4.5 Excellent

Firstly, I am really surprised at the way Taran Adarsh reviewed OSO and Saawariya. I watched both and I must say Saawariya was far better. The objections/questions raised in his review were bizarre. It was well-known that the movie is set in an imaginary town. It is a beautiful story about a boy who meets a girl in a very strange way and in a very strange town. And I must add that I mean strange in a good way. Ranbir's acting was excellent and Sonam looked beautiful and acted well. Salman Khan did his part the best way he could even though I think they could have developed his relationship with Sonam a little bit more. Infact, in my opinion, this is the weakest point of the story. It felt like she saw him, thought he was cute, slept with him and fell in love and stayed loyal for a year without any contact from him. Its like waiting for a stranger but well we all know women so even though it sounded a little stupid, it is not something we never see in real life. In short, despite the fact that it is set in an abstract town, I think the story is very real and people can relate to it. Also, I think Ranbir's first scene with the old lady could have been done more effectively and a lot of songs should have been cut, except for "Masha Allah" and "Saawariya". I don't understand why every bollywood movie NEEDS to have tonnes of songs with people dancing out of nowhere!
