Saawariya is a crap that fails to amuse, Bhansali’s disappoints. A thin story line is stretched too long with too many songs. Basically the story in itself is boring with a slow pace it is killing to sit through. This movie leaves you confused. At the end of the show you are still not clear with certain things as follows:
1. What did Sakina see in Imaan to fall in love with him? She knows nothing about him except for his name then on what basis does she wait for him? Also when did they even have the time to bond so much that she considers him the love of her life? How could it lead to romance?
2.Salman’s character is a mystery. Why does he come and why does he leave? Nothing is known.
3.If Gulabji, the girl with a golden heart loves Raj, why did she get him beaten when he came to her? Bhansali has not given the viewers any clue for her sudden outburst.
4.If Sakina knew that befriending Raj will annoy her grandmother. Then what makes her go around playing with him on the streets and in her house on the eve of id?
Guys, it’s not just the story that is faulty but almost everything in the movie. The visuals get deadly to watch as it is just dark from the beginning to the end and I do not understand the logic, it is scary. The visuals are too hyped to fit the modern world. I have this feeling that Bhansali was trying to portrait himself as a class director, but unfortunately he falls flat. I would rather prefer to watching Hrishkesh Mukherjee’s movie over and over.

Art can't be compared to commercial.Saawariya is a treat to watch on the big screen. Don't forget that Ranbir and Sonam are one film old and they performed brilliantly.No one can match the skill of Mr. Bhansali. The critics were too harsh on the film. Its hard to see OSO taking the critics on their side.

hi rajeev, I saw this movie last sunday and let me tell u , i was furious when i came out of the theatre.I dont understand what Mr Bhansali( now to be called as BHANGsali or Bhansaaaale ) and screenplay writer Prakash kapadia were thinking when they were writing those characters.Or is it that Mr.bhansali expected the opulent and magnum-opus looking sets(deserves an award ) to emote more than charaters.I thought the first half was a controlled one , laced up by Hrithik look-alike Ranbir raj's histrionics. But u have to ask Bhansali how he hams up in the second half where he forces the prostitutes( they dont even look good apart from Rani ) to woo and plead infront of Ranbir to make him happy.Aah leave all those even the scene where Sonam leaves Ranbit is not even relatable.Mr.bhansali i just hope that u come up witha better story and a tight script in ur next outing..

What is your bewnchmark sir? Om shanti OM. i mean you gotto just see what people are saying after seeing OSO in the theatres. All your life you have criticized masala movies , suddenly masala movies get good reviews from you. the review is malicious , just for the Music and performances the film already has 2 stars in the BAg . Baaki Extra .

I think you Mr. Rajeev Masand is biased n a complete jerk... you are one frustrated soul seating in that seat and judging things with hatred and frustration you don’t have a clear mind. I personally feel you should replace the anchor of 'SANSANI' you are no fit for judging the Indian Cinema... I really don’t know if given you a chance to direct a movie what kind of trash you are going to make and the jerks who will come and watch it. goshhhh
you are single minded person you hate Indians and Indian movies you love english and western cinema. you are a biases.

Even SLB Black was not upto the mark .It was more like a fancy dresss competition .He is bit over serous about himself .He thinks he is great .He can either concertate only on art movies or on commersial movies His HDDCS was good a movie.If he really wants to see some art movies you can see some Holywood classics ,or Adoor goplakrishnans ,Aravindans movie or even our Ray’s collection neither here not there .For a mother her son is always good but not necessary that everybody like him. Two three more flops would bring down SLB ego level and then onwards he would be excellent director .He should understand it not the Huge sets it is screnplay that matters .Avoid songs be more realistic come to the streets and find your location where audience can link that to thier life . Dont dissapoint by this fall.
I don’t compare Om Santi Om .It is just a masaal movie even Pryidarshan can make such movies. That are such movies which will be written off by the next generation or just after five years .We need to make movies for ever.Even Sholey was pure masala movie ..But strong screen play was the only reason .It didn’t had any story as such.

hi rajeev. Put your hand on your heart; ask yourself "1/5 is justified to Saawariya? If yes,OSO deserve 3/5?"
You are talking about logic, how much film has logic?
I think rating should be like this. Saawariya 4/5 , OSM 1.5/5
