Saawariya is a nightmare!!
by Orange Rose on Nov 13, 2007 01:19 AM   Permalink

Looks like Sanjay Bhansali was full of over-confidence when he conceived Saawariya. Riding on the success of Black. Perhaps, the Kapoors had a meeting to launch their kids and decided to pitch in the dough and hire Bhansali. Bhansali was riding the wave of success, asked his ridiculous price and also forbade the seasoned stars as Rishi-Neetu and Anil to not interfere. Bhansali had good money at disposal and he wanted to try out a "concept" which had never been tried in Indian Cinema. Some crap monotonous "blue backgrounds" and black and white clothes. I wish he had called me for a story. The movie is more like an advertisement on Ranbir and Sonam and less like a movie. After watching it I knew that Ranbir could act, dance, emote etc etc but my money on the tickets had gone waste.
Sonam is trying hard to look pretty but is "horsy". Ranbir is star material but it takes a lot MORE to be successful than star material. He got to have intellect to choose his movies and stay away from self-obsessed directors. It was an ugly sight to see so many close-ups of Zohra Sehgal. I didnt find that amusing. Rani had no role to play and perhaps Mr. bhansali asked her or forced her to play a part as a "thank You" to Mr.Bhansali making her India's no.1 heroine after Black. Ms Mukherjee, needs to stop doing such crap appearances or I may have to boycott her movies.
I'll be happy to note that Mr.Bhansali's price drops after this release atleast with the Distributors whose houses may have got auc
