Saawariya...

What a let down...it’s a good thing that I missed it at the theatres… and we had an option to fast forward and reduce the misery from 2 hrs 10 mins to 1 hr…
It is a totally bizarre romance. The characters were not sketched well and so one gets a feeling of incompleteness and only at the end of the movie you think that the storyline was good but could have been handled a little better.
I am sure Sanjay Leela Bhansali could have done better – with some good dialogues but instead every few minutes they break off into a song… reminded me of the Chitrahaar times on Doordarshan years and years back…just one song after the other…we tried keeping count in the beginning but eventually lost count…
The few dialogues that we have in between the songs hardly make sense and are so irritating because of the plastiky giggles from Sonam…(Cant decide if her giggling is worse or Ashwariya’s)
The set was quite artificial too…you like it initially but after some time it gets monotonous…
The only nice thing about the movie was Zohra Sehgal, who is brilliant as always… She plays a ‘now-stern-now-mellow’ landlady who wins your heart over.
The song that Ranbir sings in a towel…seemed a bit erotic…wonder how come the board passed it…or didn’t give the movie an A rating…
Rani Mukerjee was likable at times…and if had to sum up this movie in her words…’I don’t likes’…
