Summary: Saathiya-Not as Excellent as Original but still Awesome
Review: Saathiya is not as good as Alaipayuthay., But it still is awesome. There are very good performances and awesome songs. The best song is Chupke Se. But be4 watching it you should watch the Tamil version first (Alaipayuthay) because you would really enjoy it!

Summary: Saathiyan - Realities of Marriage
Review: Saathiyan is a Hindi remake of the Mani Rathnam original in Tamil "Alayapayude"

Vivek Oberoi plays Aditya Sehgal, a happy go lucky rich lad who is yet to understand the true meaning of love. That is of course, until he meets Suhani Sharma (Rani Mukherjee). Suhani is a medical student intent on becoming a doctor, she doesn't want unnecessary things (like love) to get in the way of her career.

She soon realizes that you can't control matters of the heart, no matter how hard you try to resist. Due to the disapproval of their parents the couple decides to elope, once married, the real tests begin.

The story is nothing original. But the treatment and the focus are different. Mani Rathnam does not focus on uniting the rebellious romantics but tries to address the underlying issues of sustaining togetherness in wedlock. Practical realities and the impact of these realities on the marriage and how the couple deals with these are the main focus of the film.

Vivek Oberoi and Rani Mukerjee are both good but lack the simplicity and honesty portrayed by Madhavan and Shalini in the original. The freshness of youth and the associated callousness was definitely better portrayed by Madhavan and Shalini than Vivek Oberoi and Rani Mukherjee.

The music is also not as striking as the original. For anyone who has seen the original the remake is definitely a let down and for those who cannot understand Tamil I still recommend the original with the subtitles.
