Oh yes, agree completely. The further in time I got from the end of the film, the more I thought HOW DARE YOU.

Beyond all the prettiness, it’s a terrible excuse for throwing money at the screen.
I get the need to create a fantasy land, but it’s never used for much of anything except as an excuse for zero characterization.

Oh my stars. Fab. I hated Saawariya too. I also made the mistake of taking a friend who had never seen any popular Indian cinema to see it, since it was in the theater and I figured it’d be pretty to look at. She loved it, but I think that was the effect of all the dazzle and possibly the towel. Let us not overlook the importance of the towel. For me, though, it was a seriously ill-conceived one-night stand – pleasing to the senses while it lasted, but the moment the lights came up…yech.
