'SAAWARIYA' (2007)








Saawariya is the innocent love story of two lonesome youngsters over a period of 4 successive nights. The charming, free-spirited Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) is a dreamer, who comes to a quaint, picturesque town in Shimla, known for its lakes, mist, heavenly snowfall, rains, and tall swaying pine trees.

Raj believes that he's found the perfect place to inspire his inner artist. The bright, fun-filled winding streets of the mall come alive with singing clubs, rustic folklore, dancing, love ballads, flourishing colonies of artists and weavers, and chants from the monastery - all woven in perfect harmony into a magical dream. All is perfect until at a bridge one night, he stumbles across the shy, mysterious, and melancholic Sakina (Sonam Kapoor) with a secret past.

Their chance encounter kindles into friendship and an impromptu romance. As one night passes another, Raj falls more and more in love with Sakina and tries to win her heart, while Sakina begins to trust him enough to share her secret. But when Sakina reveals why she cannot reciprocate his love, Raj is unable to accept her past and is driven into a whirlwind of desire, madness, and romance.

Will the same bridge where the lovers met become the same bridge that separates them?


Male nudity comes to Bollywood with
Saawariya. Thirty four years after Rishi Kapoor dropped his towel to expose his bare behind to the camera and to an embarrassed Aroona Irani in his debut as the male lead in Raj Kapoor's Bobby, his son Ranbir has done the same without any inhibitions in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. Yes, for the first time in a mainstream Hindi film the hero has done a nude shot . The unexpected occurs during the course of a song Jab Se Tere Naina shot with the debutant hero waltzing around in a towel.
