Saawariya (or Sanwariya another pronunciation) (Hindi: सावरिया, Urdu: سانوریا, translation: My Love) is a 2007 Hindi film produced and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film is based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story "White Nights".
Co-produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment and released on 9 November 2007, it is the first Bollywood movie to receive a North American release by a Hollywood studio, shortly preceding Walt Disney Pictures' animated feature Roadside Romeo (2008), and Warner Bros.' Chandni Chowk to China. Additionally, it is one of the first Bollywood films to be released on Blu-ray Disc.
The film marks the debut of both the lead actors; Ranbir Kapoor (son of actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh) and Sonam Kapoor (daughter of Anil Kapoor). It also stars Rani Mukerji and Salman Khan in cameos and Zohra Sehgal in a supporting role.
It flopped as it clashed with Shahrukh Khan's Om Shanti Om.
