'Saaawan - The Love Season' had the makings of an interesting, gripping film but has gone wrong in its execution especially in the post-interval sections. The pre-interval sequence grips the audience but the sequence of events that follow makes the film lose the impact. The climax is a let down.

Let's tell you the story first. Raj (Kapel Jhaveri) and Kajal (Saloni Aswani), both Mumbaiites, meet in Cape Town, while on a holiday there. Raj calls their meeting destiny while Kajal calls it mere coincidence.

It's love at first sight for Raj, but Kajal isn't interested in him. There are the usual chase and rejection scenes until Kajal too begins to like him. A call to their respective parents and the engagement is fixed. Where's the drama in the love story. This way the film would be over in an hour!

Cut to Mumbai. There's a modern version of Devdas (Salman Khan) weeping and singing a sad number in memory of his dead girlfriend. He's pleading with God to kill him as he has no desire to live. What's the connection between the love track and this man?
