( MENAFN - IANS) New Delhi, May 31 (IANS) If wishes were movies, then beggars would act. Or, if aspirations were power, the wannabes would conquer. That's precisely what many giants of Hindi cinema have become, what with their cravings turning into opportunities fulfilling their desires.
Only because they have the power (read money!) to make a movie starring one from within their family. I am not grudging their success, but if you're the audience, then it is a blow to your brain. That's it! 'Savi' is produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under the banners of Vishesh Films and T-Series Films, and, as the publicity material indicates, it is a modern-day adaptation of the mythological story of Savitri and Satyavan.
With Divya Khossla playing the titular character of Savi, or Savitri Sachdeva, the film begins with her driving, furiously, zigzagging across snow-clad mountainous paths in the middle of the night in Liverpool, UK. She stops, pulls out a male body, drags it to a corner, plonks it against a railing and whizzes away. Next we are told in the flashback that Savi has a happy family with husband Nakul (Harshvardhan Rane) and son Adi.
Their world falls apart when Nakul becomes the key accused in a murder, that too of the boss of a construction company. The family is shattered as Nakul is picked up by detectives. Nakul insists he is being framed and Savi too is convinced of his innocence.
9 Crushed and traumatised, Savi must act fast and save her husband an.
