Reviews for Saawariya
Top CriticA breezy and passably entertaining major Indian musical, the first to be released by a major Hollywood studio.

Comes this close to sweeping us off our feet.
11/14/07
May not be the artistic milestone many have been hoping for, but as the first product of Bollywood's marriage with Hollywood, there should be pride from all corners for producing a solidly crafted entertainment.

See this movie if you need to get some sleep.

Top CriticSaawariya entices, fitfully springs to life but finally outstays its welcome by a good half-hour.
11/12/07
Top CriticRanbir Raj is a charming presence with moves that suggest a cross between Justin Timberlake and Gene Kelly, but the screen really comes to life when it's full of dancers.
05/28/08
For audiences unaccustomed to the format, the film runs too long -- though it is short by Bollywood standards -- and is repetitive, sentimental and cliched.
11/09/07
Top CriticSaawariya doesn't collapse but does wobble for much of its nearly 150-minute running time
11/09/07
The songs are undistinguished, and while newcomers Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor (who aren't related) both have impeccable Bollywood pedigrees, her performance is wildly uneven -- and his strenuously madcap antics are grating rather than endearing.
11/09/07
How can it be that a movie as beautiful to look at as Saawariya is so...boring?
11/09/07
Top CriticEntertaining ... Not all that different from America's love affair with MTV, American idol, and prime time TV offerings
05/03/08
Of all the film's rococo pleasures—the lavish dance numbers, the dramatic rainstorms, and even the gold dust that puffs out when Sakina beats her rugs -- Mukherjee's richly textured diva is the most mesmerizing...
11/09/07
Disappointingly, neither India's most artistic director nor his new discoveries can prevent this song-packed extravaganza from being a beautifully crafted bore.
11/13/07
Saawariya is 2 hours 11 minutes of wide-screen close-ups, fanciful sets, colorful costumes, bellybuttons, almost-kisses and 10 pumped-up, achingly sweet songs.
11/09/07
Top CriticWith its lavish production design, extravagant sets, poetic musical numbers and photogenic stars, Saawariya is ravishing to look at, but disappointing overall
