There may be uncertainty around forthcoming Salman Khan releases due to 1 year imprisonment announcement for Salman Khan but in the meanwhile his fans still have some reasons to rejoice as his 'Saawan - The Love Season' gets ready to release. Produced and directed by Saawan Kumar who roped in Khan around a decade and a half back for his superhit film 'Sanam Bewafa', their second coming looks promising too in 'Saawan' that should cater to the masses.

We caught hold of a quick 30 seconds promo of the film and the first reaction that comes is that the movie should keep Salman's fans happy, at least in the B and C centers. Here we present a review of how the promo goes.

By the look of things, it becomes pretty apparent that Salman Khan is shown to be a man who comes with supernatural powers. But the setting of the movie is completely contemporary with a present day setting. First shot of the promo begins with a focus on Salman's eyes followed by a tight close-up and a caption that goes as "The man who saw tomorrow". With the length of his hair more than that of Aamir Khan in 'Mangal Pandey', it gives a deadly feel on the screen as Salman (with a light beard on) looks straight into the camera with his eyes doing all the talking.

As Salman looks heavenwards while standing in the middle of a street and then closes his eyes, the captions follow around the three signs. These are the signs that bring a mystic feel to the proceedings.

The First Sign You Cannot Explain
The Second Sign You Cannot Ignore
The Third Sign You Cannot Believe

The background score is a chorus that has a haunting effect while making you glued on to see what follows next. The promo reaches its crescendo when there are a few cars blasting next to each other and whirling in the air a la Guddu Dhanoa's movies from the 90s. Just after the blast, Salman looks at the accident around him and conveys an impression as if he expected that this was on the way.

Next shot is in a dark alley/basement where he is wearing a black vest and gets into a hand-on-hand with a goon who attacks him from the behind. Since he comes with supernatural powers, he is shown to be reacting in a split second motion and catches hold of the goon's hand taking him by surprise. As he looks into the eyes of his attacker, once again there is an eerie feeling that gives a good idea about the character he plays.

A question that follows is whether all this happening on screen is due to God, Love, Coincidence, Destiny or something else.

Promo ends with a yellow dupatta flying across the screen with a clear blue sky in the background and the movie's title 'Saawan - The Love Season'.

Also starring Kapil Jhaveri and Saloni Aswani, who were the lead pair in Saawan Kumar's last film 'Dil Pardesi Ho Gaya', 'Saawan - The Love Season' should be the first Salman release in coming few months.
