Saaya

Anurag Basu's 'Saaya' is almost a scene by scene ripoff of 'Dragonfly'. Basu has since gained recognition as a hack director. However, this time, even after being ripped off, 'Saaya' is mind numbingly boring. It's pretty much about a man grieving his wife's death and Basu has cast one of the worst actors in this role. Abraham, though less wooden than he usually is, delivers yet another weak performance. His forced and yet clueless puppy-dog wannabe expressions are quite funny (unintentionally of course). Tara Sharma is miscast. Mahima Chaudhry is wasted in a less significant role but she is a scene stealer and acts better than the rest of the cast put together. Needless to say, she's the only one that acts at all. The song in the opening sequence has catchy lyrics while the rest of them are forgettable. The cinematography is sometimes very good but otherwise dull. Anyway, 'Saaya' is quite a waste and I'd only recommend it if you're having a hard time getting some sleep.

Saaya is a movie which is not worth a "Hit" or "Superhit" status. It is much beyond that. This movie is a tribute to eternal love. Full credit goes to the writer Amol Shetge and director Anubhav Sinha.

The movie will be cherished and appreciated by all the people in true love. The performance by John is much beyond words. Tara Sharma in a brief but most significant role leaves an impact. But the winner is Anu Malik. The music is the hero of the film. Songs being aplenty, are wonderful, melodious and well-suited to the mood of the film.

After watching the movie, I really remembered of my girl and thought "Do I love my partner as much as Akki (i.e. John) does?" I really recommend one and all to watch the movie with your loved ones and please do not forward any songs. If after watching this movie, u start loving your partner more than you do now, then the purpose of writing of this preview is accomplished.

John Abraham seems to have matured tremendously since Jism and did a great job. Mahima, as always, gave a great performance in her short yet noticable role. The girl opposite John was barely in the movie and didn't make much of a mark. The ending and theme are also interesting.

An adaptation of the Hollywood movie 'Dragonfly'. The movie has an okay-okay screenplay, but the movie is saved by the brilliant direction of the mastero, Anurag Basu. Without a good director, the movie could have been a total mismash, but thank God, it didn't happen!

The story is not seen many times, it is kind of story dealing with the connection between 'this world' and 'that world'. Few loopholes are there in the movie, but not a problem..

This is one of the early movies of John Abraham, but he is perfectly fine, without any newcomer feeling. The show almost belongs to him only, and he handles it well. His expression was very good in the climax. Tara Sharma had more song presence, than scenes. She is alright, but seems uncomfortable in a sequence or two. Mahima Chaudhary also does a supporting role, she does it well. Raj Zutshi irritates with his accent... Zohra Sehgal was good for her role.

Songs by Anu Malik are okay, and surprisingly, Shreya Ghoshal appears in a song, as a school girl. The song is sung by herself, she looks good, and the song too!!

On the whole, an average script, made above average with a good direction. "(Average+Good)/2= Above Average"

I actually liked the movie and also the acting of John and all the other supporting actor's. Yes it's a copy but very well made. The only bad thing about it is that it was made at wrong time..

Song - beautiful written songs. It's 2020 but I still listen to the songs whenever I get chance.

It always touches your heart. Great lyrics

I hope to see a remake of the movie and John and tara as lead.
