In the tradition of international co-productions like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, this film is the highly anticipated first release by Sony Pictures of the traditional and widely popular Indian Bollywood genre. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic romance Saawariya (Beloved) is a tender and romantic musical which centres around the chance encounter of two people Raj and Sakina and their obsession with each other over four successive nights. Saawariya is a contemporary story about the immortal emotion - love, with the unmistakable imprint of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film will have unprecendented wide releases in major countries outside of India.
