to him. It is a love story alright but not of Raj-Sakina but it is about Raj's innocent love for Sakina and Sakina's innocent love for Imaan. Since Rani is narrating the story, she only knows things which Raj has told her. Now what is shown of Sakina in the film is how Raj had described Sakina to Gulab, who is she, what she does is not important here and Gulab anyway wouldn't know that because Raj had told her nothing about it. This is how she saw Sakina through Raj's eyes. About Imaan, again Rani had never met him, so she knew Imaan only through Raj and Raj knew him through Sakina and interpreted Imaan to be a kind of an illusion, as in Sakina chasing a dream, so that is what Imaan is to Gulab as well, now what he does??, where he goes??, why he returns after a year?? etc maybe Sakina knew but Raj never asked any of this to her, so it wasn't shown. About the Climax,it had to be the way it is because that is all that Gulab knows, about whether Sakina felt anything during the climax, Rani does not know, hence we donot get it as viewers. The screenplay was perfect.It doesn't have a shoot out or car chase or Holi dance every ten minutes, nor do its characters get into fights or arguments with each other every five minutes, nor are there external obstacles placed in the characters' way -- these are probably all the reasons why people keep saying "there is no story." There is plenty of story, and it was very well told. There is an emotional arc to the story, as well as to the characters. What people complain of as "darkness" is really just again the Hollywood style of lighting, which is used to highlight the character's faces and emotions, and to reflect the mood of the story. In contrast, Bollywood lighting is almost always overbright compared to Hollywood films, because they are so intent on showing off the set decorations, the costumes, the jewelery, etc. of the stars, as all these things are looked for and copied by the audience. But Saawariya is a far less commercialized and consumerist oriented film. It is pure art, where everything is subordinate to the story and characters. It was obviously designed as a vehicle for Ranbir, much as KHNPH was designed as Hrithik's vehicle. On the whole Ranbir carried it off well. I also thought Sonam did equally well in the acting department, though she had a smaller character to work with. Far from alternately giggling or crying (as one unkind reviewer put it), she exhibited a range of emotions, and was consistent throughout in her characterization. I never had a doubt about what she was feeling toward Ranbir, so that the ending was no big surprise for me. For now, let me just say that, when SLB said this was a story of innocent love, he was talking of the love felt by Ranbir's character, not anyone else. In a nutshell Saawariya is a film open to interpretation, it is what you make of it.
