Well this is what majority of reviews people are giving to it be it on
net or in Real word or so called WOM but is it really that bad?
does it belong to the category of Aag or Cash . No it is not and like
No smoking(one of the most intelligent films of the year) this too is
misunderstood film .
Sawaariya is a story basically of Ranbir Raj who comes in side a
fairy tale place where there are big LCD screens but no vehicles well
IIRC there was not much light too and where every night there used to
Rain and Snow . isn’t it a fairyland and even film is until Ranbi Raj
knows who Sakina really love. Not going much into story as most of
them know that but this film holds your attention at one point( all
the scens) and leaves at other .The major flaw in the screenplay is the
songs except Sawaariya title and Yon Shabnami all were actually not
needed and comes at a time there was a need or some expectations that
something would happen . the scenes hold your attention to be
brokenjust be songs and ewarlier it was ok but from the time of thode
badmash it became irritating .still don’t know what chail chabila, jab
se tere naina was there for . now one may argue this is a musical but
that musical should contain songs that actually express feelings of
Ranbir . There was no song that actually express how madly Ranbir loves
Sakina why? Also one do feel for Salman khan when he gets upset
with the director for not keeping his 45 mins. Actually if the songs
would have been just 2-3 and they had kept 45 mins of salman it would
have been really interesting .
After some advice on screenplay one another sincere advice What was the
need to make this story in opulent and beautiful sets? does it
make sense that the lover is feeling pathos of love and the background
is so beautiful that one gets captivated in it . if the surroundings
would have normal one may have actually felt for the character and
severly sympathise with Ranbir .
Sonam Kapoor is strictly ok here . She has a sligthy odd dialogue
delivery and here giggles and laughter is fake( Ashs looks fake on TV
par yeh to cinema mein bhin fake lagte hain) to ad to that Mr,
Bhansali has given her such a half baked character one just don’t know
what to expect . at one point she becomes a rotdu at one point angry(
don’t know at what) and one point giggling .
Zohra sehgal is terrific here . her chemistry with Ranbir was better than Ranbir- Sonam .
Rani was ok and Salman well it was a special appearance .
Sawaariya has made me Ranbir Fan . the guy has such charm and looks
so natural on screen, girls may easily fall for him . its actually a sad
fact that In scripting Ranbirs character SLB forgot about other and
thus even make this a bit fake . he shows his range brilliantly here
from showing pagalpan to getting angry and some trademark RK style .
This is one of the most difficult debues and the Guy comes with flying
colours and IMO better than Hrithis(whose father made sure that all
ingredients were perfect and hrithik come out on top) and Abhishek(who
looked he was still in some lalaland in Refugee). Superstar for sure .
Overall – I don’t know whether I liked the film or not as I cared
for Ranbirs Character but cared damn for other and thus one can say
it’s a golden opportunity lost( don’t know mein kitni baar yeh line
likh chukka hu but its true for 70% of films in bollywood)
Rating – 6.5/10
And one advice to Ranbir please avoid Yashraj at this stage particularly the likes of Siddhatrth anands and Kunal kappor .
And people who got confused after reading the review please donot kill me.
