okie!... i posted my review under the wrong thread earlier.. here it is :-
I was so so eager to watch saawariya... I absolutely loved the promos... but the end product fails, and fails miserably...
just because a film is made differently does not mean that it is made well... and by now i'm so tired of all the pseudo intellectual crap that people are saying in support of the film... A good film will work... 'this film is not for the masses' - this argument does not hold in the current scenario.. off beat films have been doing tremendously in india and its actually films from the trusted yash raj banner (jhoom barabar, laaga chunari etc etc) that have been drawing ridicule of both the critics and the aam janta ... so please for the love of god stop saying that the movie is not working because it is not a 'masala' film....
The film is not working because it is cold! ... it just doesn't touch your heart .. its being touted as a simple love story... but there is nothing simple about it ... more inane i think is the appropriate word....
It is so so easy to get completely awed by the sets... because, no two opinions about it - they are just fabulous... but if all you can praise are the sets of the film then you know that the movie is in big trouble....
I think SLB is going the vidhu vinod chopra way ... chopra's films (the ones he directs and not produces) in recent times have been a lesson in cinematic visual brilliance but they have no substance... and the man arrogantly dismisses all his critics giving the ususal 'in-india-ppl-do-not-appreciate-classic-cinema' argument... the man imagines himself bigger than cinema itself... and SLB is going just the same way....
The characters are horribly contrived, almost caricaturist and pretty much follow all the clichs of indian cinema - the prostitute with a golden heart, the happy go (irritatingly) lucky boy who spreads joy, the coy weepy heroine etc etc..... so much for being different!
for a simple innocent film, the dialogues are too heavy and melodramatic... movies about the innocence of first love always put a smile on my face... bec there is a naivety to them that is like a breath of fresh air... but here, the film is a complete exercise in self-indulgence... SLB seems to be saying 'look, no one can make visuals like me, hence i'm greatest of them all' .... and the excess of references to the kapoor khandaan must surely have raj kapoor turning in his grave....
I don't say, that everyone should hate the film because i did not like it ... i have liked flop films... i have hated superhit films (eg: heyy baby!) .... but please don't insult the intelligence of other people by saying 'this movie is not for everyone'/'only people who appreciate true art will love it' etc etc....
Just because a film is pretentious doesn't mean its a classic....
P.S : the two debutants were good!… wish they were launched in an actual simple story that would truly showcase their potential and their chemistry… They have more spark in their interviews than in the actual movie…
