    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!!… Expand

    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.

    Loved the movie. Its getting bad reviews compared to Om Shanti Om which is ridiculous. Have seen both movies and this one is truly better. If you have even been in love, you will understand the emotions and appreciate the movie.

    Hard to believe this movie was directed by SLB. I guess my expectations were higher. It has the look of a musical on broadway, not a Bollywood movie. It's extremely dull, same old repetitive dialogues from other love stories, no character development, the only slightly redeeming aspect is the soundtrack - it's decent. I realize the director was trying to go for the Moulin Rouge appeal but it was poorly done. The story doesn't elicit any emotions from the audience, good or bad. The last thing you want your audience to feel is indifferent and that's how it leaves you feeling. Do not waste your money on this. I gave it a 5 for visual appeal and Rani Mukherjee's acting.… Expand

    Great visuals and picturisations. The songs are so soothing on the ears and the film is as refreshing as an ice cream in sahara desert.

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

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

    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."
