Sonam Kapoor in Saawariya

SAAWARYA

Sawarya is a Hindi movie released in 2007. The central theme of the movie is taken from Fyodo Dostoevsky and written by Prakash Kapadia, this film is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Sonam Kapoor is the new face introduce on the Bollywood screen. As SLB is best in direction and by seeing the trailer of movies it was expecting that movie would be a Box Office hit. The name of English writer was also attracting our attention. But to our great disappointment, film has nothing special in it. The major reason of the film being flopped is that the story was totally away from reality. No family concept, no ethics and norms and only those things are shown in the movie not consider good in society. The stage was looking an artificial land.

The story is about the two lovers Sakina who is waiting for her lover and Ranbir Raj who slowly develops love for Sakina in his four meetings during her wait. And this is true for all the characters in the movie. As Gulabji (Rani Mukharji) loves Ranbir, Lillipop (Zohra Sehgal) and even Sakina’s mot5her is waiting for her lovers respectively. The endless wait causes uneasiness among the spectators who were waiting for a positive or negative result of characters’ wait.

Another negative point of the movie is the presentation of prostitute which spoils the image of Ranbir and Sakina as a bad nature fellow. The careless attitude towards life and spending time in meeting those people who have no respect in the society leave bad impression our mind.

The cinematography is as usual excellent on the part of SLB’s skill. We really admire how he creates a meloncholic mood as the loss of love creates. The characters moving followed by blue and green lights also enjoyable but for 3 hrs movie it disgusted. The extra songs are another thing not essence of SLB’s movie. We want to give margin to the director for his long old good repute but how long? He truly fails in winning spectators approval in every matter.

The cast of the movie is quite appealing as Ranbir Kapoor gives good debut on the screen. Although Rabir occasionally shows immaturity yet gets the margin as a new actor. Sonam fails to leave a lasting impression and will take time to make people forget her first bad impression as an artist and hopefully she will improve a lot.
