Moksh Juneja Saawariya is a movie loosely based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story "White Nights". First things First is debut actor Ranbir Kapoor. He completely reminds of you Raj Kapoor with his actions and dressing style in the movie; he also reminds you of Shammi Kapoor with the "Yahoo" style of mannerisms and dance, in dance again his style is a serious competition to Hritik Roshan.Sonam Kapoor reminds of you Waheeda Reahman from Pyaasa, it is cause of her natural beauty or the lighting effect or whatever may be the cause. Her character was too docile in the movie and very indecisive. The movie has not being appreciated cause of the art that Sanjay Leele Bansali has put up and has a depressing ending, just like Fanna ending. You can do this to a movie with such happy characters.What does the colours actually mean in the movie. I think it was to showcase some kind of dreamland or cause the whole era in the movie or a time is not fixed in the movie. One thing that the audience cannot relate to the movie is because there is definite time period. At the same time, i would appreciate the art and the set design that was undertaken in the movie and the imagination that was used, but why Blue color? Other characters in the movie. Veteran actor Zohra Sehgal is quiet good in the movie as English lady with complete panache and does to justice to her role. Rani Mukherjee actually overdid and make up with all the songs in the movie. for Salman Khan fans, this is not a Salman Khan movie

DesiBaba I am not a fan of musical or of romantic movie genre. I fast forward through musical numbers, can't stand them. I only got the DVD for this movie from the library because it was directed by SLB. No matter what, his movies are without any doubt worthy of a look. He is one of the better Bollywood directors at the present time. I have watched all of his past movies. The most recent one prior to this one was Black, which I did not like. I felt the same way for the first 15-20 mins of this movie. But I could not turn it off simply due the visually appealing sets and gripping direction from SLB. Sonam Kapoor's performance is worthy of an award given that this is her first movie. Ranbir is also good. Rani is her dependable self. Music, I thought, was below par given the nature of this movie. One or two memorable tracks but not a blockbuster soundtrack. The movie is highly underrated going by its IMDb rating. Even tough it is not a genre that I generally enjoy, it is still much much better than most Bollywood movies that have come out recently...

fredandmelody This is a fantastic tale that takes the viewer through song, dance, drama, comedy. love. and endearing moments. It is full of beautiful images, like Sakina beating the rugs, etc.. lots of magical visuals and dramatic moment along with wondrous dance and song scenes. One could see themselves in this situation and the various outcomes there can be. The lyrics are so beautiful, so descriptive that one would only wish they could hear these words from someone.The lyrics are so beautiful. I give this a 10 stars, a must see.... My only warning is that the subtitles are done in yellow and at many times blend into the scene and become hard to read so i guess..sit close? Wish so much they had done subtitles a bit better. And when raj sings in his room.. all women will swoon! Not to mention his absolute fantastic great looks and his character personality is so endearing. Sakina is an absolute beauty...and full of playfulness but yet mysterious and persistent. You will I believe, love this movie.. its magical musical and an experience into a distant land.

DreamyGirl247 Ever since watching the astoundingly breathtaking Devdas I was quite eager to watch Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya and having actually now watched the film I cannot understand why this film was not appreciated more.Once again Sanjay Leela Bhansali does not disappoint as he sends the audience on a magical love story situated in an enchanting nocturnal neverland that is quite simply a superb visual feast that will delight the senses. Saawariya tells the magical and tragic story of Ranbir Raj, (Ranbir Kapoor), a young and innocent musician who wins everyone's heart. He is full of life and wins over anyone he comes across, he spreads joy and brings a smile onto everyone's faces with his irresisitible persona and charm. One night the lonely Raj happens upon a chance encounter with a mysterious figure on a bridge. The mysterious image turns out to be none other than a heartbreakingly beautiful young Muslim girl named Sakina, (Sonam Kapoor). Her silent eyes are full of mystery and sorrow. She awaits the man she loves, Imaan, (Salman Khan) who had to go away a year earlier leaving her behind and promising to return for her on the night of Eid. Raj's chance encounter with Sakina leads to him inevitably falling in love with her. Their meeting develops into a friendship and series of unforgettable nights filled with music, passion and romance.The visual splendor and music of this film are so lush and lovely that it is simply not to be missed. Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor deliver excellent performances especially for their first film. In shirt, Saawariya is nothing less than a masterpiece. I would say ignore any bad reviews you have seen or heard of this film and give it a chance. Saawariya is definitely something different and unique and is the sort of film that needs to appreciated for it's ethereal and extravagantly breathtaking beauty.
