The latest adventure of Sanjay Leela Bhansali (from Black, Devdas, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Khamoshi) is called Saawariya, and is introducing children of two bollywood stars: Ranbir Kapoor; son of Rishi Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor; daughter of Anil Kapoor.
The story is based on a fiction place and the story is taking place during night time!!?!! There have been extensively use of theatrical elements in the movie, such as the focus on background sets and songs almost every minute. The use of theatrical elements worked in JAAN-E-MANN, but not here, because Jaan-e-mann succeeded in balancing between such effects and real life elements. In Saawariya, it is just too much theatre, which can irritate the movie watcher a lot. The music wasn’t so inspiring either.
Ranbir Kapoor has done a good job as an actor, but unfortunately, it seems like that it wasn’t the best career start. Especially if you look at it in terms of the numbers at box office, were the revenues started to decrease after some days of the film’s release.
