Saawariya - is a recently released Hindi movie.  If you are from Tamil Nadu, you would read it as சாவரியா.
Now here comes the beauty of Indian diversity.  Saawariya in Hindi means "beloved" (source: google search results).  And look what Tamil has in store for you.  The word, in Tamil is always used as a question.  Example : pOi saavariya? (meaning, why don't just go and die). Just like "gaandu" which means "irritate" in local slang.  And we all know what it means in Hindi.
I heard Chak de India made brisk business down south and so if Saawariya runs to packed houses in Sathyam theater, imagine how black tickets will be sold - "சாவரியா, சாவரியா 40 rooba"...
என்னக் கொடுமை இது?
Thinking further in Tamil, what could be a sequel to Saawariya?   How about "Seththu Poittiya"?  ;-)

I asked the same question when I first heard some play the "Saawariya" song from a Shahrukh Khan movie - I forget the name, it is the one in which he returns from abroad to reform India or something like that.
