Akash alias Akki buries himself in his work at the hospital. Slowly
he gets a feeling that his dead wife is trying to contact him.. through
his patients who have had near death experiences. His patients mostly
children says that they see her in a tunnel and that she is trying to
call him to a place which they don't recognise. They also point out
an unusual sign about which Akash doesn't have any clue. Akash sinks
deep into the mystery searching for an answer. When he tries to share
his problem with his friends, they don't believe him and thinks that
he has lost his senses due to his loss. Maya's friend and their next
door neighbour Tanya (Mahima Chaudhary) also finds it difficult to digest
while a nun ( Zohra Segal) at the hospital explains that maybe Thara
wants to convey something to Akash. The rest of the story deals with
how Akash tries to solve the mystery....
The incidents have been presented realistically especially some of
the sequences have been handled really well, such as when Maya tries
to communicate through an ill child as well as a dead man, when Akash
sees Maya through the window etc deserves credit. But the director should
have given that much attention to the script as well, particularly in
the latter part of the second half and the climax. The build up and
the tone of the movie was effective but the unnatural climax spoils
it all. Cinematography is good, background score is apt, dialogues are
well written but the songs are just mediocre.
John Abraham shows promise. He has done his part extremely
well. The famous model steals the show with his looks as well as
histrionics. Tara looks beautiful and acts well. Mahima in her small
character role makes her presence felt, Zohra Segal is okay.
If you just looking for some chills and are not worried about an absurd
climax 'Saaya' might be the one for you.. it may be a disappointment
if you compare it to the past releases in this genre .
