We try not to comment too much on movies as Bollywood makes a new one every time someone breathes, but we wanted to spare anyone we could from the pain of sitting through this charade of a movie.
Saawariya, which seemed to have everything going for it - enough promotion for 10 films and two hot newcomers (Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor), turned out to be a huge shitfest!
Under Bhansali’s direction, Saawariya leaves so many questions lingering in your mind, with answers to none. The incredibly sluggish pace with its many songs makes it even harder to sit through. Constantly, shot in a dark gloomy indoor set, the visuals get tedious to watch leaving you craving for some bright light.
The cast then, what can be said? Beautiful people as far as the eye can see, most of whom could use a few acting lessons. Sonam Kapoor for a debutant delivers an OK performance. She seems to amble through the film somehow, waiting to take home her fat paycheque! Unfortunately Ranbir Kapoor is the films only saving grace with his boyish charm.
Rani Mukherjee, as usual, is her brilliant self whereas age is starting to creep up on Salman Khan. As for his role, the ex-con is completely wasted in his hardly-10-minute appearance.
But what does Sonam’s famous father, Anil Kapoor make of this dismal flick? According to sources, he’s infuriated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and refuses to speak to the media! Ha! We hope he’s not puffing away to his grave!
