    The experience is visually enchanting, cloyingly sweet, at once utterly chaste and insanely erotic, and finally exhausting. Aficionados will not settle for less.

    A really small movie done up in a big, moody package, Saawariya entices, fitfully springs to life but finally outstays its welcome by a good half-hour.

    It's overblown and extravagant business as usual.

    The first full-fledged Indian musical coproduced and distributed by a major Hollywood studio, this fanciful love story takes its unlikely inspiration from Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story "White Nights."

    How can it be that a movie as beautiful to look at as Saawariya is so . . . boring?

    Best SLB movie till date.. Its ridiculous how Om Shanti Om won accolades(commercially). I think that this movie wasn't meant for a diwali release, had this been released at some other time, it would have been a major hit. But today is an era of Shah Rukh Khan. Anyways if you're in love, if you had loved someone or if you're willing to love someone, this movie is for you.. don't miss it!!… Full Review »

    A beautiful and stylish film, lovingly made but also extremely overlong with way too many slow and boring parts. It doesn't flow well and it prompts you to look at your watch way too much.… Full Review »
