FANTASTIC MOVIE
================================================
REVIEWS
A Bollywood musical romance that boasts extravagant sets and emotions.
Boxoffice.com by Amy Nicholson
"Saawariya" is a lush production featuring fabulous sets, an extravagant musical score, 10 new songs and two newcomers with much potential as the story's star-crossed lovers.
Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
Indian cinema’s past meets its present in the lavish Saawariya. In a period when hip younger filmmakers are scrambling for American-style cool, discarding the songs and replacing sentiment with cynicism, directors like Bhansali remain determined to move popular Indian Cinema forward while preserving the unique conventions of the “Film Industry that is also a Genre.”
LA Weekly by David Chute
”It’s a love story taken to another level. Unrequited love never looked or felt so good. The film is spellbinding, heartwarming, and yes, heartbreaking as well.”
And “Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya is an eternal film that transports the viewers across time and space into a world that exists just beyond our ordinary lives.”

Ranbir Kapoor displays the youthfulness of a boy in love and the maturity of a man who has lost his love and draws you into this make-believe world of Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Harrow Observer,London by Devansh Patel
Bhansali's Saawariya inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story called White Night is like experiencing a refreshing love story off a picturesque fairy tale book. Yet, it is real and encapturing.
Saawariya is Bhansali's Diwali gift. Go on, indulge and rejoice in its extravagance.
