This movie has taken the concept of Eiyarkai an award winning tamil movie.
I personally feel the tamil version was more realistic than the hindi version not just the story but also the picturaisation the places where the movie was shot where fab.
I found the article on the original movies story for the readers to compare the similarity of the two movies....

Directed by: S P Jananathan Cast: Shaam, Arun Kumar, Kutty Radhika, Seema Biswas, Karunas, Pasupathi, Senthil

Here's a film that comes as a whiff of fresh air, amidst the stale products dished out in the name of entertainment. No doubt Eiyarkai has the age-old eternal love-triangle as its base. But the sensitivity in scripting, freshness in presentation, colourful characters, crisp dialogue, and idyllic locations make it worth a watch.

The backdrop to the story is a small port, where ships dock, and sailors waiting for their next sail, gather in a small cafe run by two women, Mercy and her teenage sister-in-law Nancy (Seema Biswas-Radhika). Nancy barters fruits and vegetables to sailors, taking whatever they give her. And it's in one such instance that she gets her first crush on the sober, handsome captain of a ship that docks at the port. And when she throws a tantrum to leave with him, the indulgent captain (Arun Kumar) advises her not to, and explains to her the difference between love and infatuation, and promises to return one day.

The next ship brings in a sailor Marudhu (Shaam), carefree, and an extrovert, a complete contrast to the captain. Marudhu falls for Nancy's innocent charm, and is not bothered even when she tells him about her love. He even helps her to trace the captain's whereabouts. Nancy finds herself drawn to Marudhu, and feels guilty when her visits to the lighthouse to look for her captain's ship become less frequent. She finally gives her consent to marry Marudhu. And then the captain returns. Who gets the girl, and who gets to play the martyr?

The closing scene reflects the director's dilemma as to which hero should get the audience sympathy! Commercial considerations seems to have dictated it. As also the fight scene to prove the hero's machismo. The intensity of the love between Nancy and the captain is not brought out convincingly. The talented Seema Biswas too has been wasted in an inconsequential role. Shaam carries off his role with elan cutting a handsome figure. Arun Kumar appears in fewer scenes as the ship's captain, but leaves his mark. Petite, charming and talented, Kutty Radhika (from Kannada films) projects convincingly the innocence and the dilemma of the character. Unlike his earlier films, Karunas is more controlled here.

Kadhal Vanthal... the catchier of Vidyasagar's tunes has been well picturised. The visuals are splendid (Ekambaram), catching effectively the landscape and the mood of the film. The old lighthouse, which forms the focal point of many a scene, and Nancy cutting a pretty picture as she stands on top of it, looking out across the sea for her captain's ship, are images that linger on in one's mind.

Producer Kumar and debutant director Jananathan, should be commended for giving a classy, wholesome and clean entertainer that is worth a watch.

The film is based on Dostrovesky's White Nights. A classic piece of literature.

Saawariya is not randomly blue.

First of all the movie is about 4 nights and nights are dark and blue is a good choice for darkness without being black.

Second, blue is a color of Krishna...Krishna means "dark" in sanskrit and Krishna also was in love with Radha who he never married. Krishna = Saawariya.

Third, blue also is a color of sorrow. Ranbir Raj, saawariya, was consumed by his love for Sakina. He never had her but always loved her.

He knows the girl's name after Jhumri calls her Sakina...There is a whole scene dedicated to how he found out her name. Raj was counting down to 5 when Jhumri calls her..Sakina and he goes "Sakina" and Sakina nods affirming that it is indeed her name.

She wasn't running randomly at the start. She was being chased by a random street guy. She went to the bridge coz Salman had told her he would be back at the bridge. So she went there in search of Salman. Her granny didn't know. But she loved Salman and wanted to be with him. She was waiting for him and going to the bridge gave her I guess some sort of satisfaction...maybe it gave her freedom also since she was being pinned to her granny at night. So waiting for Salman at the bridge was a source of freedom for her. She was delirious...she didn't know half the time what she was doing. She was madly in love.

The town is 'blue' firstly because the story is about four nights when two strangers meet, so the blue projects moonlight and mystery. The colour also represents Lord Krishna who was known as 'Saawariya'

Ranbir knows Sakina's name because when he walks home with her, her name is called out

The part where she runs in the beginning....do you mean when some thugs were coming after her?

Oh and Sakinas Gradmother does not know that she sneeks out every night to wait for Imaan
