The
ambitious
Sawaariya
which
introduced
star
kids
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Sonam
Kapoor
was
meant
to
be
soulful,
poetry
in
motion
with
wonderful
visuals.
But
the
film
was
major
commercial
let
down
and
couldn"t
sustain
the
major
competition
given
by
the
other
Diwali
release
Om
Shanti
Om.
Except
for
a
selected
few,
the
film
didn"t
appeal
to
the
average
viewer,
who
found
it
too
slow
and
boring.
Over
a
month
now,
critics,
industry
insiders
and
audiences
alike
have
come
up
with
their
own
separate
reasons
behind
its
commercial
debacle.
The
latest
is
that
some
viewers
who
were
eagerly
awaiting
the
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
magnum
opus
were
left
high
and
dry
in
the
theatre.
In
a
very
humorous
mode,
they
blurted
out
there
itself,
“Why
did
Bhansali
sahab
decide
to
fully
cloth
the
heroine
Sonam
who
is
supposed
to
show
at
least
some
skin
and
cover
her
so
from
head
to
toe?
Why
then
make
the
hero
Ranbir
dance
bare
bodied
in
a
towel?
Isn't
it
all
wrong?"
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
who
is
so
very
touchy
about
the
film
is
going
to
be
pretty
disappointed
if
he
hears
this.
After
all
his
film
was
all
for
art
and
looks
the
average
viewer
got
it
all
wrong.
Well,
we
would
say
he
didn"t
worry
too
much.
After
all,
he
is
in
a
league
of
his
own.
And
importantly
Ranbir
and
Sonam"s
careers
have
taken
off
and
they
have
quite
a
few
big
offers
in
hand.
