spoiler warningsaathiya be a film about a couple who have the courage to follow their heart but discover themselves and each other that be they mature a they go along . the film itself have a lot of maturity in how it deal with the subject and for once young adult be show a intelligent human being rather than the dtph and kkhh or ddlj type plot drive puppet . but the film director shaad ali lack the courage to make a really honest film down to the last reel . the script be an original and the acting be superb and rahman music fit in very well with the narrative . rani mukherjee performance in the film remind me of what she do in hey ram . you give this lady a role of substance and she know how to portray it beautifully . and i be really impress by vivek oberoi a a very secure and mature actor . in road as well a this film and he very subtly take a backseat to the more high profile bajpai and mukherjee and give them a chance to fee off of him . one thing that have me a little tick off be why couldn not the song be picturised in continuation with the narrative instead of some fantasy costume and backup dancer and abstract movement that seem out of place . also the shamita shetty song be totally out of place and unrequired . but inspite of that and the way the adi suhaani relationship unfolds have me totally glue until the last twenty minute . i do not mind when they use suhaani accident a a plot device for the end . although they could have do with a 5 minute scene involve some more of the beautiful dialogue of gulzar and vivek and rani superb chemistry onscreen . anyways and even if you go along with the accident and why the heck do we need shahrukh and tabu all of a sudden . to me it show that mr. shaad ali be not confident enough of his film stand on it own merit and therefore he need to add some solid starpower to draw in the audience . or maybe it be pressure from yash chopra or mani ratnam . in any case i totally felt betray on what have be an almost brilliant film till the last 20 minute . to ali credit though and his use of flashback be very well do . from seem like one of the best bollywood film of the year and saathiya end up be an average entertainer . on my part and i will try to delete the last 20 minute from my memory of the film . positive .
