Saawariya


The story first introduces Gulabji (Rani Mukherji), a prostitute who frequents RK Bar (the town's most luxurious club) who is the story's narrator. The bar's lead singer, Ranbir Raj (Ranbir Kapoor), is a free bird with no tension at all. Knowing what Gulabji does, Raj still treats her in friendly manner. When Raj tells Gulabji that he needs somewhere to stay, she tells him that there is only one woman who'll give him a place to stay and that is Lilian (Zohra Sehgal), and she will only let those who she likes stay. Raj decides to meet her the next morning.


Raj meets Lilian and they have a very emotional chat, during which Lillian reveals she has a son who left many years ago and never returned. Finally, she agrees to let Raj stay with her because he reminds her of her son.




Raj goes out for a walk in the night and meets a mystery girl dressed in black and holding an umbrella. He tries to talk to her, but she runs away and Raj starts to follow her. Getting the wrong impression, the girl shouts at Raj and tells him to go away. Raj tells her that he will go away but asks what she will do if a man with bad intentions starts to follow her. Then, as predicted by Raj, a drunken man begins to follow her and Raj saves the girl from him. Raj insists for her to allow him to take her home.


The girl agrees. Raj discovers that her name is Sakina (Sonam Kapoor), and that night Raj falls in love with her.



After thinking about her all night, Raj decides to tell Sakina he loves her. When he calls to her the next night — after resigning from his job so he can see her — Sakina ignores him and refuses to speak to him. Raj gets angry with her, but the pair reconcile. He takes her to his favorite place, on the top of city clock building.




Before he can tell that he loves her, Sakina reveals that she is in love with someone else. Sakina says that his name is Imaan (Salman Khan) and explains to him how she fell in love with him when he boarded at her house.





Although Raj now knows that Sakina doesn’t love him, he is ready to help her anyhow. He comes to believe that there is no Imaan. He asks his friend Gulabji for advice and she advises him to tell Sakina how he feels. Soon, he decides to propose to Sakina on the night of Eid. He takes Sakina to RK Bar and sings his favorite song for her. Sakina remembers that it’s time to meet Imaan at the bridge and runs away. Following her, Raj tells her that there is no Imaan; she hurts Raj, telling him to let her go.


Raj goes to Gulabji, saying he wants to be with her for the night, insulting her. Deeply hurt, she throws Raj out of the brothel onto the street, where he is beaten up by a few men.





He returns to the place where Sakina is waiting. Now Sakina is also sure that there is no chance of Imaan coming back so she decides to be with Raj as she now knows how much he loves her. Raj tries to make Sakina happy and succeeds; they enjoy the snow that has begun to fall. When they are returning home, they pass the bridge where they met and see Imaan waiting for Sakina. Torn between the two, she decides to go with Imaan. He retreats into a side street and to the sweet memories of Sakina.
