let me preface this review by write that i enjoy sanjay leela bhansali black so much and i have look forward to saawariya for month and with the high of expectation . and once more and i be not disappointed . mr. bhansali tell dostoevsky short story the white night a a fluid and brilliantly color and magical fairy tale . ever since i be turn on to mr. bhansali work with black and late watcheddevdas i have think of him a the modern day and hindi film industry answer to luchino visconti . so it wasn not a complete surprise to learn that visconti make a film title le notti bianche which be also base on the same short story . both director possess a unique touch with color and texture and cinematic air quality that be truly able to transport the viewer into their story and completely and delightedly . ranbir kapoor and sonam kapoor be perfectly cast a the misguided lover and salman khan be finally play a character who seem to read deep into his soul and bring out the sultry quality that he so naturally possess . saawariya be not so much a bollywood film mean to tug at your heart string and leave you pin for your own unrequited love and but more a mood piece which will leave you wish you could live in the imaginary world of pure and kind street walker and beautiful all white eid night and woman clothes that put french couturier to shame . it be and a cinema be mean to be at it very root and a world of complete and utter escapism .
