Good for insomnia!

Sawaan tells the story of Raj (Kapel Jhaveri) and Kajal (Saloni Aswani) who meet in Cape Town and naturally fall in love .A call to their respective parents and the engagement is fixed.Then there is Salman Khan weeping and singing a sad number in memory of his dead girlfriend. He’s pleading with God to kill him as he has no desire to live. God informs him of the next tragedy that will strike somewhere. He’s like God’s messenger. He even averts a couple of disasters. One of them is saving Kajal from a major road accident. She thanks him profusely and he tells her that her father will die at 9 p.m. today. It’s her birthday as well as her engagement today. A shocked Kajal goes through the formalities and is scared as the stipulated time for her father’s death is nearing. The clock strikes 9 and the father dies. Kajal is on the prowl for the strange man who communicates with God. A few predictions later, he even predicts her death on Friday. Initially she’s depressed but decides to live life to the fullest till Friday. .....The first few reels of the flick are indeed engaging. Director Sawaan Kumar succeeds in presenting several interesting moments at the very start. The sequences between Saloni and Kapeel are uproariously funny. Ditto for their scenes with Johny Lever.The narrative gathers momentum with Salman Khan emerging on the scene and the interval point raises hopes for a dramatic second .Alas! The post-interval portions belies the expectations. And that’s mainly because screenplay writer has tried to incorporate too many tracks in the plot.Post-interval, you see Salman weeping, the road accident track, then the climax with heavy dose of sermonising! Too complicated!The saving grace in the latter half is Salman’s experimentation with his looks Director Sawaan deserves marks for making an effort to come up with something different, but he is handicapped by a weak screenplay. Even the climax is an absolute letdown and seems incomplete. Music is ear-pleasing and easy on the lips. Cinematography is routine. Dialogues are just about okaySalman hams to the hilt.Saloni and Kapeel are passable. Sawaan is saddled by a weak script and will not find many takers. Watch it only if you want a headache..
