The title of Saawariya carries a double meaning; it refers to both an epithet for the Hindu god Krishna and to a title sought by many Indian lovers, who wish to reach a state of ‘Saawariya,’ or overpowering consumption by love. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama Saawariya weaves the tale of the ill-fated romance between two such individuals: artist Raj, who finds the fulfillment of his soul’s yearning when he enters one of the most picturesque rural hamlets in India, and his lover, Sakina, a mysterious young woman whom he spots standing on a bridge. Raj tries desperately to win Sakina’s love and devotion, but finds it increasingly difficult to accept the truth of her past. Awards: 1 win & 7 nominations
