Just like a soda bottle, Sanam Teri Kasam’s fizz settled down soon after it premiered in Karachi.
Given that it’s Mawra Hocane’s Bollywood debut, our homegrown talent deserves credit for her acting prowess in the film. But even her acting couldn’t save the clumsy script from drowning.
Sanam Teri Kasam stars Mawra in the lead role as Saraswati Parthasarthy (aka Saru) alongside Indian actor Harshvardhan Rane as Inder Parihar, who also marked his Bollywood debut. The pair’s effortless chemistry was the only saving grace in the two-and-a-half hour film.
Here are five reasons (spoiler alert) to help you decide whether this film is worth a watch.
1. You know the ending before it starts
Major giveaway! One of the starting shots shows a heartbroken Inder standing under the shade of a tree that reads Saraswati Parihar (1994-2015). Okay so, Mawra dies in the course of the film, no happy ending.
Mawra Hocane: If SRK can do it, why can’t I?
2. The never-ending ‘bechari’ syndrome
Just when we thought we wouldn’t see Mawra in a damsel-in-distress avatar anymore, she gives us yet another tear-ridden role. This time around she plays a nerdy girl who suffer from the so-called victim personality.
3. It’s all about impressing guys
Mawra’s character seems to only have one goal in life: to impress the opposite sex so she can get married. But since her sati savitri (simple) look is a major hindrance, her desperation gets the better of her. She ends up on Inder’s door at 4am begging for a beauty transformation.
After having previously been rejected by almost 10 guys, Saru’s amazing transformation makes her crush (one of her colleagues) swoon over her and she readily accepts his marriage proposal. Cliché much?
Not competing with Mahira Khan, says Mawra Hocane on Bollywood debut
4. Indigestible dialogues
The dialogues were cringe-worthy.
“Main itni easily give up nahi karti. Main nayi Saru ban ke office jaongi,” Saru after being disowned by her father, and gaining new self confidence after her transformation.
“Wife ko permission nahi doge, toh kaise jaegi?” Saru on her deathbed.
20 things you didn’t know about Mawra Hocane
5. The never-ending end
Saru’s death was a tiring affair, one which refused to end and went on forever and ever …
If we didn’t convince you, here’s the trailer of the film to help you make up your mind:
should have avoided the inappropriate news cover picRecommend
Mawra aapa”s performance in the film sure will fetch her best actress award.Recommend
The girl needs to put a bit more meat on the bones. Shes too waif thin to be taken as a heroine. She should come out of that size zero fairy tale .Recommend
The movie aint that bad as people are criticizing. At least i found the story line better than Dilwaley!Recommend
Saraswati Parihar (1994-2005)
She plays an eleven year old!? What!?Recommend
It only pak media who create hype of its actors like mawra, fawad, meera etc….but in reality they don’t make it in Bollywood Recommend
pic on the top seems like a rape sceneRecommend
Watch Airlift, it is a good movie.Recommend
Sounds like an adaptation of “A walk to remember”. Recommend
Its cute movie yar dnt criticize the efforts of the actors atleastRecommend
The country formed on the name of Islam is way too far to accomplish it’s founders imagination.The corrupt politicians,Judges,media, etc all are prevailing due to non-implementation of the shariah law which was the basis of formation of Pakistan.following the path of shaitan doing obscene will further hurt you more.Recommend

this has to be the only film I enjoyed after a long time ! the characters were lovable the plot is interesting (for once) and the chemistry is mind blowing. The process of falling in love felt very natural compared to other films where it seems too rushed.
The songs were catchy and plot twists were unexpected. Brilliant film!! much better than other films that fail to capture the viewer’s interest Recommend
