What drives this love story are impressive performances by Rani Mukerji and Vivek Oberoi.

Duets and full scale wedding routines follow each other as the first half zips along with its charter to set the musical mood. In cinemas, Saathiya will be played with an interval in keeping with Indian cinema rituals, when patrons can discuss the songs,

Feb 14, 2008

An interesting movie that centralizes around young Suhani and Aditya. Suhani inspires to be a medical doctor, and Aditya chooses to become a lawyer just as his father before him. The two meet at a wedding, and soon become intrigued with one another. Love follows, and the two choose to get married. An argument ensues, the two decide to secretly marry regardless of the wishes of their families. After their marriage is discovered, the two leave home and decide to make a life together. Their relationship is tested, but yet their love is strengthened when they learn to trust and rely on each other. Fantastic music by A. R. Rahman. Great cast- Rani Mukherjee, Vivek Oberoi, Sandhya Mridul, and Sharat Saxena. Guest appearances by Shahrukh Khan and Tabu. Worth seeing!

saathiya means lover in english.. and this beautiful movie tell the story of two lovers who elope with believe of love, got married, feel lonely, seprated by families, trouble arises, accident happen, get seprated, love conquer??? i can proudly say that this is one of the TRUE romantic/drama movie ever. Rani mukherjee is a true actor, she potray the character with all her soul, she did justice and deserve all acclaim to make Saathiya one of the top grossing movie in india!! Vivek does good too, as charmy boy-great-husband-type.. The music is another top notch, A.R rahman is just mind blowing.. suits every scene perfectly.. one of the best Bollywood movie.

A typical love story, the guy loves the girl, the girl plays hard to get, soon they fall in love, get married and then find out that marriage is all bad. and in the end, everyone lives happily ever after. I don't really like this movie. But AR Rehman's music, is [as usual] awesome! Vivek and Rani don't make a good couple. And Of course I loved the way Shahrukh suddenly popped up at the end. It was pretty LOL.
